Client Testimonials
People come to coaching at significant moments in their professional lives: when something needs to change, an important decision has to be made, or the way forward is not yet clear.
My role is to provide a confidential space in which you can think deeply and honestly: combining careful attention and psychological insight with structure, challenge and a clear focus on moving forward.
“Tim's gift is to be able to mesh tremendous intuition and sensitivity with some really helpful structure. This allowed me to feel like I was making forward moving progress ... I had to work hard, and Tim did not let me off the hook which was exactly the role I asked him to play during our time together.” Richard, coaching client
Clarity and direction
Coaching can help you step back from immediate pressures, understand what really matters and find a clearer direction through complexity or change.
“In a short space of time he has helped me to achieve clarity and confidence during a period of considerable change in my life - enabling me to take the road ahead that will lead to fulfilling my professional and personal goals.” Suresh Singh
“I find our sessions help me to think about my future in an objective rather than subjective way. For example, my idea of writing a book started out as just being a memoir, but is now developing into a plan with a core argument, which can be backed up with evidence.” Danny Reilly
Confidence and meaningful change
Insight matters most when it enables something to shift. Coaching creates the space to question established assumptions, reconnect with your values and translate new understanding into practical change.
“Tim made me feel very comfortable and at the same time he asked highly thought-provoking questions, which led me to activate changes that enable more fulfilment at work and integrity around my values.” Staff member at an East London social-inclusion charity
“I always came away feeling positive and that change was possible. ... Tim was great at asking questions which gently challenged my fixed ideas about myself and the future. Overall the experience was very constructive...” Anna
Depth, challenge and support
The most valuable coaching conversations make room for honesty and uncertainty while also getting to the heart of what may be holding you back.
“He is highly perceptive and able to shoot powerful question straight at the heart of issues, opening great insights. His abilities made me feel at home, and safe in our conversations, free to explore deep seated issues and be honest about myself.” Gio Pisano
“Tim skilfully balances creating a warm and positive coaching relationship with cutting to the chase to push your thinking forward. He is sensitive, positive, and constructive. He listened carefully to what I wanted to achieve ... and did a great job of tailoring what we did to what I'd asked for.” Coaching client
For organisations and teams
I also design and facilitate programmes for leaders, teams and organisations. These draw on coaching, mindfulness and leadership development to help people respond more effectively to pressure, strengthen working relationships and lead with greater awareness.
“Tim’s ‘Wisdom at Work’ programme was extremely well received by our senior management team at Servier Bulgaria. It was highly successful in delivering our senior management team’s training objectives – to learn practical ways to deal with stress and distraction, to improve focus and performance, to find a better work/life balance, and to enhance our ability to communicate and build strong relationships with colleagues.” Antoaneta Nestorova, HR Manager, Servier
“I was impressed by Tim’s ability to ‘get under the skin’ of what it’s like working for Poplar Harca and to adapt the training accordingly... They found the simple techniques taught very effective in helping them feel calmer and more in control while at work...” Andrea Baker, Director of Housing, Poplar Harca Housing Association
“The training proved to be highly effective in helping participants to deal more effectively with the everyday challenges and stresses of working life at a local authority. ... The project has continued in the organisation with weekly mindfulness sessions thanks to Tim’s advice on sustainability.” Jules Potter, Head of Organisational Development, Slough Borough Council
What might become possible?
If you are facing a significant professional transition, a difficult decision or a sense that something needs to change, an initial conversation can help us explore what is happening and whether working together would be useful.
