Executive & Business coaching

Seeking new direction

Are you busy yet bored? Are you technically skilled but feel there’s something missing? Or maybe you are at risk of redundancy and want a safe space to consider your options. If you would value some time and space to explore next steps, get in touch.

Personal impact

How do I present myself well at interview? How do I manage a difficult work relationship? What’s it like to be on the receiving end of me? How do I cope with ‘impostor syndrome’? If you have similar questions, we will use a compassionate, strengths-based lens to explore areas such as preferences, self-esteem and self-determination.

Returning to work

Returning to work after months or years away can be confusing, daunting and frustrating particularly if life circumstances have changed. We will explore your hopes, fears and options to overcome any barriers and make the most of your opportunities.

Client reviews

Having the opportunity and 'safe space' to talk through with Nicky has directly benefitted me in terms of self confidence / self-belief. We spoke about confidence breeding confidence and that has certainly been the case, with my interactions with colleagues improving and giving me the feeling of greater contribution to the Trust and COO team

Nicky is a very experienced coach. She was easy to talk to and I was able to open up about things I hadn't expected to. She supported me during these sessions and was happy with the changes as goals shifted. The sessions allowed me the time and headspace to consider my future and Nicky challenged my thinking which helped me to realise that sometimes my beliefs and assumptions are not always right. Before my coaching with Nicky I was not confident, not certain of my future and had no real plan or goal. Thanks to Nicky I am now on a really good path with more confidence and am feeling very positive about the future.

Given the nature of my goals and objectives, it was really important to me to feel comfortable with discussing topics openly and without judgement. Nicky was someone who I immediately warmed to and we struck up a good rapport and relationship. Nicky was able to strike a great balance of listening, whilst sensitively challenging me to think about things from alternative perspectives. I would recommend Nicky to others looking for a coach and would certainly reach back out to Nicky if I needed support again in the future.

I honestly cannot thank Nicky enough. My confidence and self-belief have grown. She listened and was able to reflect back some of my patterns of working and thinking that were not helpful to me. She did this with compassion, but firmness and she challenged me to take tangible steps towards my goal. This was not easy, but I did it and I am still doing it. I have shifted from trying to get away from a job that no longer suits me to an attitude of moving towards the jobs that I want to be doing. I was stuck when I signed up for coaching, I no longer feel stuck.

Nicky was so kind, empathetic and easy to talk to. Both of my coaching sessions had an enormous impact on me - I now feel motivated, enthusiastic and clear about what my goals are, how I can improve and why I was not satisfied in my job. I was feeling quite lost and hopeless prior to my coaching sessions but now I feel more myself again and optimistic about the future.
