One- to-one coaching is among the most effective tools for personal and professional development; it places you, your aspirations and well being right in the centre of the process and supports you in taking sustainable action towards your goals.

Perhaps you want to ‘write the book’, turn over a new leaf or get going on some overdue changes. Some come to coaching because they are starting out in a new rôle; some want to achieve a more favourable balance of life; others want to find meaning and direction and many want to grow their confidence.

Together, we identify what makes you tick and what you want to achieve. Then we explore how you view the world and use that to plot a course from here to there. As you go along achieving (and sometimes slipping up too) we also spend time pausing to reflect and enjoy the view, so you don't end up sacrificing the journey to the destination.

My coaching is influenced by a number of fields from my certification in Co-Active coaching , to my fascination with mindfulness, zen and cognitive psychology. We put all of this into practice so you get to climb your personal mountain.

a coaching client's story

 I approached Jamie as I was looking for a way to manage stress and feel more compassion for myself and others in the context of a heavy workload and complicated domestic arrangements.

The coaching sessions have allowed me to look afresh at a series of recurring thought and behaviour patterns and, as a result, I am slowly finding ways to bring a degree of generosity into the way I relate to others and in the way I perceive my abilities and outputs.

I have found the sessions refreshing and moving, but perhaps most unexpectedly, very practical. Being set regular tasks and being held accountable for fulfilling these, has meant that the impact and benefits of the coaching extend far beyond the sessions themselves.

One of Jamie’s skills that has most impressed me has been his sensitivity to my own style of working and seeking inspiration. This has helped refuel my love of writing, and intellectual work more generally, as well as my inter-personal relationships.

I notice the impact of the coaching every day and expect it to continue. My level of awareness of my thought and working patterns/habits has become more acute and I now approach my work and family/friends relations with much more confidence, lightness and focus."
