1-2-1 Coaching

Personal. Focused. Transformative.

One-to-one coaching gives you dedicated space to think clearly, overcome doubt, and make the decisions that matter most to you and your work.

  • Stepping into a new leadership role and want to lead authentically from day one

  • Navigating a career transition and need clarity about your next move

  • Feeling stuck or overwhelmed despite your talent and hard work

  • Wrestling with imposter syndrome or self-doubt that's holding you back

  • Leading through change or challenge and need strategic thinking support

  • Burning out from caring too much and want to sustain your impact without sacrificing yourself

We support leaders across sectors, with particular depth of experience in:

What You'll Gain

Through our coaching partnership, you'll develop:

Clarity about what matters most, what you're really trying to achieve, and what needs to change

Confidence in your capabilities, your voice, and your right to be here doing this work

Courage to make bold choices, set boundaries, and lead in ways that feel true to who you are

Resilience that's rooted in self-compassion, not endless pushing through

Strategy that's actually achievable given your real life, energy, and priorities

How It Works

We typically work together over 6-9 months, meeting every 4-6 weeks for 90 minute sessions. Some clients continue for longer; others return periodically when they need support navigating new challenges.

Between sessions, you'll have space to reflect, experiment with new approaches, and notice what changes. This isn't about goals and accountability, it's about giving yourself permission to think differently and act accordingly.

All our coaches are professionally accredited (ICF, EMCC, or ILM) and bring extensive leadership experience alongside their coaching expertise. We’ll help you find the coach whose strengths and style best fit your needs.

The Coaching Relationship

Effective coaching depends on trust, honesty, and psychological safety. Before we start any coaching relation, we offer a free chemistry call to explore whether we're the right fit for each other. If we're not, we'll help you find someone who is.

What you can expect from us:

  • Deep listening without judgment

  • Thoughtful questions that help you see what you couldn't see alone

  • Compassionate challenge when you need it

  • Complete confidentiality (within professional boundaries)

  • Genuine belief in your capacity to lead well

Investment

Coaching fees vary depending on the coach you work with and the length of engagement. As a guide, our coaching partnerships typically range from £1,500-£4,500.

We offer a limited number of subsidised places for individuals from underrepresented groups or working in grassroots organisations. Please ask if this might apply to you.

Next Steps

The best way to start is with a free 30-minute discovery call. We'll discuss what you're facing, what you're hoping to achieve, and whether coaching is the right support for you right now.
