Originally trained as a Co-Active Coach through my work with National Voices, the UK’s largest coalition of health and care charities, I have been providing lived experience coaching to senior leaders and managers since 2022.
A coaching relationship is a safe, confidential conversation about you - where you are, what you find challenging, where you want to be. By acknowledging the challenges we face in our lives, I help people reflect on what they want to achieve, what gets in the way, and what they can do to unlock change. By exploring the perspectives we all look at life through, I create a space and time for deep, honest reflection.
I offer a series of one-on-one online coaching sessions. After an initial no-commitment chemistry session, we can agree a timeframe and frequency of sessions that suits you. A typical engagement is hourly sessions every 1-2 weeks for up to 3 months.
“Richard is amazing. He is an incredibly good listener and sees through my rambling to get to the crux of what really bothers me about certain things, including myself. He is a very talented coach. This was a unique experience and has helped me focus on where I am able to have an impact.”
“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Richard. We used the onboarding session to establish the relationship and understand more about each other. The coaching sessions had a pre-agreed theme, so I was well prepared to talk. He challenged my thinking and gave me things to think about between sessions and kept the sessions bounded in terms of the available time. I really looked forward to the sessions I spent with Richard.”
“My coach was amazing and I gave him that feedback at the end of our sessions. He made things very clear for me even if he wasn’t giving me any advice but asking the right questions and just by listening and repeating things in a clearer way. He helped me throughout our sessions to have a clear notion of who I am and what is my purpose.”
“I would highly recommend Rich to anyone seeking coaching. The reflective space he created made it easier to think creatively to overcome issues, to identify root causes and to make progress. I found Rich supportive, non-judgmental and perceptive. The sessions were very positive and thought-provoking. This was my first experience of coachingand it makes me more interested in taking part in more in the future.”
