The Considered Individual
One-to-one coaching, in person or online, for professionals navigating the space between what their role demands and what they actually want.
Before you decide.
What is coaching?
Coaching provides protected time to think clearly about a decision, a transition, or a pattern that can be hard to see from the inside. It’s structured and confidential.
Coaching isn't advice or therapy.
My job is to hold the process, ask the right questions, and reflect what I notice. The aim is clearer, more intentional choices that fit your own values.
What we do with that is yours to direct.
For people facing a decision, a transition, or a pattern they want to understand, particularly in work where judgment matters and mistakes carry a cost.
It works best for people ready to take an active hand in their own progress, not looking to be told what to do.
Who is it for?
How do I get started?
We begin with a short, no-obligation conversation. It isn’t a coaching session, just a chance to talk through what’s bringing you to coaching now and check it’s the right fit before we commit to anything.
To arrange it, get in touch through the contact form or email me directly.
Sessions run online or in person.
Further questions.
-
Sessions run for 55 minutes. We start with a check-in, and you bring whatever is live for you that day. You don’t need an agenda, and it can shift as we go.
From there we work on what you’ve brought, using questions and reflective tools. No two sessions look the same. Each one is shaped around you, the issue, and the moment, so the only structure is a beginning, a middle and an end.
We close by looking at what worked, what didn’t, and what you’ll take into the time between sessions.
-
Most people start with a block of four sessions.
Beyond that, it depends on what you’re working through; a specific issue might resolve in that time, while something broader may need longer. If you know you only want one or two sessions, that’s fine too.
You bring what’s going on. I hold the process.
-
Everything in the room stays there. The only exception would be a genuine safeguarding concern, and I’d always tell you if that arose before acting on it. Session notes are brief, and never shared without your consent.
-
Often it’s a decision that won’t resolve itself, for example, a career change, or a role that no longer fits the way it used to. Sometimes it’s less specific than that, maybe a sense of having drifted from your own judgement, or of carrying more than you’re able to name clearly.
This is the kind of thing that’s yours to carry, not a shared problem, and most people arrive somewhere between knowing something needs to shift and not yet knowing what.
-
Coaching asks something of you outside the room too. There’s no homework as such, but the work depends on you staying engaged with it between sessions, not just showing up to them.
I may suggest something to try, like journaling or sitting with a question. Often the most useful thing is not rushing to fix it. Most of us want answers quickly, and part of this work is learning to stay with the unresolved middle.
If you’d like more structure, I’m happy to set tasks too.
-
Sometimes coaching surfaces something that needs a different kind of support, such as a mental health concern, a medical question, or something outside what coaching can hold.
If that happens, I’ll tell you, and point you towards appropriate support. We may pause or stop coaching while you get it, and you’re welcome to return when it makes sense.
