Coaching
Empowering senior leaders through one to one coaching programmes
Are you a senior leader or CEO (or someone looking to be either)?
Do you need bespoke support to overcome your most significant leadership challenges?
Senior leadership roles are unbelievably tough.
Every hour of your long working day is frantic beyond reason, then there's the evenings, weekends and lost sleep on top.
Work-life balance is nothing but a faraway dream.
Yet others assume you don't really have a problem as you are paid more and get to tell others what to do in your so-called cushy job.
Your high levels of workload, stress and anxiety don’t count. Neither the deluge of paperwork coming in from above nor the never ending demands are a priority for anyone else.
I am a qualified, accredited and experienced Leadership Coach and Team Coach, passionate about empowering others to thrive in their working lives. I support leaders to achieve beyond their wildest expectations and work together with seismic impact.
My clients include CEOs and other leaders from the public, private and voluntary sectors.
Every client is different and coaching is a personalised process. Our sessions will always feel authentic and never forced. Your goals will be your own, and we will work together on a plan that works for you and makes it happen.
A coach helped me see the wood for the trees on the way to the top and another supported me to move from frantic to fulfilled when I got there. Now I do this for others.

Coaching programmes
From Middle to Senior
For middle leaders who want to stand out when the opportunity arises. There may be skills to develop, a sense of ‘imposter syndrome’ or other concerns, including the impact on existing relationships and work-life balance.
Next Stop is the Top
For senior leaders who know they have the ability to do the top job but need to be ready for that final step. They want to understand the breadth of their responsibilities and how to approach the role so they are successful from the start.
From Frantic to Fulfilled
For senior leaders in the public sector who are swamped by the demands of their role. They need to work through significant challenges with someone who understands the pressures and complexities of the role.

“Alex was kind, supportive and sympathetic. He has excellent listening skills and asked insightful questions, and had a range of tools to help me think things through and arrive at my own solutions. He never missed an opportunity to remind me of a strength of mine.”
Michelle Malakouna
“Coaching with Alex has been a transformative experience. Alex's coaching style provided me with a safe space to explore my challenges post my maternity leave.
Not only do I feel that I've gained the necessary leadership skills and strategies to address any challenges that I was facing, I also felt that I really regained my confidence, my motivation, my passion for what I'm doing.
The coaching I had with Alex laid a really strong foundation for my growth. It's put me in a place where I feel really confident and excited for what the future holds.”
Elena Shaban - Recruitment Director
“Before my coaching programme, I sometimes found things overwhelming. I feel like it was lonely. There were many times when I felt like I was masking the problem.
I always leave sessions with the feeling like ‘yes, I've got this’ I know what I'm going to do. I've never had a problem with being open in those sessions and admitting the things that I wouldn't admit to anyone else.
Making time for the coaching cuts down a lot of the procrastination and also a lot of the wasted time that you spend, not knowing which way to turn. And if you commit to the sessions and you really engage with it, it will be massively beneficial.”
Patsy Cuncarr - CEO
“I moved from the corporate world to setting up a small business.
There was a lot of doubt in my mind. Alex helped me structure my thoughts and I now have more clarity in my thinking. He took me out of my comfort zone.
When I first had contact with Alex I hadn't even started my business. There was nothing tangible and I'm now a small business owner.
I've got clients. I'm doing basic things that I thought I wouldn't be able to do.”
Guner Husseyin - from the City to business owner
“I cannot recommend Alex’s leadership coaching enough. His encouraging yet challenging style enabled me to identify specific targets to work on and how I could complete them. Alex has a wealth of leadership knowledge and was able to signpost when needed. Since the coaching programme I feel far more confident to develop in my career and have the necessary tools to progress further.”
