Facilitating Slow Thinking Space.
Coaching and facilitated reflection to support leaders and other change agents to be effective and resilient, to maintain wellbeing in themselves and their organisations and to enable wider systemic transformation across organisational boundaries.
Supporting mature professionals going through significant professional and life transitions.
Hello. I’m Trish
I first became passionate about coaching in the 1990s. I was a senior manager in a charity, looking for ways to support my team. It made sense to me that if organisations provided the conditions for their people to flourish, then individuals would be happier at work and would develop both personally and professionally, and the organisation and its stakeholders would benefit as a result. When I discovered coaching, I knew I had found one of the keys that organisations can use to unlock the potential of their people, support them to be at their best and happy at work, and by so doing organisations and businesses prosper too.
I’ve been running my coaching business since 2005 and have invested in a solid mix of academic qualifications, training and CPD to support my work over the years. I’ve been privileged to work with hundreds of people during that time and have loved every minute of it.

Working with me
In over 20 years as a coach I have developed my own style, bringing together my personal qualities – my clients often refer to the sense of calm and stillness I bring to working with them – together with decades of experience, robust qualifications and ongoing learning.
I work with leaders and change agents, often working in complex environments with a degree of volatility and uncertainty.
I offer a calm thinking space away from the busy-ness of work to help people solve complex issues, maintain resilience and work more effectively within and across organisations.
My style appeals to driven people working in complex, uncertain, often high-paced environments who appreciate the quality of thinking they can engage in in when provided with deep attention in a respectful confidential space.
I have particular experience in working with introverts, and sensitive people who do not always respond well to the more performance-driven coaching approaches often adopted in organisations. I have found a reflective approach works very well for such people and allows for a deep level of challenge and support which enables them to thrive and develop in cultures that may be predominantly extrovert.
I work with leaders and other change agents often working actively with organisational and system change. I also support organisations developing internal coaching programmes.
In my private practice I specialise in working with mature women going through big professional and life transitions.
