One-to-One Leadership Coaching for Managers

Supporting leaders in developing their self-awareness, communication, and leadership capability.

You’re in a people-focused role, leading a team in further education, public services or a values-led organisation.

You care about the work and the people but the pressure’s constant, and the leadership development you need just isn’t there.

Coaching can help if you are:

  • Feeling underprepared or out of your depth.
  • Struggling with team dynamics, boundaries or difficult conversations.
  • Trying to do a good job but often feel like you’re letting someone down.
  • Keen to grow into a confident, capable leader but unsure where to start.

Tailored Support, Practical Focus

Personalised support to help you become the leader you want to be.

We start with a DISC personality assessment, which you complete online and receive a full report. In our first session, we dig into your profile together to uncover insights about how you lead, communicate, and respond under pressure.

From there, we build a coaching journey shaped around your goals, strengths, and challenges.

I use coaching skills, tools and exercises to help you…

  • Build confidence in your leadership approach.
  • Handle people challenges with more clarity and less stress.
  • Reflect on what’s working and where you want to grow.
  • Stay grounded in your values while meeting the demands of the role.

Flexible support when you need it.

You can book three sessions to start with, and we’ll review from there. For some people, that’s enough. Others choose to continue.

There’s no fixed programme or pressure.

Sessions can be virtual via Zoom or in person, depending on your location.

Coaching Fees

You can book an initial block of three 1:1 coaching sessions (60 minutes each).

After that, we’ll review together whether more sessions would be helpful.

I use a tiered pricing model to keep coaching accessible and fair, depending on who’s funding the support.

  • Corporate organisation: £600
  • Charity or public sector: £450
  • Self-funding individual: £300

If you’re not sure which category applies, just ask.
