Individuals: Coaching

Supporting you in writing your story

I know you hold the key to your own progress and success. Through careful questioning and other techniques, I can help you reach new insights or a different understanding of what you want to change, enabling you to shape your story. You are responsible for your own choices and actions; nevertheless, I see coaching as a collaborative process to reach positive outcomes. My approach focuses on support and challenge, enabling you to clarify your professional goals and make significant progress towards them.

I am highly experienced at (and particularly enjoy) working with individuals in career transition, those who are considering their career options and in supporting early-career managers to build their effectiveness and self-confidence. I have a deep personal commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion and I am an associate member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (UK).

Sophie’s coaching was the real highlight of the leadership programme for me. She took my aspirations and helped me to think outside the box. My career has shifted in such fundamental ways as a consequence, that it is no overstatement to say that
the experience was life-changing.

I was in a significant rut feeling demotivated and with a career path that had stalled. Sophie
challenged my perspective (and my complacency!) by focusing on the positives of my career, the skills and abilities I had developed and built from there. I became refocused and reinvigorated and went into my next professional review with much
more confidence.

I was subsequently sent on a management development course
and six months later I was (and still am) the manager in what is literally my dream position in my organisation. Her coaching is excellent, and I would highly
recommend her.

Sophie is a fantastic coach, who helped me at a point where I had lost focus and motivation in my role. I quickly felt at ease with her and her questioning was
challenging whilst remaining empathetic. Her naturally positive outlook comes across in her coaching as we explored at short term and long-term options for my
career and wellbeing.
