About us

Firetower is passionate about providing coaching designed to help our clients improve their lives in any area they are looking to develop.

We have been coaching remotely for several years and therefore have strong skills in making remote coaching a successful experience for our clients. We have continued working throughout the current pandemic and can coach people in any location using online facilities. Coaching can also be provided by telephone and using electronic communications and we can provide a mix of these methods according to client needs.

We do offer in-person coaching but please note that all of our services are being undertaken remotely currently.

We offer a highly-tailored coaching programme and are able to support the client in whatever direction they discover is the best one for them to take. Firetower uses a variety of different coaching styles and approaches all tailored to meet the client's needs and designed to support their development. Many clients find that their lives are substantially changed in the first 6 sessions.

Anyone interested in being coached has the capacity to grow from the experience. Firetower will work hard to help clients to discover that they have the means to do so from within themselves. Firetower strives to be inspirational and creative in its approaches with clients and will find ways to enable them to successfully move forward at each and every stage of the coaching process.

Further information

Here is some feedback from clients recently worked with:

"Even though we conducted this whole experience via Video Conferencing, it didn’t take away from the experience."

"You have coached me from the start without me even realising! This is your special skill, the ability to 'read' a person or situation without seeming to, you are intuitive and empathetic - the perfect coach."

"Visualisation technique you taught me was a life-saver."

"It was interesting to have to put on paper what my values are as I have not thought about these in this way. I clearly use them every day but now I understand why some behaviours are tolerable and others not."

"Just to say thank you for your coaching on Wed. It made me clear on what I really wanted job-wise."

"The sessions reminded me to take ownership of the skills I have, these were skills I have taken for granted in the past. "

"Through her mentoring and coaching, I developed my interpersonal and leadership skills. Fiona has helped me by looking out for me and checking in on me, she has been a source of advice and guidance as well as being able to give an outside perspective on some tricky situations."

"I have found Fiona to be an excellent motivator, her own enthusiasm and work ethic is second to none, and this inspires those around her, not only the individuals and team she manages but across the wider work environment."

"Working with Fiona made me realise that there were other options. Her support was very clear and suggestions were informative and the experience motivated me to move forwards in a better direction."

"I have found from a particular experience, an exceptional quality of Fiona's is personal coaching which has enabled me to sustain my self-confidence and self-belief at work, during a particularly challenging life event."

"I have benefited from the coaching and mentoring from Fiona in many ways. She particularly helped me to become much more self-confident and to expand my skills and knowledge base."

"As my line manager, Fiona was able to develop me as an individual. Even though I had been in my role for many years, due to Fiona's encouragement, I was able to continue to progress, and not stagnate in my role."

"Fiona has a wealth of knowledge, and she was always there for you and is never judgemental, and this makes her a very credible leader of people."
