About me
You don’t have to be falling apart to know something needs to change.
Perhaps you’ve reached a point where life or work looks reasonably successful from the outside—but inside, you feel stuck, uncertain or no longer quite like yourself.
You might be:
- overthinking a decision you know you need to make
- questioning your confidence or direction
- struggling to speak up or be taken seriously at work
- facing redundancy, a career change or a new leadership role
- feeling capable, but frustrated that you’re not showing what you can really do
- wondering whether there should be more to life than simply keeping everything going
- If any of that sounds familiar, I can help.
I work with adults who want greater confidence, clearer direction and the courage to make meaningful changes in their work or life.
Some are leaders, business owners or experienced professionals. Others are navigating a crossroads, rebuilding after a difficult period or trying to work out what comes next.
They don’t need someone to tell them what to do. They need space to think properly, some honest challenge and practical help turning insight into action.
What we might work on
Our conversations can help you:
- quieten the overthinking and make clearer decisions
rebuild confidence after a setback or period of change
identify what genuinely matters to you now. - speak with more authority in meetings, interviews or presentations
- work through a career decision or change of direction
- set stronger boundaries without losing who you are
- stop performing for other people and feel more comfortable being yourself
- turn “I know something needs to change” into a realistic way forward
What is it like to work with me?
My style is calm, straightforward and supportive—with enough challenge to help you move beyond the thinking that has kept you stuck.
I’m not there to judge you, fix you or give you a generic motivational speech. I’ll listen carefully, ask questions that get beneath the surface and help you see choices that can be difficult to spot when you’re in the middle of everything.
Where useful, I also draw on NLP, Motivational Maps and practical approaches to confidence, communication and behavioural change.
You can expect honest conversation, fresh perspective and clear actions—not endless talking without movement.
A little about me
Before becoming a coach, trainer and leadership facilitator, I spent years leading and developing people in business.
My approach has also been shaped by life beyond work. I have experienced cancer, divorce, single parenthood and the challenge of rebuilding life when the original plan disappeared.
I don’t believe difficult experiences have to define us. But I do understand that “just be positive” is rarely a useful answer.
Today I coach individuals and leaders, facilitate leadership programmes and train other practitioners in NLP and Motivational Maps. I bring that professional experience—and a good deal of real life—into every conversation.
Not sure whether coaching is right for you?
You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly formed goal.
We can start with a free 30-minute conversation about what is happening, what you would like to be different and whether I am the right coach to help.
There’s no pressure and no hard sell. Just a useful conversation and a chance to work out your next step.
Use the “Book discovery call” or “Email me” button to get started.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’m an International Trainer and Master Practitioner of NLP with the American Board of NLP, a Licensed Practitioner and Trainer of Motivational Maps, and an mBIT coach.
I have extensive experience coaching individuals and delivering leadership, communication and personal-development programmes for organisations.
My work particularly draws on:
- confidence and self-belief
- values and personal identity
- motivation and decision-making
- leadership presence
- communication and public speaking
- resilience through change
- practical behavioural change
Qualifications matter, but so does the person sitting opposite you. I bring professional expertise, warmth, calm challenge and lived experience to the work, not a one-size-fits-all coaching formula.
Areas of coaching I deal with
Other areas of coaching I deal with
I also specialise in helping people develop confidence in meetings, interviews, public speaking and presentations. This can include managing nerves, trusting your voice, communicating with greater authority and becoming a more natural, engaging speaker.

'My journey with Paul has been incredible. He's helped me so much. I have a totally different mindset about myself now and how to achieve what I want out of life. All those fears and doubts... Gone!!'
'Paul is really relaxed, warm, compassionate, and has a great ability to help you identify the block, or obstacle stopping you from achieving what it is you want. Working with Paul has been enjoyable and enlightening in equal measure. Like many people, I can feel that I'm not achieving my potential or struggling to find a way forward and my sessions with Paul really helped me to find clarity. Even coaches need coaches! Thank you Paul'
'I am maybe halfway through our journey together, and, journey, is entirely the right word. Paul is absolute gold. I can not put into words the value that this guide/spirit/coach has helped me towards in the hideous period that many of us have experienced in 2020/2021. I love this guy and praise what he has brought to me and my life. Take the time to invest a bit of love in yourself with this guy.'
'Paul is an amazing coach, he takes time to get to know his clients and really helps them to realise their true potentials. With Paul's coaching, I've made such progress in a short space of time, I'm unrecognisable in a brilliant way. I'm now able to see things and situations with absolute clarity. In an information-overloaded society we live today, having clarity is real power. I'd recommend Paul to anyone and everyone, as we all need a bit of coaching and clarity from time to time. Thanks Paul!
