Piers Foster

Hi, I'm Piers.

If life looks fine from the outside but something feels missing, you're not alone, and it doesn't mean you've got it wrong. I'm an ICF ACC accredited executive and personal coach, and I work with people who are ready to work out what they really want from the next chapter, whether that's in work, relationships or how they live day to day.

I believe success means little if it comes at the expense of fulfilment, purpose or authenticity. Together we create a calm, confidential space to explore who you are now, what matters most, and where you want to go next. Coaching is future-focused and practical: we clarify what you want, understand what's holding you back, and build a clear route forward.

There's no quick fix, but real change is possible when you give it time and honest attention.

Why I coach:
I came to coaching after a period when I'd taken a few knocks, both personally and professionally. Therapy was cathartic, but what I needed was something focused on the future: a goal to aim for and a sense of how to get there. That's the support I wish I'd had, and it's what I now offer.

Before coaching I spent around ten years in education and have built my own businesses. What I always found most meaningful were the conversations where people began to see themselves more clearly and think differently about what was possible. Those conversations are now at the centre of my work.

"Working with Piers has been a truly transformative experience. Over the past months he has helped me gain clarity, set meaningful goals and strategies, and helped me build the confidence to take action. His guidance has been both compassionate and practical."
Michele, Director

If this sounds like where you are, I'd be glad to hear from you. The first step is a free introductory conversation.

Rather than focusing solely on performance or career progression, I help clients explore who they are becoming, think more clearly, and build lives that feel as fulfilling as they are successful. My work commonly explores:

• Confidence and self-belief 
• Leadership and career transitions 
• Identity beyond the role 
• Decision-making and clarity 
• Relationships and boundaries 
• Balancing ambition with personal fulfilment 

Meaningful change takes time, so I usually work with clients over around six months, with sessions every two weeks. That gives us room to get clear on what you want, put it into practice between sessions, and see what sticks. The minimum commitment is three sessions.

Sessions are available at 60 minutes (£180) or 90 minutes (£240). The longer session gives us more space to go deeper, which many people find helpful when they're working through something significant. If you're not sure yet, I offer a free introductory call so you can see whether working together feels right. I also have a small number of bursary places, so please get in touch if cost is a barrier.

Early on, we focus on getting clear about what matters and what you want to change. As you build momentum and confidence, many people continue to embed the changes or turn to other areas of their life. A lot of my clients choose to go round again after their first six months, once they're ready to build on what they've achieved.

You may feel a shift after one session, but lasting change comes from committing to the process. I'm looking to work with people who are ready to do that.

The first step is a short introductory conversation. This is a confidential space to talk openly about what feels unclear, what is shifting, and what you might want from the next stage of your life or career. It is also an opportunity to see whether working together feels like the right fit.

If we decide to continue, we agree a coaching approach that suits your situation and level of support. From there, we begin a structured but flexible process designed to create clarity, rebuild confidence where it has been shaken, and help you move forward with more intention and alignment than before.
