About me
Modern life can be complex, stressful and full of pressures to live, think and behave in particular ways. It’s easy to lose sight of who we really are and the lives we truly want to live.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. My aim is to be your 'Life Guide' and support you on life’s journey - whether you’re an individual seeking greater clarity and meaning, or a professional exploring how to lead and work more authentically.
I provide sensitive, insightful and supportive coaching to people at all stages of their lives and careers. Clients come to me for help with building confidence, escaping unhelpful thought patterns, finding direction and purpose, setting and achieving goals, or simply feeling supported and seen as they move through life or work transitions.

Further information
I’ve had the privilege of being supported by Richard Docwra as an executive coach, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His insight, empathy, and ability to challenge constructively have made a real difference to my leadership journey. Richard creates a space that is both safe and stretching — helping me to clarify my goals, navigate complex challenges, and grow with confidence. His support has been invaluable, and I’m deeply grateful for Richard’s wisdom and skill.
David Murray, Chief Executive, Sustainability First
Working with Richard has been genuinely transformative. His coaching has already made a real difference to how I approach both my personal and professional life. Through our conversations, he has helped me to see my personality in a new light — not just recognising where my strengths lie, but also understanding my weaknesses in a way that feels constructive rather than limiting. Richard has a way of asking the right questions and offering insights that stay with you long after the session ends. He has also shared practical tools and strategies that I’ve been able to put into practice straight away, which have given me more confidence and clarity in how I deal with challenges. I can already feel the positive impact of this work, and I know it will continue to grow as our coaching progresses.
Richard Slade
Richard offers a unique combination of really being able to listen and meet people where they are at, whilst having great business acumen. He leads without ego and is an excellent executive coach. I would recommend him without hesitation.
Esther Foreman, CEO, Social Change Agency
I recommend Richard without hesitation. He has exemplary active listening and questioning skills which help to create the calm space in which to think and articulate with clarity. I experienced a family bereavement part way through my run of sessions, and Richard gave me the space I needed before gently recommencing sessions with the perfect level of challenge and encouragement. It is rare to find a work coach with such refined abilities, who can elicit insights from his clients that genuinely illuminate the path ahead.
Elizabeth Holmes
Richard’s coaching provided a much-needed space for reflection and insight. He skillfully guided me to recognise the signs of overwhelm and empowered me to develop a clear plan for prioritising my well-being, including taking essential time off. His supportive and incisive approach enabled me to address a critical personal and professional challenge effectively. I highly recommend Richard to anyone seeking a perceptive and results-oriented coach who truly helps you address underlying issues and move forward.
