Career coaching
"Stephen quickly identifed the obstacles that I had hit in my career and life. A lot centred around my self confidence. Stephen worked with me to effectively overcome these challenges and helped me to repackage my skills and experience for future employers.

With my self-confidence now fully restored life once again looks good again." Mike, 48, London
"Stephen coached me when my career lacked direction. Stephen was very knowledgeable, put me at ease and I felt comfortable talking about quite personal issues. We identified my long term career goals and a strategy to get there. It's made me more confident and stronger in my self-knowledge and belief. I'm now actively changing my career and seeking roles that will get me in the right direction and will give me more satisfaction and enjoyment. Laura, 29, London

"Stephen helped me regain control of my life when I faced redundancy. In talking through my fears about the future, Stephen encouraged me to see this as a unique opportunity to think about areas I was interested in and where I really wanted to be.

Stephen helped me turn a dire situation into a new lease of life." Sasha, 38, London
"When faced with some tough decisions about my career and approach to work, where I was not able to "see the wood for the trees", Stephen helped me step back from the issue and prioritise what was important for me. An engaging listener he offered challenge where appropriate but did not step in to take decisions for me" Greg, 27, York
"Stephen is a really excellent coach – he helped me find clarity and direction when I faced difficult and conflicting life choices.

I felt in safe hands and I highly recommend him." Elizabeth, 30, London
"I would describe myself as a discrete and private individual at work and felt that Stephen created a trusting and safe environment where I was able to speak honestly and feel listened to. He was able to get to the nub of issues very quickly. He didn’t shy away from asking tough, penetrating, straight forward and sometimes awkward questions. However he did this with a very visible and apparent context of care and positive intention." Hannah, 32, London

“I was sceptical about meeting with Stephen as it’s not something I normally do, however after months of losing my way I thought it was worth a shot. I’m glad I did as I have rediscovered what’s important in my life and have realised how to go about making the changes I want. I felt like he was someone I could fully open up to confidently. Stephen helped me come to decisions about my life and I feel so much more in control. Several months later and my life is now stable and on track and I feel much happier and lighter.” Mo, 23, London
“I’m very glad to have received Stephen’s coaching: he has a good balance of optimism and realism and is generous with his energy and enthusiasm in explaining practical ways to deal with problems. At the end of the session it felt like he had held up a mirror of me to demonstrate, in a tactful and caring way, how various thought patterns and habits may hinder success in my life goals.” Katheryn, 47, Islington
"After redundancy, bereavement and divorce, my whole life fell apart. Counselling did not prove helpful, but Stephen's coaching was really effective. He asked a few questions and listened carefully before making non-judgemental and insightful comments. After just one session I changed my approach to my situation: I stopped running into the brick wall and am now climbing over it." Annie, 56, Surrey
“Stephen’s style is incredibly welcoming and encouraging – he gave me the space to talk through the issues I was dealing with, while providing me with a number of practical steps to approach them in a new and more effective way. Despite the short amount of time we’ve had together, I’m already seeing the benefits. I’ve significantly improved my family relations and my stress levels have dropped. Most importantly, Stephen helped me develop a fresh perspective on my issues, and I’m much more confident that I can achieve the goals I’ve set for myself.” Ram, 24, London

“Stephen really helped me to put my problems into perspective, giving an honest opinion where I needed it most and helping me to approach my problems in a more objective way. My coaching resulted both in practical steps I took forward as well as improvements in how I approach things more generally – the alternative perspective he gave me is something I have kept with me.” Emily, 26, London
“I used to over analyse everything and felt weighed down by my past. Stephen is an exceptional coach: he brought clarity to my life, gave me insights to things I hadn’t seen before and helped me leave my baggage behind. Now I don’t dwell on things, I no longer feel like everything is my fault, and I have more energy for my relationships and work.” Natalie, 41, London
Confidence coaching
“I spoke to Stephen before moving to a new role as I didn’t want my lack of confidence to hold me back as it had done in the past. Stephen encouraged me not to be so hard on myself and to focus on the positives. My confidence improved and now recovers quickly when things go wrong. As a result I am loving my new job and have really been able to move forward. ” Jane, 38, London
“As an ambitious and successful individual, I wasn’t used to missing the goals others expected of me, those I expected of myself. Worrying about my performance hamstrung my efforts to improve it – further undermining my confidence in a vicious cycle. In just a couple of hours, Stephen was able to identify and explain how I was failing to help myself. Using the strategies and tools Stephen recommended, I unlocked the motivation I needed to get back on track with my work and my life. I’ve never looked back.” Mark, 25, Devon
“As an experienced professional I was used to delivering in pressurised roles and had an innate sense of confidence and self belief. However, when faced with a stream of life changing events and a range of uncertainties I began to question my abilities, lost confidence and felt I was starting to flounder. Speaking to Stephen helped me regain a sense of perspective and understand the value of positive actions. Stephen’s easy and open style of coaching was extremely supportive and helped me on the journey back to a sense of normality.” David, 50, Hertfordshire
"I met with Stephen when I was struggling to cope with pressures at work, which had eroded my confidence in my own abilities.

Since our meeting my situation, confidence and well-being have significantly improved." Andrew, 52, London
"I was in a low in my personal and professional life, which had a knock on effect on my self confidence. I was stuck in procrastination and felt trapped. Stephen gave me strength and focus to manage my difficulties. I used to be scared of failing, now I take on risks and get on with things. My self confidence improved and the change in my life is dramatic." Louise, 43, Kensington
"When I met Stephen I was having a tough time at work - for the first time in my career. I was stuck and full of fear, panic and anxiety.
