Career coaching for people in the social care and charity sectors

Build clarity and confidence alongside a coach with 20 years of sector experience

What people say

  • "Simon has helped me gain confidence, clarity and a greater sense of control over both my work and personal life"

  • "The most valuable has been the way you listen both without judgement and without pushing in a particular direction"

  • "I have felt heard and seen and encouraged to find my clarity and I have not yet found my way forward but I feel nearer my goals"

  • "The biggest change has been a greater sense of confidence and self-awareness. I trust myself more, feel more comfortable advocating for what I need, and am much clearer about the boundaries I need to put in place to stay well and work effectively"

  • "I feel less anxious and more trusting that I will find my way forward"

  • "What has surprised me most is just how much of a difference coaching has made. I was initially a little dubious about coaching and wasn't sure what to expect, but it has had a far greater impact than I anticipated"

We’ll build a space to stop, think and move forward

“ Lasting change doesn’t come from being told what to do, it comes from having the space to reflect, challenge self-doubt, and discover your own solutions ”

We’ll explore what you really want, what’s holding you back and where you want to go

Clarity

Through honest conversations and the right questions, you’ll gain a clearer perspective and greater confidence in your own decisions

Confidence

We'll turn your new clarity into practical steps you've chosen yourself, you’ll have a plan and the momentum to follow it through

Signs you’re feeling frozen, uncertain or at crossroads at work

You’re constantly replaying work situations after they’ve happened

The Sunday night worries come round every week

You’re unsure of what’s next for you and aren’t seeing a clear path

A little about me

For over twenty years, I’ve worked in leadership across social care and housing, helping people navigate change, overcome challenges, and build the confidence to move forward. Over the years, I’ve developed a real passion for listening deeply to people, hearing the words they say and understanding what sits beneath them.

Outside of work I’ve completed multiple 5Ks, 10Ks, and four half marathons. Running taught me the value of resilience, determination, and consistency. It reminds me that meaningful progress isn’t about being the fastest or having all the answers, it’s about taking one step at a time and continuing to move forward, even when the journey feels challenging.

Travel reminds me that our current circumstances don’t have to define our future. I’ve been fortunate to experience places including Central America, Australia, Africa and, more recently, New York. Travelling has taught me to look beyond what is familiar and recognise that there is always a bigger picture.

In my late teens I remember listening to a radio phone-in programme, introduced by Carol King's Just Call to Say I Love You. People would call in and share what was happening in their lives, and I was fascinated by the power of simply being heard.

Everyone has their own story, perspective and way of making sense of the world. Often, what we need most is the opportunity to slow down, reflect and feel genuinely heard.

Whether you’re navigating change, developing your leadership, or looking to take the next step in your career, I’m here to help you move forward with purpose.
