Coaching

What is coaching?

Coaching provides a dedicated space to think, reflect and move forward with greater clarity and intention. Through conversation, questioning and practical exploration, coaching can help you better understand yourself, work through challenges and make progress towards what matters most to you.

How do I know if coaching is right for me?

Coaching may be helpful if you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, uncertain about your next steps, navigating change, looking to build confidence, or simply wanting space to think things through.

You don't need to be in crisis or have a specific problem to solve. Many people come to coaching because they want time and support to reflect, grow and move forward.

What happens during a coaching session?

Each session is different.

Together we explore what's on your mind, what challenges or opportunities you're facing, and what support may help.

Sessions may involve reflection, discussion, planning, problem-solving, mindset work or practical action planning.

How many coaching sessions will I need?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer.

Some people gain significant value from a small number of sessions focused on a specific challenge, while others choose to work together over a longer period to support ongoing growth and development.

Typically, clients engage for 10-12 session, normally on a monthly basis.

Are coaching sessions confidential?

Yes.

Everything discussed in coaching sessions is treated confidentially, with the exception of situations where there is a legal, professional or safeguarding obligation to share information.

Do I need an ADHD diagnosis to work with you?

No.

Some clients have a formal diagnosis, some are waiting for assessment, and others are exploring whether ADHD may explain some of their experiences.

You do not need a diagnosis to benefit from coaching.

What can ADHD coaching help with?

ADHD coaching can support with:

🟣Overwhelm and burnout

🟣Executive functioning challenges

🟣Time management and planning

🟣Confidence and self-trust

🟣Emotional regulation

🟣Boundaries

🟣Prioritisation

🟣Understanding strengths and challenges

🟣Sustainable ways of living and working

Is ADHD coaching therapy?

No.

Coaching and therapy are different approaches.

Coaching focuses on the present and future, helping you better understand yourself and move towards meaningful goals and changes.

If I feel another type of support would be more appropriate, I will discuss this with you.

Who is leadership coaching for?

I work with:

🟣Managers

🟣Senior leaders

🟣CEOs

🟣Founders

🟣Business owners

🟣New and aspiring leaders

Leadership coaching can be valuable whether you are new to leadership or have many years of experience. I work with leaders across a range of sectors, supporting them to navigate challenge, change and growth with greater confidence and clarity.

Organisational support

Organisational support

What is fractional leadership support?

Fractional leadership support provides experienced leadership capacity on a flexible basis.

Rather than recruiting permanently, organisations can access experienced leadership support for a defined period, project or area of work.

What types of organisations do you work with?

Most of my work is with charities, social enterprises and third sector organisations across Scotland, providing leadership coaching, organisational development, facilitation and strategic support.

Can support be tailored to our organisation?

Absolutely.

Every organisation is different. Support is tailored to your needs, objectives, capacity and stage of development.

What's the difference between coaching, consultancy and facilitation?

Coaching helps individuals think, reflect and move forward.

Facilitation supports groups and teams to have productive conversations and make progress together.

Consultancy typically involves providing recommendations, expertise or additional capacity to support a specific piece of work.

Depending on the situation, I may draw on one approach or a combination of all three.
