Then I’d love to work with you. Working from the inside out, focusing on what matters to you, so you can bring out the best in yourself and others.
I coach chief executives, directors and senior leaders in education, health services, the public and private sector – all industries and businesses where there are people and a sense of purpose.
This is where coaching can help you.
Coaching is a collaborative process. Thought provoking, confidential, creative and with a psychological depth, so you can bring your whole self:

“I would highly recommend Trish to anyone needing support or coaching, for me it was life changing and I will be forever grateful to her for her insight and support.”
“Working with Trish has been fantastic, and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to accelerate their own development and understand what is holding them back. She is personable but challenging, insightful and highly emotionally intelligent, and knows good coaching inside-out.”
Whatever sort of coaching you are looking for – business coaching, performance coaching, achieving work-life balance, career coaching etc – having a good coach is fundamental to the development and success of an individual and an organisation. Most successful people and businesses have a coach or mentor to support them achieve their goals and to guide, motivate and encourage their aspirations.
Through my coaching I support and develop individuals to achieve their goals and realise their potential, resulting in optimal performance and improvement at work and in their personal lives. A coaching package usually lasts between six to eight sessions and focuses on specific skills and goals. Further sessions can then be arranged, if necessary.
“Coaching is a collaborative partnership between the coach and the coachee/client in a confidential, thought-provoking and creative process, with psychological depth. It is designed to develop and enhance the coachee’s professional, relational and personal potential in the realisation of their projects and to take their rightful place in the relationship they have with themselves, others and their environment.”
I firmly believe in the ability of the client to reach their potential. I don’t need to be an expert in the subject area, but instead I am skilled in the process of coaching, using primarily a non-directive approach within a structured conversation. I believe that:
I provide one-to-one support to individuals and to staff in the public, private and third sector. I adhere to the EMCC ethical framework.
I am a European Mentoring and Coaching Council Global (EMCC) accredited Master Coach.

“Trish is pleasant and energetic. In my experience, Trish captured the understanding of level of leadership coaching I was looking for. Certainly I would recommend Trish for Leadership Coaching sessions for hospital staff specially staff in managerial roles in clinical and non-clinical areas.” Dr S Sharma, Consultant Physician, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King’s Lynn, August 2021
“Trish made me think about the thought processes I go through and the relationships I have with different people – her approach was challenging but kind and impacted upon my work and wellbeing positively. I feel more confident I know what I am doing, my sense of wellbeing at work has improved, personal and team productivity has increased and internal and external relationships have improved.” Rachel Thorne, Headteacher, St Mary’s Church of England Primary School, West Sussex, June 2021.
“I wanted to achieve real clarity about how the role of an Exec Head is different to leading one school. Based on experiences I’ve seen/hear about I wanted to check out with my Coach how I can be effective. Both in a support and challenge role, whilst maintaining positive working relationships that benefit all stakeholders.
The biggest help was that I felt I could be totally honest without being judged. This experience allowed me to really think deeply, explore options and very quickly get the clarity that I needed. Although there were gaps between sessions my Coach was great at making the links between what had previously been discussed and what I was currently exploring/discussing. I also have a note book full of thoughts and options/strategies to refer back to.
It has been extremely positive and very beneficial. It has helped me really think about how I want to ‘behave’ as I move forward in my career. The coaching sessions also made me realise that I have the potential to explore other options in terms of my career too. I know more now, I feel more confident that I know what I am doing and I can do a better job. It’s also improved personal and team productivity and improved external relationships.” Zoe Beach, Headteacher, Northwood Primary School, July 2019.
“The quality of Trish as coach was instrumental in helping me to get a positive benefit from the sessions. She helped me to focus on the ‘big picture’ and talk about my way of working and career goals in a way I would not normally do. The outcome has been very positive, took me out of my ‘comfort zone’ and enabled me to be more reflective, particularly about my own motivations. It encouraged me to see where my actions and short-term plans fitted into my wider long-term goals. I feel more confident that I know what I’m doing, how I see certain things has changed and I have a clearer picture of the things I want and need to achieve in my role. I have found it a very helpful experience and am encouraged to continue.” Name supplied, Executive Headteacher, March 2019.
“Trish listened so attentively that I was able to just say what I was thinking without feeling judged. I was able to explore feelings, thoughts and emotions in a really safe environment. Trust is so important to me and I was able to trust implicitly in my sessions. I absolutely loved the experience of changing chairs and visualising my future. it gave me clarity and enabled me to set goals for my future. As a result, I know more, I can do a better job, I feel more confident that I know what I’m doing, my sense of wellbeing and engagement at work has improved. Also, how I see certain things has changed, I am in a different place and I feel completely different now. My output as increased, and internal and external relationships have improved.
Trish – thank you for being so attentive and demonstrating to me what a coach can help me to achieve, You were able to help me articulate what I actually want to do through the power of effective listening and giving me time to think. I can’t put a monetary value on what you have given me, just my eternal gratitude to you for being a great coach.” Maria Richardson, Named Nurse and Head of Safeguarding, Norfolk Community Health and Care, March 2019.
“Working with Trish has been fantastic, and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to accelerate their own development and understand what is holding them back. She is personable but challenging, insightful and highly emotionally intelligent, and knows good coaching inside-out.”
I have been able to process and reflect on some of the challenges I have faced with my team in the last 18 months in a way that built rather than undermined my confidence. There has been a cathartic element of this, allowing me to put things behind me, feel less frustrated and more secure in my role as a team manager and leader. I have a good body of notes to return to as needed as I know it sometimes take a long time for some changes to sink in and I have to re-visit them. There are things that are holding me back in my line management and team leadership and while they are not solved yet I know a) what the issue is and b) where is stems from – and so I know what underlying beliefs and behaviours I need to address.” Geoff Stevenson, Area Director, Ambition School Leadership, January 2019
