About Philip
You’re used to being the steady one.
The capable one.
The one others rely on.
From the outside, life still works. You’re functioning, delivering, holding things together.
But underneath, something doesn’t sit the way it used to.
You can feel that staying the same is starting to cost more than changing - even if you can’t yet explain why.
That’s the point many people arrive at before they find me.
I’ve spent the last two decades supporting people through moments like this, in leadership, in transition, and through chapters of my own.
Coaching became the natural extension of that work.
Supporting people through complex personal and professional chapters
When staying the same became harder than changing
I’ve spent the past two decades supporting people who carry a lot - responsibility, expectation, other people’s needs.
People who are functioning well on the surface. Delivering, leading, holding things together, but underneath, something no longer fits - not dramatically, just gradually.
A sense of being slightly out of rhythm with yourself, of moving forward while feeling further away from what actually matters.
I recognise those moments because I’ve lived them too. Not in the same way you have - your story is yours - but enough to understand the terrain.
I grew up in a home shaped by love, effort, and humour. My parents never pushed me to be extraordinary, they simply believed that I could be.
My career grew quickly - I led teams, delivered complex programmes, and learned how to carry responsibility with calm precision. From the outside, it looked like momentum, but inside, something quieter was happening. I was still performing well, still trusted, still progressing - but less connected to myself.
The more I achieved, the more distance I noticed between who I was becoming and what genuinely mattered to me.
Nothing was broken, but something essential was being neglected. It wasn’t a dramatic fall. It was a quiet realisation.
What followed for me was not reinvention, it was a return.
I found my way back to the things that ground me - time outdoors, steady mornings, walking without urgency, being present with the people I love.
Coaching became the natural expression of that return.
My work centres on presence, identity, emotional steadiness, and the courage it takes to live honestly.
Your Story
This is where your story meets the work.
If you are in a chapter of change, feeling slightly out of rhythm - you are not alone.
When you are ready, I am here to walk with you, steadily, while you hear yourself again.
The shape of my work
Most people don’t lack ability. They lack space.
This work begins by slowing things down enough for you to hear yourself again.
We reduce internal noise, untangle competing pressures, and create the conditions for clear thinking to return naturally.
Create Space for clear thinking
Understand what this season is asking of you
Change is rarely random.
Together, we explore what’s shifting beneath the surface - your identity, values, and emotional responses - so you can understand not just that things feel different, but why.
This is where insight replaces self-doubt.
Move forward with steadiness and intention
Insight only matters if it leads somewhere.
From that grounded place, we translate insight into aligned decisions - decisions you trust, actions that feel honest, and movement that reflects who you’re becoming, not who you used to be.
No performance. No pressure. Just forward motion that fits.
This isn’t about fixing what’s broken.
It’s about supporting what’s emerging.
If this resonates, the next step is simply a conversation with me.
Every conversation is different. Every season is personal.
It’s shaped by real conversations, real transitions, and the quiet shifts that emerge
when people are given time to think clearly.
A quieter way to begin
If you’re not ready for coaching, start here.
You don’t need to decide anything today.
If you know something is shifting, but you’re not ready for conversations or commitments, this is a softer place to begin.
No fixing. No pressure. Just a moment to slow down and notice what’s changing.
When it feels right, the next step is simply a conversation.
