Book your free 30-minute call
A free, no-obligation phone call to talk through what’s going on and whether coaching with me is the right next step.
What the call covers
- What you want to change, and what has got in the way so far.
- Whether coaching is the right tool. If therapy or your GP would serve you better, I’ll say so.
- How I would approach it, how many sessions it might take, and the fees.
- Any questions you have about me, the format or confidentiality.
You don’t need to prepare. If it helps, think about what you’d like to be different, how long it has been going on and what you’ve already tried.
Why 30 minutes
Thirty minutes is long enough for me to understand what’s going on and to tell you plainly how I’d approach it. It fits into a lunch break or the start of a working day, and having the call doesn’t commit you to anything. If your days are full, say so in the form and I’ll find an early or late slot.
Who the call is for
The call suits anyone thinking about coaching with me, whether you know exactly what you want to change or only know that something isn’t working. Executives, company owners, professionals, people in a life transition and international clients all start here.
What I’ll ask you
I’ll ask what’s happening now, how long it has been going on, what you’ve tried, and what you’d like to be different in three months. I may ask about sleep, stress or health if they seem relevant. You don’t have to answer anything you’d rather not.
What the call isn’t
It isn’t a coaching session, and I won’t try to fix the problem in half an hour. It isn’t an assessment or a diagnosis either. It is a straightforward conversation so that both of us can judge whether working together makes sense, and so you know exactly what you’d be paying for before you decide. If you have questions after the call, email or text me; asking them costs nothing either.
Confidentiality
What you tell me on the call stays between us. I don’t share it, record it or add you to a mailing list.
If coaching isn’t the answer
Sometimes what someone describes needs a GP, a therapist or a specialist service first. Because I also practise as a therapist, I can explain the options in plain English and point you in the right direction. If you’re in crisis now, call 999, NHS 111 (option 2) or Samaritans on 116 123.
Prefer to call?
Ring or text me on 07825 599 340, Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 18:30. Weekends by arrangement. From abroad, dial +44 7825 599 340.
After the call
If you decide to go ahead, I’ll send you dates for a first session at 1 Harley Street, in Edgbaston or online, along with the payment details. If you’d like time to think, take it. There is no follow-up pressure.

Questions
Is the call really free?
Yes. It costs nothing, and there’s no obligation to book anything afterwards.
Is it a sales call?
No. The call is there to work out whether coaching with me fits your problem. If it doesn’t, I’ll tell you, and I won’t chase you afterwards.
Do I need to know what I want to work on?
No. Plenty of people start the call with ‘something isn’t working and I can’t say what’. Working that out is part of the call.
How soon will I hear back?
I reply within 24 hours, by phone or by email if you asked for that, to arrange a time for the call.
What if I live outside the UK?
That’s fine. I coach clients online across Europe, the Middle East, the USA and India. Give me your time zone and I’ll call at a time that works for you.
