What Is Coaching?
Coaching is a structured and collaborative process that helps individuals unlock their
potential, clarify their goals, and develop strategies to achieve them.
It is future-focused, solution-orientated, and designed to empower personal growth
and personal performance.
This is an excellent, simple definition which sets out what I strive to achieve with my healthcare professional clients.
In a coaching relationship, the coach provides a safe, confidential space where powerful questioning, active listening and reflection enable the client to gain self-awareness, build confidence, and take positive action.
“Coaching is unlocking people’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is
helping them to learn rather than teaching them.”
Sir John Whitmore

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book an initial healthcare coaching session in the West Midlands?
You can book a free consultation easily on this website. In this 30-minute session, we’ll discuss your needs, and I will tell you a little more about the coaching process that I can offer.
I will tailor the coaching offering to your specific needs.
If we are agreed that we can work together to achieve your goals, I will forward you a coaching agreement, and payment details to commence your coaching journey.
If you like the idea of obtaining my coaching sessions for an individual(s) in your organisation, please get in touch by booking a free consultation. Once we have discussed your needs, we can arrange agreements for the relevant parties (organisation, coachee(s) and myself).
What can I expect from my coaching session?
A coaching session usually lasts 60 minutes and is generally conducted online via Zoom. Face-face session in the West Midlands can be arranged and may be more appropriate for organisations.
You will have a safe, confidential space to explore your challenges, set clear goals, and work on strategies to improve your performance, resilience and wellbeing.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no prescriptive answer to this. The number of sessions depends on your goals. Some clients benefit from 3-4 focused sessions while others prefer longer-term support over 6-12 months.
During the initial consultation, we will create a personalised coaching plan that suits your needs.
Is healthcare coaching confidential?
Yes, all coaching sessions are completely confidential. This means you can openly discuss workplace challenges, career goals, or personal barriers in a safe environment without fear of judgement or professional risk.
How do I pay for a coaching session?
The fees that I charge for my coaching are under ‘Coaching Fees’.
Details of how payments are made will be given during the free consultation.
What is healthcare professional performance coaching?
Healthcare professional performance coaching is a tailored coaching service that supports doctors, nurses, pharmacists, allied healthcare professionals, and healthcare leaders to improve resilience, confidence, communication, and leadership skills.
It helps healthcare professionals manage stress, overcome workplace challenges, and achieve peak performance while maintaining work-life balance.
How can performance coaching benefit healthcare professionals in the NHS?
With the continual cuts in NHS organisations, change management and transformational leadership is essential to the delivery of NHS plans.
Performance coaching provides NHS and private healthcare professionals with practical tools to manage workload pressures, reduce burnout, improve patient communication, develop leadership skills, ad deliver change successfully.
It also supports career progression and personal wellbeing, helping staff to strive in demanding healthcare environments.
Who can benefit from healthcare coaching in the West Midlands?
Doctors, nurses, pharmacists, therapists, allied health professionals, and healthcare managers in the West Midlands can all benefit from coaching.
Whether you are newly qualified, seeking career progression, or experiencing workplace challenges, coaching provides structured support to help you succeed.
Organisations looking to develop their staff and/or to develop transformational changes will also benefit from my tailored coaching programme.
Can coaching help me progress in my healthcare career?
Absolutely. Coaching supports healthcare professionals in career planning, preparing for interviews, developing leadership skills, and building confidence.
Many clients use coaching to successfully move into senior roles or to transition into new healthcare career pathways.
What challenges can coaching help me overcome?
Coaching can help healthcare professionals overcome stress, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, time management difficulties, communication barriers, workplace conflict, and career uncertainty.
The aim is to build resilience, confidence, and clarity to move forward positively.
How is healthcare coaching different from mentoring and counselling?
Coaching is future-focused and solution-driven. The coach works with the client to develop goals and actions. The client owns those actions, and by having that buy-in, there is a greater chance of you achieving your goals.
Mentoring is based on advice from someone with more experience. With my wealth of healthcare experience, this will be useful.
However, coaching helps you to unlock your own potential and find personalised strategies.
Unlike counselling, coaching does not focus on past issues, but on setting and achieving professional and personal goals.
Do you only deal with healthcare professionals?
My main focus is working with healthcare professionals, but as you can see from the skills areas that I can help clients with (e.g. Stress Management, Communication Skills, Time Management etc.), these are areas that are not specific to healthcare, but applicable in all walks of life.
If you see something that you like and would be helpful to you, please schedule a free consultation to discuss.
