Coaching for the person carrying the business, not just the business
Confidential, evidence-based coaching from a registered psychologist with thirty years of organisational experience, including many years leading change. Online Australia-wide, or in person by arrangement.
High-functioning is not the same as flourishing
Executives, business owners and senior professionals come to coaching for different reasons: a leadership role that has outgrown old habits, perfectionism that's costing more than it earns, conflict in the leadership team, a hard decision that needs an impartial sparring partner, or the quiet realisation that the formula that got you here won't get you there.
Coaching psychology differs from mentoring or consulting. I won't tell you how to run your business. I will help you see the patterns in how you think, decide, react and lead. Then we build simple, repeatable practices, so you can perform under pressure without burning out the person underneath the title.
What we work on
Performance under pressure
Attention control, energy management, and pre-performance routines borrowed from sport and performance psychology. Manage your intensity and energy, not just your time.
Leading change
Drawing on decades of organisational change practice and two published books: lasting change means understanding the system you're changing, then deliberate practice over grand gestures.
Difficult conversations
Staying steady and attuned when the stakes are high and tempers run hot. Curious, not furious.
Perfectionism, impostor syndrome & burnout
The high achiever's trio. I've experienced all three, and coach them with zero judgement.
Career crossroads
Promotions, exits, succession, and the question of what comes next that tends to turn up around mid-career.
Leadership team dynamics
Conflict, trust and communication patterns at the top table, and how to shift them without a restructure.
Structured, confidential, measurable
Engagements typically follow a simple arc:
- An initial conversation, with no obligation, to see whether we are a fit and what you want from coaching.
- A clear coaching agreement: goals, cadence, and how we will know it is working.
- A block of sessions, commonly six to ten, online or a mix of formats.
For organisations engaging coaching for their leaders, outcomes and confidentiality boundaries are agreed up front: what's discussed in the room stays in the room.
Why a psychologist matters
Coaching is an unregulated market, and anyone can call themselves a coach. As a registered psychologist I bring evidence-based methods (ACT, CBT, attentional and emotional-intelligence frameworks) and the ethical standards of a regulated profession.
That means real confidentiality, real methods, and a duty of care that goes beyond a certificate.
Fees
Provided on enquiry, as they depend on format and length of engagement. Corporate invoicing is available.
