Most senior leaders don't need more advice. They need somewhere to think.
By the time you're running an organisation — or building one from nothing — you are rarely short of people offering opinions. What's harder to find is an hour, with one person, where you can say the half-formed thought out loud and work out what you actually believe.
I coach senior leaders and entrepreneurs through the decisions that don't have clean answers: the strategic bet that's keeping you up at night, the co-founder conversation you keep postponing, the role that has quietly grown beyond the version of you who took it. Not a framework and not a playbook — a thinking partner who is genuinely on your side and entirely unimpressed by your job title.
I'm also an ADHD-trained coach. A meaningful number of the leaders I work with are neurodivergent — some formally diagnosed, some quietly wondering. If that's you, the work here will already fit: less emphasis on discipline and systems, more on building a way of operating that runs with your attention rather than against it.
Who I work with
- Founders and CEOs navigating growth, funding, succession or acquisition
- Senior executives stepping into a new role or at a crossroads
- Leaders in the middle of a transition they didn't choose
How it works
We start with weekly sessions for ten weeks — enough momentum to get somewhere real — then move to monthly once the thinking has traction. Sessions are online, so we work around your diary rather than your postcode.
From £130 per session. Where an employer or organisation is funding the coaching, the rate is £250 per session.
“Working with Georgia has been nothing short of transformational. I came to her feeling overwhelmed, facing some decisions on the next move. From our very first session, she created a space where I felt seen, understood and never judged. Her coaching didn't just give me strategies and support but helped me to recognise the benefits of my own styles and traits. It helped me understand myself. She helped me recognise my strengths and hold myself accountable for decisions that would work in a busy brain.
What makes Georgia different is her presence. She listens deeply, asks the kind of questions that shift something inside you and guides you to insights you didn't know you were capable of. I've gone from feeling stuck and reactive to feeling grounded, confident and genuinely excited about my future.
This coaching hasn't just improved my productivity, it's changed how I see myself.”

Frequently asked questions
What is executive coaching?
Executive coaching is a collaborative partnership that supports leaders in increasing awareness, improving performance and making intentional choices in their work and leadership.
Rather than giving advice, a coach helps clients:
- Clarify what they want
- Explore how they think and operate
- Identify actions aligned with their values and goals
At its core, coaching is about creating a space where leaders can think more clearly and act more intentionally.
How is executive coaching different from consulting or mentoring?
Executive coaching differs in one key way: the client owns the answers and the coach supports the process.
- A consultant gives solutions
- A mentor shares experience
- A coach asks questions, reflects and partners in discovery
In coaching, responsibility and authority remain with the client, not the coach.
Who is executive coaching for?
Executive coaching is typically for:
- Senior leaders and executives
- High-potential employees
- Entrepreneurs and business owners
- Managers transitioning into leadership roles
It's especially useful for people who want to:
- Lead more effectively
- Navigate change or complexity
- Grow self-awareness and impact
What kinds of topics can be addressed in coaching?
You set the agenda for each session. Common topics include:
- Leadership style and presence
- Decision-making and priorities
- Communication and relationships
- Managing stress or overwhelm
- Career direction and growth
- Confidence and self-trust
What happens in a typical coaching session?
A coaching session is a structured conversation with intention. Typically:
- You bring a focus or topic
- I listen deeply and ask questions
- The conversation creates new awareness
- You identify actions or next steps
The goal is not just insight, but movement and meaningful change.
How long does executive coaching last?
This varies depending on your goals. We start with weekly sessions for ten weeks, then move to monthly once the thinking has traction.
Most engagements run somewhere between three and twelve months overall. Some clients continue with ongoing coaching for sustained growth.
What results can I expect from executive coaching?
While outcomes differ, many clients experience:
- Increased self-awareness
- Clearer decision-making
- Greater confidence and alignment
- Improved leadership effectiveness
- More focused, purposeful action
Coaching supports both performance and personal growth, often at the same time.
Is coaching confidential?
Yes. Coaching is a confidential process, with clear agreements in place to protect your privacy and trust.
If coaching is sponsored by your organisation, the level of reporting is agreed upfront.
Does the coach give advice or tell me what to do?
Generally, no. Coaching is based on the belief that the client is creative, resourceful and whole.
Instead of advising, I help you:
- Access your own thinking
- Challenge assumptions
- Discover solutions that fit you
What makes coaching effective?
Coaching tends to be most effective when:
- You are willing to reflect and explore
- There is openness to change
- You take ownership of actions
A key ingredient is the quality of the coaching conversation, which creates space for insight and transformation.
How do I know if I'm ready for coaching?
You might be ready if:
- You want something to change or improve
- You feel stuck, unclear or stretched
- You are open to self-reflection
- You are willing to take action
Coaching often begins when someone recognises a gap between where they are and where they want to be.
What is the role of the coach compared with the client?
You set the agenda, choose your goals and actions and own the outcomes.
My role is to:
- Create a safe, non-judgemental space
- Listen, reflect and ask questions
- Support awareness and accountability
This partnership is central to effective coaching.
Can coaching help with performance issues?
Yes, but not by fixing you. Instead, coaching explores:
- What's getting in the way
- How you are thinking and operating
- What choices are available
This leads to more sustainable change than quick solutions.
How is progress measured in coaching?
Progress can be tracked through:
- Goal achievement
- Behavioural changes
- Increased clarity or confidence
- Feedback from stakeholders, in executive settings
Often the most meaningful shifts are internal first, then visible externally.
What should I look for in an executive coach?
Consider:
- Training and credentials
- Coaching approach and philosophy
- Ability to create trust and presence
- Fit with your style and needs
Most importantly: do you feel heard, challenged and supported?
What does it cost?
Prices start at £130 per session when you are paying for the coaching yourself. Where an employer or organisation is funding it, the rate is £250 per session, which reflects the additional contracting and invoicing involved.
Sessions are booked after a free discovery call, so you can decide whether it's right before committing to anything.
