Coaching for the person carrying the business — not just the business.
Performance psychology and executive coaching from a registered psychologist with thirty years of organisational experience, two published books on change, and a track record at executive level. In-person at Quakers Hill or online Australia-wide.
Who it's for
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 success 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 — and build deliberate, repeatable practices to 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.
- Leading change — drawing on my organisational change practice and my books The Change Manager's Companion and Remarkable Organisational Change Communications: lasting change requires understanding the system you're trying to change, then deliberate practice over grand gestures.
- Difficult conversations and conflict — staying steady and attuned when the stakes (and tempers) are high. Curious, not furious.
- Perfectionism, impostor syndrome and burnout — the high achiever's trio. I've experienced all three and coach them with zero judgement.
- Career crossroads — promotions, exits, succession, and the "what's next" question that arrives around mid-career.
How it runs
Engagements are typically structured as an initial conversation, a clear coaching agreement with goals, and a block of sessions (commonly six to ten) — in person at Quakers Hill, online, or a mix. 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.
As a registered psychologist, I bring evidence-based methods (ACT, CBT, attentional and emotional-intelligence frameworks) and the ethical standards of the profession — a meaningful difference in an unregulated coaching market.
