I was searching for something but didn't know quiet what, I was wanting something but wasn't quite sure what this could be. I came across Chris’s professional website and found the navigation across it effortless with some interesting and succinct nuggets of information that were appealing and insightful. I arranged 6 sessions with Chris, we explored both personal and professional domains of the self. The findings were remarkable all teased out and expertly executed by Chris. Like driving I’d picked up a number of bad habits over the years, fortunately Chris was able to apply a degree of NLP giving me the opportunity to both look at (and change) my thought processing and behavior, allowing me to be more positive in my decision making, and acted out self-behavior. I feel I now have a few extra strings to my bow for coping with work and life challenges, which have brought about a degree of positivity – remarkable! I cannot recommend Chris anymore highly.

I'd absolutely recommend Chris. Sometimes getting a 'professional outsider' to work through barriers and solutions can be just the thing you need to get you back on top of things. Incredibly helpful.

I can honestly say that without Chris’s coaching I would still be nearly at the end of my Coaching Diploma. Having struggled with the work for over three years, with his support I was able to push through to completion in three months, resulting in finally sending the paperwork off on the morning of my birthday allowing for a double celebration.
His calm and measured coaching style worked well for me and helped me define clear milestones, activities and actions combined with enabling me see the benefits of completing the work and to envision how it would feel to bring the project to a close.
I began to see that by setting clear time-bound actions I was able to complete work without feeling under pressure and with Chris walking at my side I actually felt good about the work.
Once again thank you Chris for all your support. You are a great coach and deserve huge success, which, I’m sure is inevitable

I found the sessions I had with Chris extremely useful at a time in my life where there was a lot of uncertainty and upheaval.
After being made redundant and wanting to make significant changes to the direction of my career, Chris really helped me to identify and focus on individual tasks that would ultimately help to land me a job in the field I wanted and also to make changes I felt I needed in my personal life.
Over the sessions, we worked on identifying my long term goals and then individual goals along the way that would lead me to a place of personal stability.
As a result of the sessions with Chris, I feel a lot more confident in myself and my abilities. My approach to career progression has changed where I now identify the goal first and then think about what steps I need to make to get there. I've already made steps up the "ladder" in my new role because of this.
Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with and has definitely made me see the value in coaching sessions. I will be looking into more sessions in the future

I cannot rate Chris highly enough for the help that he has given me in many areas of my life. I went to see Chris for help with my anxiety problems. I was expecting to gain some useful techniques to help me during stressful situations. What I didn’t expect was the total transformation that occurred in me after just six sessions. Chris was able to identify my trigger points, and work on these using NLP. Chris made sure that I was comfortable at every stage, and even created a safe trigger point that I could use should I become overwhelmed. We worked through a variety of NLP exercises, each one being different, and dare I say fun at times too. What amazed me the most was that after the sessions the positive results continued to develop in my mind. Chris was always available for me should I have questions, need support or even just to chat to about my progress and well being out of session time. I have tried many therapies and have seen numerous practitioners in the past, but I can honestly say that none have come close to the experience and results that I obtained with Chris. His professionalism along with ability to made you feel at ease is very commendable. There is no doubt that he genuinely cares, which goes a long way to help when initially feeling vulnerable. We even got to move on to other issues like my fear of heights, as the progress around my anxiety was so quick. I would happily recommend Chris to anyone. He is even a qualified Life Coach, so I will definitely be returning to see him to help me on my future career plans. More...

I would really recommend him as a coach. More...

I engaged Chris's professional life coaching services in 2016. I had experienced life coaching before but found Chris's approach to be the most effective. He tailors his tools and methods to the individual rather than a 'one size fits all' approach. His guidance and encouragement helped me create an action plan, which was both straightforward and not scary to implement, and had a hugely positive impact on shaping my professional way forward. I heartily recommend Chris to anyone searching for support in finding their next step forward, whether big or small. Chris can help you get there! More...

What do you love most about your job?
I love my job because every day I get to help people make positive changes in their lives. To me it's a real privilege to work side by side with someone as they make important discoveries about themselves, work out what they want from their life or career and realise they are capable of much more than they thought they could do. The buzz that every client gets from each session is infectious. It makes me feel as amazing as they do!
I've made it my mission is to elevate self-improvement so that striving to achieve your potential is normal for everyone. Lots of people hire personal trainers to get a better body, but they never invest in their personal development. I want more people to have the courage to open their minds to new opportunities, embrace change, make better choices and believe in their abilities.
My philosophy is that all aspects of life are important. Whether it’s your career, relationships, family, friends, health, fitness, education or interests. They all play a part in how you feel about life. We need to focus on all of these areas in order to be happy, which I called my business Life Complete. I looked at my own life and made big changes to create the life I want. My passion is to help other people do the same.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I reached a point in my career when I decided that I wanted greater flexibility and to be in charge of my own destiny and schedule. I had been through a number of career changes, ending up as Operations Director for a fast growing small business. I learnt so much through every career change, but it felt like every time I progressed up the career ladder I was moving further away from my values.
What motivates me the most is to help other people achieve their potential, regardless of what they are striving to achieve. So I decided to retrain as a coach, set up my own business and make it my mission to help people live the life they are looking for.
Why should our clients choose you?
In order to achieve the life I enjoy right now, I had to go through a lot of changes along the way - in terms of personal development, lifestyle and my career.
I understand what it is like to get stuck in a rut and feel like you are struggling for direction - but I also know how to get through it because I have done it myself.
My clients find that I challenge and inspire them to do things they never though were possible. As well as being challenging, I'm also very supportive and friendly and I like to make sessions fun for clients too.
You are making an investment in yourself, which is an amazing thing to do. Whatever you want to do, providing you are committed to your success, I can help you get there.
Life Coach
Life coaching is all about helping you reach your potential – becoming the best version of yourself. The person you always wanted to be, who is happy, in control and doing all the things you want to do. Whatever they are. In the process you’ll understand yourself better and learn how to feel motivated to achieve goals in any area of your life.
As your life coach, I will help you become more focused and self-aware and set the rights goals to achieve the outcome you are looking for.
Coaching will help you work out exactly what you want from life and help you get there a lot faster than working by yourself. In the process you will feel more confident, happier and better able to take control of what you need to do in order to be living the life you want.
Working with me as your personal life coach, I can also help you overcome some of the barriers – or limiting beliefs – that have so far held you back. Areas such as confidence, motivation, self-belief and anxiety. Using Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) I can also help you move past phobias and resolve feelings about events from the past that are affecting you now.
I always tailor my life coaching programmes to help you achieve your individual goals and I can coach you to accomplish any outcome. Here are some of the areas that I typically work with people on:
Career and Executive Coaching:
- Working out what career is right for you – what you’re doing now or something new
- Managing career change and development
- Setting up and developing your own business
- Better time management to become more productive at work
- Developing your confidence and business skills to reach your potential
Designing Your Life
- Identifying your life purpose – what you want to do with your life
- Working out what makes you feel happy and fulfilled – and how to achieve it
- Using your time better so you can do all the things you want to
- Establishing productive and resourceful morning and evening routines to be more productive and do more every day
- Beating procrastination and establishing positive, consistent habits
Living Authentically

- Living mindfully to enjoy your life every day

Relationships

- Building bridges and rekindling the love between you and your partner
- Being more assertive and confidence building for difficult decisions
- Resourceful habits for dating and enjoying sex again
- Understanding and feeling confident and comfortable with your sexuality
Career Coach
Career coaching and executive coaching is all about taking control of your career, so that it works for you – rather than the other way around. So many people drift through their career without any plan for what they want to achieve during their working life, and therefore have no strategy to get there.
Working with a career coach is a pro-active way to take back the reins so that you are making the right decisions and feel in charge of your destiny, equipped with the skills and confidence to achieve what you want to do.
There are lots of different reasons why people choose to work with me as their career consultant. Here are some of the most common signs you need career coaching:
- Not happy in your job, feel stuck and don’t know what to do next
- You’d like to change career or find a new challenge– but you’re not sure what or how to do it
- Feels like you have no work-life balance and your career is negatively impacting on your personal or family life
- Seems like your career has plateaued and you are stuck in a rut
- Lack of confidence in your abilities is holding you back from what you want to do
- You would like to set up your own business, but don’t know where to start
- Feeling anxious or stressed, experiencing procrastinating and lost your motivation for work
- Not in employment and you’re looking for a new strategy to find a job
- Job hunting but your search is not focused and you’re making no real progress
Career or executive coaching is right for you if you’re looking to put a strategy in place for the career you want to achieve. Whether you’re looking to make changes across your whole life or need help with personal development to take your existing career to the next level, I will work you to reach your career goals.
Here are some of the areas I typically work with people on:
Career Transition, Executive Coaching and Professional Development:
- Exploring values and wider life goals to find the right career
- Working out what you want to do next in your career and putting in place a strategy to achieve it
- Overcoming procrastination, lack of motivation and work related stress
- Managing conflict and your emotions to be more effective and resilient at work
- Improving confidence and personal skills to enhance career development e.g. interviews, presentation skills, time management, leadership
- Resolving conflict and developing and improving relationships with colleagues and clients.
Breaking free from the corporate world to set up your own business
- Small Business Owners and Freelancers
- Developing your business to achieve defined life and career goals
- Overcoming procrastination and ‘freelancer blues’ and increasing your personal productivity
- Managing your wellbeing to stay focused and motivated for success
- Targeted marketing, online and social media strategy to grow your business
My role as a career coach is to help my clients explore what they want from life and career and work side by side to support and motivate them to achieve it. Coaching goes beyond career advice, which is more centre on help choosing a career. My job isn’t to tell you what to do, it is to help you understand yourself better and gain clarity over what you want from your career. The work we do together is creative and will help you overcome the things that have stopped you before.
You’ll have a plan and a strategy to achieve your career goals and I’ll support you to accomplish them.
