I had no previous experience with coaching. Ben helped me to say out loud problems, assess how much they affect different aspect of my life and to try come to solutions (work in progress :o)
I would highly recommend Ben
Maeve Lalor
Ben is a wonderful coach. His kind, thoughtful, supportive approach has been very helpful for me as I think about the next steps in my career. I’ve really enjoyed being part of his group coaching sessions, where Ben skilfully facilitates us learning from each other, and offering perfectly timed questions or reflections to guide us. I would recommend working with Ben. More...
Dan Crossley (Food Ethics Council)
Ben has been a fantastic coach - bringing a calmness and gentle approach that is very powerful. He asks the right questions at the right time - and has really helped me think about what's important to me and what I can do about that. The group coaching he facilitated that I was involved in was excellent. Ben quickly created a safe space for us to support each other. I have no hesitation in strongly recommending Ben More...

Coaching from Ben is like discussing your successes and challenges and with the kind of friend we all really need. Someone who will identify the positive and encourage you but also be realistic, call out and challenge you. I left each session with a better understanding of how I could improve both work and personal life and the tools to put those learnings into practice More...
What do you love most about your job?
Communicating and connecting with people in a meaningful way that makes a difference to both our lives.
I am really grateful to be paid for something I enjoy doing.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I want to make the world a more caring, loving place. I did that at a renewable energy company, charities and through volunteering. Over the space of 3 or 4 years it dawned on me that I love working directly with people, without managerial layers or bureaucratic restrictions. It became obvious that moving into coaching was almost inevitable and working freelance the best way for me to work.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients tell me that I bring a calm and grounded presence to my coaching. I welcome humour, sorrow, joy and every other aspect of our mutual humanity into our conversations and love listening. Don't worry, I also love asking questions and challenging you if necessary.
Ultimately, once you've checked out the profiles of coaches who have approached you, I'd suggest following your instincts to choose the coach you're most drawn to. Good luck on the journey you're about to start :-)
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I am happy to work on Zoom, Skype, or any other video calling platform you wish. I was coaching remotely before Covid-19 so I'm all set.
I am also comfortable coaching on the phone and some people prefer the lack of visual stimulus.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Much more online coaching, meeting outdoors, and generally following guidelines and rules as they change. Often being more cautious than the requirements in place at the time.
