Ive loved working with Michael. I felt like I’d lost myself and didn’t feel confident. After only a few weeks i started to think more positively and changed my attitude to “just do it” rather than dwelling and holding back. Michael challenged my thought process and along with his knowledge, easy manner and motivation has helped me become a happier more confident person. More...

I connected with Michael through Bark and he very quickly offered a consultation call. Off the back of that I signed up for a 6 session package.
Originally I contacted Michael to get some clarity and focus on my life goals but as we began our sessions I went through a very stressful transition into a new job, as well as a frantic house purchase. Michael coached me into detaching from these experiences and evaluate the best and worst case scenarios so I could successfully navigate them.
We also spent some time loosely defining some life goals and Michael coached me into taking some starting actions that I'd been putting off for quite a while, as well as helping me figure out some use life hacks to make my day run a bit smoother.
Michael is a really excellent listener who gives you space to reach the end of your train of thought, then helps you turn that into a tangible insight or action.
Thanks for everything so far Michael :)

Michael was a fantastic help and support during a difficult time. He helped me to develop clear actionable items for myself and helped me to establish a framework to deal with my negative thoughts. He is thoughtful, considerate and calm. He knows how to direct but also gives you the time and space to explore your own thoughts and feelings. I highly recommend using Michael for anyone who needs professional and personal help. More...

Michael is a great coach. He has an extremely well developed sense of empathy that ensures you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. He has an uncanny ability to subtly guide you to the ways in which you can achieve your hopes and dreams. I have worked with other professionals within this field, but none match the calibre of Michael’s personality and approach. If you feel adrift, like you’ve lost sight of what you want from your life, then Michael is the coach to help you back on track. More...

Working with Michael was enlightening! He’s a lovely person and an exceptional life coach. The sessions are led by you but Michaels experience and knowledge is invaluable!
I am a better version of myself because of his help and guidance. I cannot recommend him enough to anyone who wants personal growth and development.
Thank you Michael at Leap Coaching, someone I hope to have a partnership with for a very long time.

Life Coaching
I got in touch with Mike a few months ago after feeling like I was "flailing" in most aspects of my life. I felt like I probably knew what to do but for some reason couldn't "get there" like I used to.
I felt that I literally needed "coaching" and someone to help me improve my "path" and help keep me on track. Mike has certainly done this and his approach has been perfect for me!
It's easy to talk with Mike. He's very understanding and non-judgemental and he guides and encourages me without being "pushy". Mike clearly has years of experience in dealing with different situations / people / methods of self-improvement.
I feel like he genuinely cares for his clients and their progress.
I'm only human and I do slip but Mike helps me get back on track. I'm absolutely in a better place in many ways than I was a few months ago!
I have already recommended Mike to a few friends / colleagues. I'd definitely recommend trying at least one session to see if this is what you need and highly recommend Mike!

Worked with Michael for a bit now. He's been extremely helpful in making myself more targeted in what I'm aiming for to prevent myself getting overwhelmed. Very friendly and great to talk to about any concerns or issues I'm having. Definitely recommend him to others. More...

Working with Michael was easy. He is understanding, listens well and offers relevant ideas that really help to move forward and achieve. Highly recommend him as a coach.
What do you love most about your job?
I love seeing people achieve, succeed and thrive quite often from a place when they were down on themselves and didn't believe that they could.
It's fabulous to see people reconnect with who they are and become the person that they want to be.
I also love that I get to meet people from all over the world, with a myriad of backgrounds and occupations. Every day is a school day, there is always something to learn.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I'd been a coach, mentor, and trainer in my various corporate roles and loved it, there is nothing better than seeing get the breakthrough that they need to succeed and get to the next stage post in their life.
When I took voluntary redundancy it was the most logical - and slightly scary - thing to do. It was an opportunity to test all of the things I learned for myself.
I too took 'The Leap' and never looked back. My business is very different from when I first started but then so am I and so are the people I coach.
Why should our clients choose you?

Life Coaching
Fundamentally life coaching is about helping you to point your compass in the right direction, to get you from one place to another.
This unfolds as a thought provoking conversation which should gently challenge your thinking and encourage the creation of new perspectives.
The conversation should keep you moving forward and support you to shape and lead a more fulfilling life.
Life coaching is not therapy or counselling.
Business & Career Coaching
Supporting you with your business and professional goals whether you are employed, self-employed or looking to start your own business.
Coaching can help with career challenges and identifying obstacles to help you overcome them in a structured way to bring about positive change and growth.
How you could work with me
My aim is to enhance your life gradually. Our sessions focus on you—your experiences, feelings, and beliefs.
Your commitment to change has already begun, and this journey continues here. I firmly believe in you and that you possess the ability to transform your life, and coaching can be a catalyst for that change.
I look for five attributes in a potential client: you must be inspiring, you must be making or be ready to make an impact, you must be fun, you must be committed, and you must be ready to be challenged and to challenge me as your coach.
As your Coach, I listen not just to your words but to the emotions behind them, helping you "see" and understand yourself better.
Over time, you'll learn to align your life with what truly matters, discovering your authentic self and living congruently.
Throughout this process, you'll explore:
• Your true self beyond your societal roles.
• Your desired identity.
• Your passions.
• Your goals for the journey ahead.
This empowering self-exploration unlocks your potential, providing you with the confidence to make choices that align with your values. Each session involves creating actionable steps, and, where appropriate, I'll share strategies to boost your confidence, manage stress, and create a more harmonious life.
I don't dictate; I support, encourage, challenge, and motivate you to find the answers within yourself.
Having my own Coach allows me to experience the benefits firsthand, keeping me on track and inspiring constant improvement in both me and the coaching I provide to you.
Everyone possesses the ability to transform their life, and coaching can be a catalyst for that change.
Let’s work together, to cultivate the awareness you need to progress toward a more fulfilling life.
