Clients usually describe me as someone whose calm and perceptive nature inspires them to think clearly, creatively and courageously.
I came to coaching and people development after a geospatial career in energy and environment related sectors, working in various leadership and consulting roles worldwide.
As a leader I always treated people like adults, enabling them to come up with their own solutions. As a consultant, clients often appreciated my human-centred approach. Joining the dots it began to dawn on me that coaching was in fact a natural way of being for me.
Fast-forward many years and I am practicing as a formally qualified coach and coaching supervisor, as well as facilitator, trainer and consultant.
My guiding philosophy is informed by solution-focused, systemic, client-centred, emergent, relational, existential and many other coaching approaches. I also take much inspiration and wisdom from nature, the arts, humanistic psychology, ancient philosophies, and my background in geosciences.
I am certified both as a coach and coaching supervisor at postgraduate Level 7 by the Institute of Leadership and Management and accredited as a Senior Practitioner with EMCC, one of the world’s largest coaching bodies. As such I engage in continuous professional development, receive supervision of my own, and subscribe to the Global Code of Ethics. With a PhD in geodesy I am also a longstanding Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (which incidentally provided an early intuitive grounding in exploratory and systemic approaches).
Based near Exeter in Devon, I am a lucky husband and proud father of two grown-up children who have established their own lives in nearby Cornwall. In my spare time you can find me enjoying the great outdoors, surfing, hillwalking and wild swimming all year round. Originally from Luxembourg, I am married to a Merseysider and made the UK my home some 20 years ago.
