“Tom’s gentle but probing questions were just what I needed to get to the heart of the characters in my story, and to discover the best version of the story itself. His wealth of experience is clear, and makes him very sympathetic to the writer’s process. I shall certainly head to Tom every time I begin to feel myself getting lost with a script or story. Even one session with him could save me weeks of being stuck or months heading in the wrong direction.”

“I have been an executive coach for 30 years, and a trainer of coaches for 24 years. The processes, disciplines, skills and structures of coaching can all be taught. What cannot be taught is intelligence, insight, curiosity, positive attitude and creativity – and these are Tom’s unique coaching gifts. To be coached by Tom is to experience something close to a touching of souls – he has a wonderful ability to build a relationship of closeness and trust, that allows him to ask the toughest and most searching questions. It is almost impossible to avoid acquiring new and important insights through his coaching. Prepare to have your world changed for the better! And be prepared to enjoy the process – Tom has a mischievous and infectious sense of humour that adds energy and fun to his coaching.”
Writer and Coach
“I am an experienced consultant within the NHS and I have been mentored and coached by senior leaders over the years. Tom has a unique approach; he is an artful communicator which is accompanied by his grounding and containing presence. He managed to quickly get to the heart of the matter and with real acuity. This directness freed up my creativity instantly. I liked his deep understanding of words and how their nuance and inflection can impact on meaning. There is an alchemy to his coaching process that is powerful and energising. I would highly recommend him”

"My coaching session with Tom really helped me focus on the things that were stopping me from moving forward. His practice works very well. Having someone else tell you how to do something wouldn’t be that helpful, whereas helping you find your own answers to questions makes a lot of sense. I went home and used what we talked about to start on two new paintings and have now completed them."

"Tom is incredibly good at helping me to dig into the key obstacles and challenges in my working environment to unlock solutions and strategies to get to the next stage. He has a rare ability to strip back an issue to its bare bones and put it into perspective. He is my first port of call to solve difficult problems."
Telecoms Executive
"Tom’s coaching is already paying real and tangible dividends. I value Tom's collaborative, compassionate, creative, and positively challenging approach. He knows the right searching questions to ask to help me see things differently and achieve a deeper level of understanding, he helps me test my thinking and preconceptions - the stories I tell myself - he does not let me of the hook."
Fundraising Executive
"Tom helped guide my thinking around important (and likely difficult) decisions for my business. His broad experience, I believe, stands him in good stead to advise and direct across a broad range of challenges. I got a lot of value out of our sessions.​"
Managing Director
"Tom has been a huge support and mentor to me. He has been a big part of our recent growth as a company and is always available to discuss ideas and find solutions. He has guided me, delivered on what he has promised and always gone the extra mile to support our growth. I look forward to a future of mentorship and coaching by Tom and there is no limit to what I think we can achieve!"
