I coach private clients, often working in the creative, media and entertainment sectors, who come to me directly for personal and business coaching. I use a variety of coaching tools to determine a client’s success factors – the coaching goals – then together we explore their personal and work ‘systems’, spotlighting strengths and re-framing any limiting beliefs. External barriers or challenges which might be inhibiting performance are equally addressed and then the work of designing positive actions begins.
Client confidentiality and overall discretion is always upheld during and beyond any coaching relationship.
Coaching sessions can be held in person, online video or by phone. Please drop me an email for more information on private individual coaching programmes and to arrange an initial, complimentary consultation and chemistry meeting.

Example individual coaching briefs:
“I have a great job at a senior level in an exciting media business but I fear I’m stagnating and not developing my career fast as I could be. I feel as though I’m being outperformed by my peers and would like a coach to help me explore my potential and progress my career.”
“My business has been growing successfully for 15 years, serving household name and global brands, but I know my experience and skillsets are now becoming outdated and I’m less certain I can lead my team from the front and meet our clients’ new set of needs.”
“I have recently been promoted to a senior role in a global media business. I’m pretty clear on my responsibilities and targets, but I have a ‘hands-off’ boss who gives me no feedback. So, I don’t know if I’m doing well and this is making me feel stressed and anxious which I’d like to address through coaching.”
“I have recently launched my own business and need a coach to help me create some order in my work processes. Everything feels like a massive priority and I’m not working effectively enough”
Tess’s approach and insight as a coach was fundamental in helping me see myself and my career in a fresh light. A combination of challenging questions, thoughtful processes and an open and positive conversation gave me the confidence and acumen required to set me on a new path.
Working with Tess as my coach helped me to create more balance and order in my life, to understand how better to manage a demanding job, whilst working into an equally demanding boss. The new perspective she helped me realise means I am now less stressed, more ‘ready’ for anything in my work life and much happier all round.
One to one coaching sessions with Tess at a tricky juncture in my career gave me firstly the clarity I needed to make some important decisions around my role and direction, and secondly the confidence and wherewithal to bring about the changes I needed to make.
