WHO I WORK WITH

I work with professionals, executives, business leaders and people working in demanding or high-pressure environments.  Some clients come because they are experiencing stress, anxiety, poor sleep or low confidence. Others want to develop further, manage a transition or perform more effectively.

The Wingman Project has a particular focus on men's mental fitness, but my City practice isn't exclusively for men. I work with both men and women who feel my experience and approach are right for them.

In-person or online

All sessions are available online across the UK as well as in person in the City of London and Theydon Bois, near Epping in Essex via the Central line.

HOW IT WORKS

Everything starts with a free initial consultation to understand what has brought you here, what you'd like to achieve and what success would look like for you.  Sessions are typically 50 minutes, practical and forward-looking. We'll use an understanding of neuroscience to explore why you might think, feel or behave as you do, how patterns develop and what can help you change them. You'll also have practical tools and things to work on between sessions to help build on the progress we make together.

Depending on what you want to achieve, our work can draw on a combination of coaching and solution focused hypnotherapy, alongside the practical neuroscience. Where hypnotherapy forms part of the approach, sessions will include therapeutic trance to support the work we do together.  The approach is tailored to you, rather than assuming the same method is right for everyone.

How I can help


Executive Coaching

One-to-one coaching for leaders, executives and professionals who want to develop themselves and their performance.

Areas we might work on include:

  • Leadership confidence
  • Strategy and decision making
  • Influence and communication
  • Imposter feelings and self-belief
  • Managing pressure and resilience
  • Career transition
  • Purpose and direction
  • Work and life balance


Mental Fitness & Performance

You don't need to be struggling to benefit from working on your mental fitness.

I work with people who want to better understand themselves, build confidence and resilience, manage pressure more effectively and perform at their best when it matters.

This can include:

  • Confidence
  • Managing pressure
  • Focus
  • Resilience
  • Mental preparation
  • Decision making
  • Relationships
  • Career and life transitions


Solution Focused Hypnotherapy

For some people, the starting point isn't professional development or performance. Something is getting in the way.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help with areas including:

  • Stress and anxiety
  • Sleep
  • Low mood
  • Confidence
  • Phobias and fears
  • Addictions
  • Smoking
  • Unhelpful patterns of thought or behaviour

The approach combines practical neuroscience and solution-focused techniques with therapeutic trance, helping you understand how the brain responds to stress and develops patterns, while focusing on the changes you want to make.


In-person sessions near Bank

In-person sessions are available from my City of London practice near Bank.

The location is convenient for people working in and around the City of London.

Daytime and evening appointments are available on selected days, with online sessions also available for clients who prefer to work remotely.


Who I work with

I work with professionals, executives, business leaders and people working in demanding or high-pressure environments.

My background means I have a particular understanding of senior leadership and commercial environments. I spent more than 30 years in business before establishing The Wingman Project, including more than 20 years in senior leadership roles.

The Wingman Project has a particular focus on men's mental fitness, but my City practice isn't exclusively for men. I work with both men and women who feel my experience and approach are right for them.

Some clients come because something is getting in the way, such as stress, anxiety, poor sleep or low confidence. Others are doing well but want to develop further, navigate a transition or perform more effectively under pressure.


Working with organisations

I also work with organisations looking to support and develop their people, strengthen leadership and improve mental fitness and performance.

My organisational work includes:

  • Executive Coaching for leaders and senior professionals
  • Men's Mental Fitness Programmes for organisations looking to better support and develop their male employees
  • Workshops & Speaking on topics including Understanding Your Brain, The Science of Confidence, Mental Fitness Under Pressure, Leadership Under Pressure and High Performance Without Burnout

Programmes can be delivered in person in London or online across the UK, and can be tailored to the needs of the organisation and its people.


What happens

Everything begins with a free initial consultation to understand what has brought you here, what you'd like to achieve and whether I'm the right person to help.

We'll discuss your circumstances, objectives and what might be most useful. Depending on what you want to achieve, our work might involve coaching, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, neuroscience and practical approaches to mental fitness and performance.

There is no obligation to work together after the initial consultation. If we decide to continue, we'll agree an approach based on what you'd like to achieve.


Frequently asked questions


Where is your City of London practice?

I work from a private practice near Bank in the City of London, conveniently located for people working around Bank, Monument, Liverpool Street, Moorgate and close for people working on the South Bank or more centrally.

The location is less than a 5 minute walk from Bank Station.


Is executive coaching only for senior executives?

No. I work with established leaders as well as people stepping into greater responsibility or navigating an important stage in their career.

Executive coaching can be useful for developing confidence, leadership capability, decision making and influence, managing pressure or simply creating the space to think more clearly about what comes next.


Do you only work with men?

No. The Wingman Project has a particular focus on men's mental fitness, but I work with both men and women.


Do I need to be struggling with my mental health?

No. Mental fitness isn't only about addressing difficulties.

People also work with me to build confidence, develop as a leader, manage pressure, make better decisions, navigate change or improve their performance.


What's the difference between coaching and Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?

Coaching is generally focused on development, objectives, choices and action, while Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can be particularly useful when stress, anxiety, unhelpful patterns or other difficulties are getting in the way.

There can also be considerable overlap. Where appropriate, I draw on coaching, neuroscience and Solution Focused Hypnotherapy rather than assuming one approach is right for everyone.


Can my organisation pay for executive coaching?

Yes. I work with organisations as well as individuals and can provide executive coaching funded by an employer.

Where an organisation is involved, objectives and measures of progress can be agreed at the outset while maintaining appropriate confidentiality around individual coaching conversations.

Can sessions be online?

Yes. Coaching and Solution Focused Hypnotherapy sessions are available online across the UK as well as in person in the City of London and Theydon Bois, near Epping in Essex.
