Executive Coaching

Executive Coaching in Central London

Executive coaching at the Central London practice is informed by the same dual background as the Harley Street offering: ESSEC Business School training in coaching (ESSEC is ranked among Europe’s top ten business schools by the Financial Times) and 25 years of clinical practice as an integrative psychotherapist and Jungian analyst. The combination makes available a depth of work that standard coaching does not provide.

What Coaching Here Addresses

The presenting issues that bring senior professionals to coaching at this practice tend to have a psychological dimension that surface-level coaching does not address. Burnout that returns despite changes to workload. Leadership effectiveness that stalls at a particular level. A pattern of sabotage or self-limitation at the threshold of significant advancement. The disorientation that accompanies sudden success or major transition. These require work that goes beneath strategy and skill.

The Jungian Dimension

Jungian concepts are particularly relevant in executive coaching: the tension between persona (the professional identity the leader presents) and authentic self; the shadow dimensions of leadership (the disowned qualities that return as blind spots or destructive patterns); the question of vocation versus role. These are not abstract concerns — they manifest in concrete leadership behaviour and organisational dynamics.

Format and Logistics

Coaching engagements are individually structured. They may combine in-person sessions at Central London with online sessions, and may run alongside individual psychotherapy work or independently. An initial conversation will establish what the person needs and what an appropriate engagement would look like.

Confidentiality

All coaching work is conducted with absolute confidentiality. No information is shared with employers or third parties without explicit consent.
