Executive Coaching

Executive Coaching London

The executive coaching offered at Harley Street is psychotherapy-informed. This distinction matters. Dr Jacquet trained in executive coaching at ESSEC Business School, ranked among Europe’s top ten business schools by the Financial Times. He has worked with senior executives, CEOs, barristers, politicians, and financiers across London and internationally.

What distinguishes coaching at this practice from conventional executive coaching is the depth of clinical background behind it. Performance problems in leadership are rarely purely technical. They are relational, psychological, and often rooted in patterns that go further back than the current role.

Who Executive Coaching Is For

– Senior executives and CEOs navigating strategic decisions
– Leaders experiencing performance difficulties or burnout
– Professionals at transition points — new roles, promotions, pivots
– High performers who want to work on the interior dimensions of leadership
– Executives managing teams with relational or cultural complexity
– Professionals in high-pressure environments: finance, law, medicine, politics

The Approach

Executive coaching sessions at Harley Street can take place at the practice address, at the client’s office, or online. Confidentiality is absolute — what happens in coaching sessions is not shared with employers, boards, or third parties without the client’s explicit consent.

The program is developed around the client’s specific goals. There is no fixed protocol. Some clients work on a specific challenge over a defined number of sessions. Others engage in longer-term coaching that evolves as the work deepens.

The coaching draws on psychological frameworks — attachment, identity, the Shadow in leadership, the role of early experience in professional patterns — without being therapy. The distinction is maintained clearly: coaching is forward-looking and goal-oriented; therapy addresses the clinical. Sometimes both are needed and can run in parallel.

Psychotherapy-Informed Leadership

The most effective leaders are not necessarily the most technically skilled. They are the ones who know themselves — who understand their relational patterns, their blind spots, their triggers, and the difference between the role they occupy and the person they are. Psychotherapy-informed coaching is built on this understanding.

A leader who has done interior work leads differently. Not better in every measurable sense immediately, but with more awareness, more consistency, and more capacity to hold complexity without reacting to it.
