Life doesn’t come with a map. And the modern world can make it even harder for us to decide where we want to go, or how to get there.

But now you don’t have to tackle this journey alone. I help people navigate life so they can flourish – whoever they are and wherever they want to go. I also help leaders create the conditions for human flourishing – at work and in society.

Your support for life

I provide coaching, education, resources and events to professionals and private individuals to enable them to gain perspective on their lives and the world they live in, challenge the way they see things, and move towards more meaningful, authentic and considered lives.

My unique services are informed by a background in coaching, psychology, business and social change. I aim to support people on their journeys, and bring them together to inspire hope, curiosity and connection.

Elizabeth Holmes

I recommend Richard without hesitation. He has exemplary active listening and questioning skills which help to create the calm space in which to think and articulate with clarity. I experienced a family bereavement part way through my run of sessions, and Richard gave me the space I needed before gently recommencing sessions with the perfect level of challenge and encouragement. It is rare to find a work coach with such refined abilities, who can elicit insights from his clients that genuinely illuminate the path ahead.

David Murray

I’ve had the privilege of being supported by Richard Docwra as an executive coach, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His insight, empathy, and ability to challenge constructively have made a real difference to my leadership journey.

Chief Executive, Sustainability First

Richard Slade

Working with Richard has been genuinely transformative. His coaching has already made a real difference to how I approach both my personal and professional life. Through our conversations, he has helped me to see my personality in a new light — not just recognising where my strengths lie, but also understanding my weaknesses in a way that feels constructive rather than limiting.

Karen Gallagher

Richard’s coaching provided a much-needed space for reflection and insight. He skillfully guided me to recognise the signs of overwhelm and empowered me to develop a clear plan for prioritising my well-being, including taking essential time off.

Richard offers a unique combination of really being able to listen and meet people where they are at, whilst having great business acumen. He leads without ego and is an excellent executive coach. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Laura Larrett

It was wonderful to have some coaching sessions with Richard. His expertise in the charity sector is invaluable. He really helps you navigate your way around the challenges, which is especially helpful when the financial climate is so tough for fundraisers at the moment. Highly recommended.
