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.

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.

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. Richard has a way of asking the right questions and offering insights that stay with you long after the session ends. He has also shared practical tools and strategies that I’ve been able to put into practice straight away, which have given me more confidence and clarity in how I deal with challenges. I can already feel the positive impact of this work, and I know it will continue to grow as our coaching progresses.

Richard provided me with coaching support while I was going through a particularly challenging time in launching my business. His coaching helped me to reflect on challenging situations and find solutions to the problems. I would definitely recommend Richard to anyone looking for coaching support in progressing through challenges in their lives. Thank you Richard!

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.
