About
Hi, I'm Roy
I'm really glad you're here!
For over 20 years, my career has been dedicated to helping individuals, teams, and organisations build genuine confidence, resilience, and connection. With my coaching, there’s no clinical scripts. My belief is in the people I work with.
My approach combines a deep background in pastoral school leadership, behaviour management, theatre work, and youth charity operations, blended with professional coaching. Whether you are a parent looking to support a struggling child or teen, an educator facing burnout, or an organisation wanting to engage your frontline staff, we look at the big picture together.
Rooted in empathy, driven by experience, dedicated to helping you thrive!
My Approach
I take a person-centred, humanistic approach to coaching. This isn’t about fixing you or telling you what to do. It’s about creating a safe, supportive space to understand yourself more fully, recognise your strengths, and build the confidence to take meaningful action.
Meeting you where you are
Whether you’re navigating emotional overwhelm, struggling with confidence, feeling stuck, or trying to make sense of challenging behaviours, I’ll meet you exactly where you are without judgement, labels, or assumptions. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts, feelings, and experiences shaping your current situation and identify practical ways forward.
Growth beyond comfort
My coaching blends conversation, creativity, and deep listening, drawing on over 20 years of experience in education and behaviour support. While I will always bring compassion, warmth, and curiosity to our sessions, expect me to challenge you too. Growth happens just beyond the edge of what’s comfortable. Think of it as compassionate coaching with a kind kick.

Experience and Qualifications
My career spans two decades across education, youth work, local authorities, charity management, and theatre. I have a deep, practical understanding of the complex challenges children, families, and professionals face daily.
Beyond my private coaching practice, I currnetly serve as Education Manager for Justice in Motion, developing national educational resources and workshops tackling high-stakes youth safety issues. Previously I have saved dormant youth charities, co-ordinated teams of staff and volunteers nationally, and self-produced theatre from concept to delivery. In recognition of my work with children and young people, I was honoured to receive the High Sheriff of Oxfordshire Award.
