Coaching

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Something's blocking you. You're not sure what. I offer you a place to work it through.

My background:

I spent 25 years managing security risks in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia — large teams, hostile environments, decisions that affected people's lives.

I've been through it myself — divorce, redundancy, living and working across cultures, life transition.

Now I coach, write, and run retreats in Tuscany.

Who I work with:

People at a crossroads. A career that no longer fits. A life that looks fine from the outside and feels wrong from the inside. A decision that keeps getting deferred. A transition that needs a thinking partner.

Most of my clients are professionals navigating significant change — redundancy, reinvention, a move, a relationship, a question they can't stop asking themselves.

Get clear what you want and find the strength to move through whatever's in the way.

I've helped clients with:

— Career change and redundancy
— Finding direction and setting goals
— Burnout and overwhelm
— Procrastination and habit change
— Relationships and friendship dynamics
— Relocating and starting over
— Navigating life after loss
— Crisis. Not knowing where to turn

What we work on:

1.  Clarity: Define what you want.

2.  Resilience: Find the strength to make real change.

3.  Momentum: Turn paralysis into movement.

Testimonials

”Charlie gave me the space to feel understood, seen and validated — and the insight to recognise tools I can use to cope with obstacles and find solutions in the future. The listening and feedback were exactly what I needed.”

Mae. UK

“I was at a crossroads working through what I want to do in the future. The sessions with Charlie helped me get clarity on what I want.  I feel like I have a direction I chose, not one I fell into.”

Tiggy. London.

Charlie helped me think through anxiety before public speaking events and shift how I approached them. I’ve since spoken at high profile meetings and the anxiety that used to floor me just isn’t there in the same way.

Rob. Brussels

 I contacted Charlie because I was feeling overwhelmed and struggling to manage all things I was doing. He gave me the space to think and break down what was happening to me. I was able to better understand what was blocking me. He worked with me to develop goals which really helped me prioritise and move forward.
