Working with George was an eye opener. I went into these sessions with confidence and self-esteem lacking, as well as not knowing what to do for my career. After just 4 sessions, I now have a clearer picture of the direction to go in and where exactly my strengths lie. George’s sessions are chilled out, flexible, and very informative. Even when you’re in normal conversation with him, he will pick stuff up and build things about you from that. He always has the time for you, and makes sure you are satisfied. You’re also welcome to get in touch with him in between sessions and still discuss whatever is on your mind as well.
I’ve always found applying for jobs online difficult simply because I had no idea what to go for, and the ones I did apply for would often be the wrong job for me. By the end of these sessions with George, I have specific job titles and roles which suit my needs and interests, so now I know what the next steps are. I highly recommend George if you’ve been in similar situations to me where you’re a bit stuck with what you want to do as a career.

George really took the time to understand my anxieties and challenges. He gave me solid advice and practical resources that helped me grow personally and push forward in my career with more confidence. Definitely a 5 star service I would recommend to my friends

George was an exceptional guide in exploring my career options. Through our session, I gained clarity on my strengths, passions, and aspirations. George has such an individualised, personable approach. He’s flexible and responsive and hugely supportive and encouraging.
George took great care in preparing for our session and went over and above before and after to make sure we made most use of it.
I highly recommend George to anyone seeking a thoughtful and effective careers or leadership coach who genuinely cares about their clients' success.

Having just set up my own physiotherapy practice, there were several aspects relating to the daily running of the business that I was keen to chat to George about during our coaching sessions. One aspect was how to write up my patient notes. I have been a physio for 23 years and have always written the patient's injury story in paper format or on a computer where the patient is obviously part of the conversation, but is not able to clearly see what I am writing.
So, in effect they are not part of the thought process in my head, as I’m putting together puzzle pieces of perhaps why an injury has occurred or is reoccurring. I had thought about using a large whiteboard to do the write up in front of the patient so they could be part of the fact finding process, but I wasn’t confident about changing a process that I had been doing the same way for the past 23 years.
George not only encouraged me to take the leap, but he explained from a patient psychology point of view why this was going to be an essential part of their journey too. It would build trust, knowledge and allow them to problem solve, feeling empowered about their rehab.
I then realised this wasn’t a “want” for me, it was essential for the patient and for my business to be successful and, moreover, a unique aspect to my practice.
I feel confident from this coaching experience with George that I can continue to make other changes in my business that I perhaps wouldn’t have done previously. I feel my practice has a unique quality and my patients and I better understand each other as a result of this change.
Huge thank you to George.
Something that might have taken me a year or more to implement took me only a fortnight which makes me feel really energetic about other changes I want to make in my business moving forwards.

Over the past three months, working with George has been an absolute game-changer for me. He’s helped me pinpoint the challenges within the charity I lead that were holding me back and slowing us down.
Thanks to George’s support, I’ve been able to step back, see the bigger picture, and tackle issues with a fresh perspective. I feel so much more confident as a leader now, and the changes I’ve made as a result of our sessions have already had a huge impact on the charity.
I’ve genuinely enjoyed every moment of our coaching journey. George has a brilliant way of getting to the heart of the matter and encouraging meaningful conversations that leave you feeling clearer and more focused. He’s helped me lay stronger foundations for the charity, and I’m really excited about what’s next.
I honestly can’t recommend George highly enough—his insights and approach have been invaluable.
If you’re looking for someone to guide you through challenges and help you grow, George is your man.
