Who we work with: Individuals
Matthew has been coaching in an organisational setting since 1995 and has coached over 300 leaders and professionals – some were no more than 1-2 sessions - enough to facilitate someone getting unstuck; others lasted 12 months or more as we worked with more complex issues.
Matthew was initially trained in the GROW model with the Olympian David Emery. During his MSc Change Agent Skills & Strategies (2002-5) he was introduced to a much broader range of coaching approaches that developed the capacity to work both systemically and at depth. He was trained in and has direct personal experience in the following personal development models: Gestalt psychology, NLP, Transactional Analysis and Psychosynthesis. These psychological models underpin Matthew's coaching interventions.
Subsequently, he has added trainings in ontological coaching, systemic team coaching and constellations. His coaching style has evolved to become more eclectic, working with a variety of coaching and personal development models, enabling him to select those approaches that are best suited to help the client navigate their particular challenges.
In terms of models of coaching, Matthew has been trained and assessed to master’s degree level in Heron’s Six Category Interventions Analysis and Egan’s Skilled Helper model. He also has considerable experience in both ontological and systemic team coaching.

It focused on enhancing their impact and presence to enable the business to move to a higher value space in the market. Board members attributed part of the 29% growth in the business to this programme. During the programme engagements with fees in excess of £750k increased from four to 17!
Helping leaders to enhance their presence and gravitas in pressure-cooker situations.
