Finding sustainable ways to make a difference for you and your charity
Work with me
We all experience stressors in life and work, but those of the charity sector, where making a difference is so important can be particularly difficult to manage, especially during times of crisis.
Whether you’re thinking about your own resilience or that of your teams, prevention is better than cure, and by providing both individual and organisational approaches you can be sure we can find the right option for you.
What People Are Saying
“It was amazing to feel drawn to different images and spend time thinking what that meant.”
— Kasia
“Alex listened, was non-judgemental., provided me with some useful tools, helped me to make sense of my thoughts and provided me with a safe space to be open and honest.”
— Jenieve.
“I worked with Alex around my work / life balance, priorities and goals. A natural cynic, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but very quickly Alex showed me clear paths to set short, medium and long term goals, and a way to keep my values at the heart of my mid-life career change. I can’t recommend working with Alex enough.”
— Anna
1:1 Coaching
I work one to one with charity & non-profit CEOs and leaders to help them thrive whilst they make a difference. That may be focussed on who they are as a leader and how they lead, how they can balance work and the rest of their life, preventing burnout or building a healthy work culture.
Coaching offers an opportunity to focus on you (instead of everyone else) and to pause, reflect and make sense of what is going on in your head, so you can move forward confidently.

Sometimes you don’t need a full coaching programme, you just need someone to help you work through the challenge you’re facing.
This session is for those one-off issues you need to talk through with someone who gets it.
The Focus Session gives you a 60 minute coaching session where together we’ll explore the problem or challenge that has brought you here. You’ll leave with clarity on the issue and what’s getting in your way, a broader perspective and an action plan which you feel confident about.
It’s perfect if you’re:
Dealing with a specific challenge at work you need to get clear on
Have a specific support or developmental need to address
Want to create a concrete action plan for something you’ve been procrastinating over
What you get:
A 60 minute session
A pre-session questionnaire to help you reflect before we meet
An action plan
You’ll leave calmer, clearer and certain of your next steps.

Whether you’re navigating a period of change, uncertainty or need to bring a team together, group coaching might be the answer.
It will help you:
Build trust and psychological safety
Facilitate open & honest conversations
Focus on outcomes
Develop understanding of different departments priorities and how they contribute to the mission
Embed healthy working practices across the charity
Team coaching sessions will typically be 90 minutes long, and take place monthly, over 6 to 12 months depending on your needs.
We’ll start by having a conversation about your team’s needs. Based on what we’ve discussed, I’ll put together a proposal and we’ll meet again to agree a way forward.
-
Sometimes before you dive into training, coaching or the strategy you want to understand what is working well, so you can do more of it, as well as what you want to change.
That’s where I can come in as a psychologist to help you undertake a comprehensive assessment of the charity’s culture, and create a bespoke plan to help you move towards your vision.
Every charity is different, so we start with a complementary call to understand your unique needs and I’ll put together a proposal based on our conversation.
“I have learnt how important resilience is for both myself and the team. I have gained lots of tools and strategies to build on, and better understanding how to manage stress, and support others during challenges.” -
