Thoughtful, one-to-one guidance for navigating life’s harder questions - grounded in philosophy, aimed at practice, and shaped around the particular life you’re actually living.
“It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.”
- Seneca
Before chasing a goal, examining it: whether it is yours or inherited, what reaching it would actually change, and how to break the real ones into work you can start this week.
Tools for the choices that keep you up at night - careers, commitments, crossroads. Not a formula that decides for you, but a way of thinking that leaves you knowing why you chose.
A deliberate practice of becoming: habits that hold, reading that stretches, and honest reviews of what is working. Growth treated as a craft rather than a mood.
Work, rest, relationships, and the self that has to carry all three. Building a shape for your weeks that survives busy seasons instead of collapsing at the first deadline.
One-to-one over video or phone call.
A full hour - unhurried, and yours.
Weekly or fortnightly, as the work requires.
Anyone in the middle of a question about their life.
The first conversation is free and without obligation - a chance to say where you are and what you’re carrying, and to see whether this is the right room for working on it.
People at a turning point - a career that no longer fits, a decision that won’t make itself, a season of drift. People doing well by every visible measure who suspect the measures are wrong. People who want a thinking partner rather than a cheerleader: someone who asks the uncomfortable question, holds you to your own answers, and keeps the whole of your life in view while you work on one corner of it.
The philosophical approach to life coaching helped me see challenges from entirely new perspectives. I’ve made more progress in months than I had in years of trying on my own.
Write a short note about what you’re working toward - or working through - and we’ll find a time to talk.
Here for the podium instead? There’s a separate practice for debate coaching - its own discipline, on its own page.
