Coaching
Coaching provides the space to step back, make sense of what's going on, and explore new perspectives and possibilities.
Together, we uncover what's getting in the way, build on your strengths, and identify practical steps to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence and a way of working that feels authentic to you.
Who I work with
Experienced professionals, managers and senior leaders, from creative directors and founders to functional heads and executives.
Where they work
A range of industries, including media, digital publishing, TV & film, design, technology, the public sector and not-for-profit organisations.
Why people come to me
Developing as a leader, navigating complex workplace relationships and team dynamics, building confidence and influence, managing competing demands, or making career decisions and transitions.
How I work
Adaptive: Sessions are shaped around you, your circumstances and goals, rather than a fixed model or framework. Sometimes we will use creative exercises to explore different ways of thinking.
Insight-driven: We explore what’s happening beneath the surface, helping you recognise patterns, understand your responses and see situations from different perspectives.
Practical: Alongside reflection, we consider what this means in practice: the decisions, conversations, and actions you can take forward.
Supportive and direct: I offer a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can think openly, balanced with constructive challenge to help you see things differently and open up new possibilities.
Context matters: I look beyond the individual to consider the relationships, dynamics and organisational systems that influence how we think, behave and lead.
“Working with Bree provided a rare and valuable opportunity to step back from daily demands, gain clarity, and focus on personal growth, leadership, and long-term impact.”

How Coaching Works
1. An initial conversation
We start with a free, no-obligation 30-minute chemistry call. It's an opportunity to talk about what brings you to coaching, what you'd like to get from it, ask questions and see whether we're a good fit.
2. Agreeing our focus
In our first session, we'll explore what you'd like to work on and what you'd like to be different as a result of coaching. This gives us a starting point, although our focus can evolve as we work together.
For organisation-sponsored coaching, I can also arrange a three-way meeting with you and your manager or sponsor to agree expectations and goals.
3. Our coaching sessions
Sessions are typically 60 minutes, held online or in person. Most clients work with me over three to six sessions, although one-off sessions and longer coaching relationships are also available.
We usually meet every two to four weeks, giving you time to reflect, try things out and bring new experiences back into our conversations.
Between sessions, we may agree on actions, activities or small experiments for you to try, helping you put new thinking into practice and explore what works for you.
4. Reviewing progress
Throughout our sessions, we'll check in on what's changing and what's proving useful. At the end, we'll reflect on your progress, what you've learned and how you want to take that forward.
