Leadership & Organisational Coaching

“Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence.”

Sheryl Sandberg

I work with leaders and their teams in both the private and public sectors to create sustainable and ethical cultures that add true value to the world we live in. The coaching I provide draws upon a variety of models and is personalised to your personal and organisational requirements to ensure your goals are achieved.

Individual Leadership & Executive Coaching
I work within a six-session framework, informed by extensive training and experience in applying Psychosynthesis to psychotherapy, coaching and organisational work. Context is provided by an overarching goal with intersession goals. This provides clarity and focus whilst space is afforded to work at psychological depth to ensure that the required change and transformation can take place.

Benefits:

  • Build organisations that are sustainable, responsible, honest and transparent
  • Build confidence and wake up tired organisations
  • Align the hearts and minds in individuals, teams and divisions
  • Develop talent and build new leaders at all levels quickly and consistently
  • Deliver change appropriately
  • Deliver organisational strategy and goals

Team Coaching
The aim of team coaching is to enhance the quality, efficiency and collaboration of your team. The process and structure will depend on the project brief and unique characteristics of the team and organisation. I draw upon considerable experience of working with groups and thinking systematically and psycho-dynamically. I use the experience of group process and interpersonal awareness to support the attainment of team goals.

Benefits:

  • Increased sense of belonging and team cohesion
  • Authentic teamwork based on collaboration and trust
  • Improved communication and interpersonal awareness
  • Mutually agreed solutions, goals and problem solving
  • Increased resilience and wellbeing and decreased absences

Increased productivity, impact, service delivery, revenue and profits

Organisational Consultancy & Training
Effective training in areas of coaching will help managers and human resources teams to maximise staff wellbeing, address cultural and systematic issues and increase the alignment of personal values with those of the organisation. In turn, organisations will see an increase in staff motivation, leading to a more productive workforce, with decreased absences. I also specialise in training to support those with substance and alcohol issues, as well as common mental health disorders.

Areas of Training:

  • Introduction to Mindfulness
  • Addiction and Recovery Awareness
  • Mental Health Awareness
  • Coaching for Managers
  • Using ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Training) as a Behavioural Management Tool
  • Motivational Approaches for Managers

Transpersonal Life Coaching
As our lives become more fragmented and uncertain, transpersonal life coaching addresses issues of meaning and purpose and, in a similar vain to positive psychology, seeks to work with the best of who we are, developing our higher qualities and faculties.

I work within a six-session framework and sessions are usually every two weeks, delivered in person or online. As your coach, I will have your back and will be available in between sessions for support and encouragement. I provide online resources to support you to achieve your chosen goal or direction and work with a range of techniques including visual mapping and creativity, mindfulness and guided visualisations and energy/somatic work.

Benefits:

  • Increase your level of vitality and wellbeing
  • Free yourself in areas where you feel stuck and trapped, becoming more resilient and able to manage the unexpected
  • Successfully navigate major personal or professional transitions, including loss and uncertainty
  • Develop greater emotional and social intelligence
  • Clarify your values and live a purposeful and meaningful life
  • Become more authentic and present in your life

Counselling
Counselling is completely bespoke and personalised to each individual. I will meet you where you are at, without judgement and with compassion, bringing loving awareness to your current challenges and helping you transform those obstacles into life lessons and gifts. I understand what it is like to feel stuck, without hope or caught up in a story that seems to be governed by the past. Our work together may involve making sense of this past and integrating it into a new narrative that works for you and how you want to live your life. I draw upon behavioural, creative, imaginal, motivational and relational techniques to support you to achieve your therapeutic and life goals.

Sessions are weekly and usually the work lasts between 4 and 12 weeks. I also provide long-term psychotherapeutic work where required.

Areas I work with include:

  • Addictions and Behavioural Health Issues – (Alcohol, Drugs, Gambling, Pornography, Sex, Internet and Food)
  • Depression & Anxiety
  • Emotional Management
  • Relationship Struggles
  • Childhood and Adult Trauma
  • Lack of Purpose, Motivation, and Passion
  • Low Self-Esteem
  • Resilience and Confidence Building
  • Life Transitions Including Bereavement
  • Men’s Issues
  • Spiritual and Existential Crisis and Development
  • Integration from Plant Medicine Experiences

Life & Wellbeing Coaching

“There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.”

Victor Hugo

Whereas counselling is primarily aimed at restoring or improving a person’s ability to function, life coaching is very much about enhancing your existing wellbeing and working towards specific life goals. I take a personal values-based approach that considers all dimensions of your life, including the spiritual.

" I have had the pleasure to work with Damian for some time now. What sets him apart is an ability to connect the individual with his own emotions in a safe non-shaming way, paired with a focus on further discovering ones own life purpose and driving values. Working with Damian has allowed me to accept myself wholly with compassion and to connect with a deeper meaning for my life, where I can flourish and impact the world. "

Pascal D. Procurement Director GSK

" It was a pleasure to work with Damian. I was unsure about counselling as I believed it wouldn’t help me with my issues at the time. However, after just one session I felt much better in myself. I looked forward to our sessions and would come away feeling uplifted and positive. I would definitely recommend Damian for anyone looking for someone to talk to as he helped me in many ways. "

Jay Thompson - Landscape Designer

" It is with great pleasure I recommend Damian. I came to him with a number of irrational insecurities, which were impacting my performance at work. Our time together helped me grow in confidence, overcome fears of public speaking and I left feeling a different man. The ‘fit’ with Damian felt really natural and I have no problem admitting I would look fwd to our counselling sessions. Since counselling, I have been promoted, have better work life balance and better relationships with friends and family. I owe it to Damian. Sincerely grateful. "
