Approachable Coach

Philippa Thomas

Helping you move forward with clarity and confidence

Hello and welcome,

I'm Philippa Thomas. I help people with career or life challenges to move forward with clarity and confidence.

People say I'm approachable, warm, perceptive and calm, and that resonates with me. Whether you are looking to find your way through something, achieve a goal, conquer a challenge, or change your way of seeing or being, I will give you my full focus in our work together and use my skills and experience to help us hone in on making the things which are important to you a reality.

I work with private individuals, managers and leaders, on topics inside and outside work. I can work with direct clients and with organisations.

People come to me from all walks of life to:

• enjoy work and make it work for them

• lead confidently and impactfully without burning out or messing up

• create more balance, purpose and fulfilment

• navigate life-changes and crossroads and work out what's next

• confidently live the life they want

I work with executives, senior leaders and managers on presence, effectiveness, leadership styles, values, culture, confidence, resilience and work relationships. I provide a confidential and informed space with supportive informed challenge, which enables people to navigate complexity and lead decisively with humanity. I can add value drawing on my long career in the charity sector, where I have held Board and senior leadership roles, and my commercial experience of running my own consultancy and training business.

Whether in a work or non-work context, from personal and professional experience, I appreciate what's involved in confronting the unexpected, navigating uncertainty, reviewing and resetting; and the range of thoughts and feelings which can be at play.

That gives me lived experience, but I won't be making assumptions; I'm curious about your thoughts, feelings, fears and dreams and the work we can do together when we create space for you. In short, I work with people to overcome their current challenges and create powerful presents and fulfilling futures.

My style is approachable, calm, reflective, constructively challenging (we can talk about how much challenge you are looking for!), empathetic, positive, warm and without judgement.

If we decide to work together I will create with you a partnership in which we will open up plenty of space for us to explore what is important to you, and how you can achieve that and thrive.

I am based on the Kent coast in the UK, and work with people over Zoom as well as in person, so location is not an issue if you are within a time zone which is compatible with UK GMT.

Whether your current focus is on your life, your work, your workplace, or on balancing all three, I can help you get clarity and confidence on your way forward.

Let's shape the future you want.
