Where individuals grow, teams align and organisations thrive.
Everyone hits a point where what once worked, no longer does.
You want more - more clarity, more momentum, more impact. That’s not a weakness. That’s what growth looks like. Your future self is calling.
Whether you’re an individual ready for change, a team navigating uncertainty, or an organisation leading transformation, coaching helps you stop, reflect and focus on what matters most.
At Wagtail Coaching, we create a trusted space for honest conversations. No judgment. Just clear thinking, bold goals and meaningful action.
We help people get unstuck, teams get aligned and leaders get results.
Whatever your next step is, we’re here to help you take it.

Who we work with
We work with individuals and teams across industries - from professionals and consultants to entrepreneurs, business owners and healthcare leaders. What unites them is a commitment to grow, lead and live with greater purpose.
Our clients are ready to be brutally honest - with themselves and with us - about the challenges they face and the changes they want to make. They are driven, thoughtful and hungry for continuous growth, personally and professionally.
We’ve partnered with senior executives at global firms, NHS leaders, start-up founders, and people at critical crossroads seeking confidence, clarity and direction. Whether they’re at the peak of their careers or redefining their path, they come to us for momentum, meaning and measurable impact.
Coaching transformed our own journeys. It pushed us beyond goals we once thought unreachable. Now, our mission is simple: to help you do the same.
Our clients typically face one or more of the following challenges:
-
You have built a successful career over the last 10-15 years and you are well respected in your industry.
The issue? You're unhappy, bored and unfulfilled. You feel stuck.
-
You have built a successful career and the next step involves a big jump in responsibility, size of team and number of people to manage.
You need help developing your leadership skills, confidence and self-awareness, and someone you support them through the process.
-
You've always dreamt of doing something different with your life.
Something more inspiring and in line with who you really are as a person, rather than who you think you’re supposed to be.
You need help taking the first steps.
-
You have a voice inside telling you that you're not good enough or smart enough or brave enough to take the next step in your career, or that move to a new country, or that transition to a completely different job.
Having worked through all three of these myself, I can help you achieve more than you ever thought possible.
-
You know what you need to do, it’s doing it that’s the hard part.
You need someone to hold you accountable, keep you focused and on track, to achieve your goals.
-
You have a CV which is out of date and doesn’t sell the knowledge, skills and experience you have gained throughout your career.
Your last interview was years ago and you need help preparing with someone who will support you and provide honest feedback.
-
You are the leader of a team who work well as individuals, but could achieve so much more if they collaborated and worked more effectively together. They lack connection and trust.
What’s it like to work with us?
We won’t ask you to jump in a swimming pool fully clothed - but we will challenge your thinking and push you beyond your comfort zone.
As coaches and trusted advisors, we work deeply with individuals and teams to uncover limiting beliefs and break unhelpful patterns. The result? New insights, fresh perspectives and lasting change.
If you have big goals but keep getting stuck or doubting what’s possible, we’ll help you get out of your own way.
We begin with a free 30-minute call to see if it’s a fit. Coaching happens by phone, video, or - if you’re local - walking outdoors in London’s parks and woodlands.
“Simon helped me set boundaries with my team, improve my confidence as a leader and helped me create my own cascade to help with work stress and anxiety triggers.”
What does a Wagtail have to do with coaching?
Every morning, at 5.30am, a wagtail tapped on the bedroom window whilst we were living in Zambia on our one year adventure living in Africa. It saw its reflection as a rival and kept returning, undeterred by frustration and failure.
But the wagtail isn’t just persistent, it’s smart, collaborative and a natural communicator (with other birds, obvs). That same determination and focus, applied differently, can move mountains.
Seeing the wagtail each morning reminded me of what coaching clients often teach us:
1.When times are hard, often the person we are fighting is ourselves. We can choose to stop.
2. Repeating the same actions brings the same results. We can choose different behaviours.
3. Pausing to reflect opens new perspectives. The impossible becomes possible.
4. Determination, focus and passion, when aimed well, can help you achieve your biggest goals. We choose where to put our energy.
