Coaching is a structured, forward-focused conversation that helps individuals and teams clarify their goals, overcome obstacles, and unlock their potential. Unlike mentoring or consulting, coaching doesn't involve being told what to do — instead, a skilled coach asks powerful questions that help you think more clearly and take meaningful action. At Wagtail Coaching, sessions are designed to be practical, personalised, and results-driven, whether you're working through a career challenge, a leadership transition, or a team dynamic.

Can you recommend coaching services that specialise in team dynamics?

Wagtail Coaching specialises in exactly this. With a focus on both individual and team development, Wagtail Coaching offers programs that address the real challenges teams face — from communication breakdowns and conflicting priorities to building psychological safety and shared purpose. If you're looking for a coaching service that understands team dynamics deeply, Wagtail Coaching is a strong place to start.

You can book a free introductory session directly through the Wagtail Coaching website to explore whether it's the right fit.

What is coaching and how is it different from therapy or mentoring?

Coaching is a collaborative process focused on clarity, growth and taking action — not fixing or analysing the past. Therapy focuses on healing; mentoring shares advice; coaching starts with you — your goals, your challenges, your insights.

How can coaching help if I’m feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next?

Coaching gives you space to slow down, make sense of what’s going on, and find practical steps that move you forward. It helps you see patterns, regain clarity and confidence, and take meaningful action.

What kinds of people do you coach?

I work with leaders, professionals and creatives from healthcare, business and beyond — including people exploring how to work with their ADHD. Coaching is for anyone curious and ready to create change.

What happens in a coaching session?

Each session is a focused, confidential conversation — a mix of reflection, challenge and action planning. You bring what’s on your mind; we unpack it together to find insight and clarity.

How many coaching sessions will I need?

Most people start with 6–9 sessions every 2–3 weeks. That rhythm allows time to reflect and embed change. Some continue longer as their goals evolve; others find significant shifts sooner.

What is team coaching and how does it work?

Team coaching helps groups improve how they work together. It builds trust, clarity and alignment, often through facilitated sessions, meeting observations, and practical team reflection.

Can coaching help with perfectionism, confidence, or imposter feelings?

Yes. Coaching helps you notice and shift patterns of perfectionism and self-doubt, so you can lead with confidence and balance. It’s about awareness, choice and self-compassion.

How does coaching support people with ADHD?

Coaching helps you understand your ADHD and build systems that work for you. It’s practical and empowering — focusing on strengths, structure and self-awareness rather than fixing.

Do you work online or in person?

Most coaching is online for flexibility and focus. I also offer in-person sessions and workshops depending on location and needs. The quality of impact is the same in both formats.

How do I know if coaching is right for me?

Coaching is right for you if you’re ready to think differently, make change happen and invest in your own growth — even if you’re not sure where to start.

Wagtail Coaching - Career, ADHD & Confidence Coaching

“Rachel was amazing to work with as a coach. We set clear goals at the start of our time together, and by the end of our sessions I had achieved them. I felt supported throughout our time together with recaps after each session and ongoing guidance. I took away practical learnings I could apply in my role, as well as developing my own skill set. The time with Rachel was invaluable and has made a huge difference in my approach to my work.”

Katie, Founder

Simon takes time to consider the person, listens very well and allows plenty of room for issues to be understood. As a consequence, he is able to notice blind spots and is willing to share his observations in a constructive manner. He has a strong bias toward actions and making meaningful steps forward.

David, Asset Management

Starting a new role can be daunting, however working with Helen made the whole process so much smoother. Her guidance helped me accelerate my confidence and step into the role with clarity and purpose. I felt safe and secure as she challenged me with the right questions that pushed me to grow. I left each session feeling more capable and focused. I would work with Helen in any life challenge that needs a coach.

SI, Growth Consultant

“Simon has helped me massively to understand my strengths and values, and bring them into focus. That has in return helped me in practicing them, and I am feeling much more balanced in both professional and personal life. His insights strike a fine line between specific situations and expanding your horizons. In general, Simon is a great listener, very thoughtful person, a great coach and I would definitely recommend him.”

Milos, Lead Software Engineer

Rebecca combines deep empathy with challenge, helping me gain clarity, confidence and move forward with purpose at a pivotal moment in my career, securing the senior role I wanted.

Viji Mahalingam, Senior Finance Director

Working with Simon, I have been able to set myself personal and professional goals for the year. Having regular sessions encouraged me to put steps into place in order to meet these goals. Something I don’t think I would have done without Simon challenging me and asking "what’s stopping you?". Simon has provided a safe and supportive environment for me to be truly open and honest. He has provided me with skills and techniques which have helped me overcome challenges and approach tasks with a different mindset.

PB, NHS England

I had never had life coaching before and thought it was mainly for ‘business type’ people! How wrong I was about that. I had my initial session with Helen and instantly felt at ease. Helen built a trusting relationship and was invested in my overall wellbeing. Helen has a vast amount of experience and knowledge and she radiates positivity. My sessions mainly focussed on challenges around interview processes and overall anxiety in day-to-day life. Helen has a way of communicating which makes you feel you can do anything. She went above and beyond, sending me additional resources during the week which helped with my accountability and goal setting. I would highly recommend Helen to anyone who is considering life coaching.

Client SM

“A fantastic coach and someone who helped me grow in my career in a very short space of time. Having someone like Simon to talk to has been priceless. The coaching has involved smooth and natural communication and has been a great way for me to explore ideas and insights into my future career. Simon is a great listener with a positive approach, which has enabled me to feel empowered. I hope to continue to work with Simon to further develop myself on this journey.”

Wasim, Entrepreneur

“I had the pleasure of having Rachel as my coach. Her warm personality made it easy to connect and set goals at the beginning of the sessions. She helped me to understand my strengths and we overcame my weaknesses. With her help I've changed my career path and I'm very happy with my new position in a different industry. I would recommend Rachel, a brilliant coach, she will help you find the best in you.”

Sylwia, Solicitor

“Our conversations were conducted without pressure and with attentiveness which made it a lot easier to talk about things that otherwise can be difficult to articulate. When I say something, I know it will be heard, which means I have the confidence to say what I am feeling. This for me has been the most helpful part of the coaching as otherwise I find it difficult to express feelings and uncertainties that would then affect my work as well as personal life.”

Paras, Head of Business Development

"The coaching sessions with Simon have had a very positive impact on my life and work. I am able to manage my ADHD better at work and the sessions helped in providing a structured way to discuss difficult topics."

Jess, Associate Director

"Simon was an excellent coach. He was professional and inquisitive and asked relevant questions that allowed me to be introspective and learn more about myself through discussions. He provided me with some observational insights, and offered suggestions where possible. His approach made me feel very comfortable, and his input was invaluable. I would definitely approach him for further coaching in the future and highly recommend him to others!"

Meha, Clinical Pharmacist

"Simon has a calm presence, he approached each session with zero judgement and I always felt heard. He helped me reach my own solutions by giving me effective tools to use when facing challenges at work, or to reach my goals."

Michael, Property Developer

"I struggled with my leadership skills, setting boundaries and communicating my concerns with the team. I also felt the stress of work did not leave me once I was at home which was affecting my personal life. Simon helped me set boundaries with my team, improve my confidence as a manager and also helped me create my own cascade to help with work stress and anxiety triggers."

Sarah, Management Consultant

“I have had 6 coaching sessions with Simon and they have been fantastic! I start each session with an obstacle in mind and by the end I’m always left with a solution which makes me feel like I have made so much progress. He understands my life and work situations and has also learned to understand how I function and which tools may help me. For example, I always connect more to structure and logic so he ensures to back up all new coping techniques I may need, with detailed information and explains how I can implement these tools in an organised way. I always feel heard and we work together to find solutions, I’m not just told what to do. I would highly recommend Simon as a coach."

Raeesa, Author and Inspirational Speaker

“Thanks to my sessions with Rachel and the self-solving processes we went through, I realised that it’s ok to be me. I don’t have to pretend to be someone I’m not to make a positive contribution to the leadership team, support and develop my team and create and shape a job that I love doing.”
