Business coaching for owners and leaders. The kind that reaches what is underneath.
You have built the business, or you run a big part of one. You know the strategy. What gets in the way is usually closer to home. How you lead under pressure. The team that does not step up. The decisions you keep putting off. The control you cannot let go of. That is where I work. One-to-one coaching on leadership, teams, and the patterns that run underneath both. In person near Maidstone, Kent, or online anywhere in the UK.
Performance is not the problem. The pattern beneath it is
Leaders at the highest level face a specific challenge. The skills that got them there, drive, control, pushing through, staying composed, become the very mechanisms that keep the real issue locked in place. The harder you push, the more deeply the pattern embeds.
Most business coaching works on strategy and habits. This works on the pattern underneath them. Whatever is not working will not respond to more of the same. The work goes to the level where patterns actually live.
Working harder on the same patterns produces the same results.
The work that changes things goes somewhere harder to reach.
What brings leaders to me
Executive coaching
For the part of the job strategy can't reach: the reactions, decisions and control that keep pulling you back.
Executive coaching →Leadership coaching
The team that waits to be told, the conversation you avoid, the bottleneck you've become.
Leadership coaching →Founders and CEOs
When the business has outgrown the way you run it, and the traits that built it have become the ceiling.
Founder and CEO coaching →ADHD at work
Systems that finally stick, because the avoidance and overwhelm underneath them change too.
ADHD coaching →Confidence and imposter syndrome
The voice that says you'll be found out, and the over-preparing that keeps it fed.
Confidence coaching →Fear of public speaking
Stand up in front of a room as the person you are everywhere else.
Fear of public speaking →High-functioning anxiety
On top of everything at work, running on dread underneath, and never quite able to switch off.
High-functioning anxiety →Burnout
When rest doesn't fix it any more, and the drive that built your career is what's wearing you down.
Burnout recovery →Anger under pressure
The short fuse in the meeting, the reaction you regret, and the team that plans around your mood.
Anger management →The entry point varies. The work underneath is always the same.
Owners, founders and senior leaders come to me for different reasons. Some are paying for themselves. Some are sent by their company. What they share is this: something is not working at the level that capability, discipline or pushing harder can reach.
Performance Under Pressure
Operating at full capacity while something underneath is quietly draining it. Decisions that should feel clear feel harder than they should. The gap between what you know you are capable of and what you are actually producing.
Leadership Presence
How you show up to your board, your team, your peers. The patterns that surface under pressure, in conflict, or when the stakes are high. The version of yourself in the room that you would rather change.
The Success That Doesn't Land
You have built something real. The external results are there. The internal experience is not matching it. A persistent sense that something is still missing, or that none of it feels the way you expected it to feel.
Decisions and Control
The need to hold everything, oversee everything, trust nothing that isn't yours. The patterns around control, perfectionism, and delegation that are costing more than they are producing. The inability to switch off that feels like discipline but isn't
What the Role Is Costing You
The relationships, the health, the parts of life that keep getting displaced. The cost of always being the one who holds it together. The version of things outside work that keeps being put off until there is more time.
Burnout Recovery →Leading Your Team
The team that waits to be told. The people you hired to take things off your plate who keep handing them back. The conversations you avoid, or have badly. Most of that starts with how you lead. And how you lead starts with patterns you cannot always see.

Business coaching that goes one level deeper
Most business coaching sets the goal, builds the plan and holds you to it. That works until the thing getting in the way is you. This work starts there.
Find the real pattern
Before anything changes, you need to see clearly what is actually driving the issue. Not the symptom, not the story you have built around it. The root.
Work where it lives
Most patterns do not live in the conscious mind. So the work runs on two levels. Practical coaching on how you lead, decide and run your team. And deeper work, using behavioural analysis and clinical hypnotherapy, where the pattern needs it.
Change you can see at work
The aim is not to manage the pattern better. It is to shift it, so you stop working against yourself. Your team notices. Decisions get made. You stop being the bottleneck.

I've been where you are. That's not a line.
Before working with others, I had to do this work myself. For a long time I was good at the external picture. I had a career in photography, working with national magazines, then built and ran a marketing agency for over two decades. By most measures, it looked like things were going well. Underneath that, something else was running. Patterns I did not fully understand, reactions I could not always explain, a quiet but persistent sense that something was off despite the evidence to the contrary.
It took doing the work at a deep level to understand what was actually driving it. That experience changed the direction of everything. I spent years training across psychology, hypnotherapy, NLP, behavioural analysis and human communication, not to collect credentials, but because I wanted to understand precisely how these patterns form, how they hold, and how to shift them at the level they actually live.
I work with owners, founders and senior leaders. Some run their own business. Some lead inside a much bigger one. Some are sent by their company. What they share is not a sector or a size. It is that something is not working, and they are ready to do something real about it.
Sessions are private, direct, and built entirely around you. No worksheets. No therapy-speak. The work, and nothing else.
Results that speak for themselves.

One of a kind service
I was working all hours with little progress until Jon helped me create a clear roadmap. Now, my business is thriving, and I have more time for myself and my family.
A game changer for me
Before working with Jon, I was overwhelmed by trying to balance my business and personal life. Their coaching helped me find focus and balance, allowing my business to grow while improving my well-being.
Great investment
I was close to burnout before Jon stepped in. His practical approach helped me prioritise effectively, and now I’ve doubled my revenue while enjoying my work for the first time in years.
Stuck
I used to feel stuck in the day to day demands of my role, but Jon gave me a fresh perspective. Their coaching helped me focus on what truly drives growth, and now both my department and my personal life are in a much better place.
Manage Stress
I wasn’t sure about coaching, but JB showed me that success is about more than just business growth. His approach helped me scale my consultancy and manage stress for a more fulfilling life.
Struggle to scale
I was struggling to scale our online operations without feeling constantly overwhelmed. Jon helped me streamline my strategy, and now our e-commerce division is growing steadily while I’ve regained control of my workload and personal time.
Work life balance
Sales targets were always my main focus, but it was draining me. Jon helped me develop a sustainable approach to hit targets without burning out. Now, I’m leading a stronger team, and we’re consistently outperforming while maintaining a healthier work life balance.
Business coaching in Kent. What people ask first.
What does your business coaching cover?
Leadership, teams, and the patterns that sit underneath both. How you lead under pressure, how you delegate, how you handle conflict, and what keeps pulling you back to old habits. I do not write sales plans or marketing strategy. There are good people for that. I work on the person running the business.
Who is it for?
Business owners and founders, senior leaders in larger firms, and companies who want coaching for their people.
How is this different from other business coaching?
Most business coaching works on strategy and habits. This works on the pattern underneath them. I use coaching and behavioural analysis, and clinical hypnotherapy where it is needed. It goes where accountability calls cannot.
Can my company pay for it?
Yes. I can invoice your company directly. What we discuss stays between us unless you choose to share it.
Where do sessions take place?
Most sessions are at my practice near Harrietsham, just outside Maidstone, Kent. I also see clients at 10 Harley Street, London, and online anywhere in the UK.
How do I start?
Book a free 15-minute call. We work out what you actually need. If it is not me, I will say so.
