About Nigel

I enjoy working with people and hearing your stories and ‘the more challenging the situation, the more beautiful the solution.’

During a thirty year career as a police officer, l worked in high-pressured environments and dealt with stressful incidents, often meeting people at the lowest point in their lives. I was tested by the responsibilities of running my own police station.

I have experienced the impact of stress, depression and physical injury on my overall health which is why I can help you avoid going through what I did. Such experiences enabled me to effectively support colleagues deal with their own challenges and clients to stay healthy.

Following retirement from the police force, I travelled round the world with my wife for six months, which included camping in Australia and New Zealand. On my return I founded my coaching practice, alongside buying and managing property, working with barristers on complex criminal trials and accepting over sixty invitations to speak about my policing career.

I have no ‘ideal client’, but many busy people come to me to help them balance their lives. Having experienced the effects of stress, I have an interest in making sure they understand the importance of looking after their own wellbeing.

Keeping up to date

Coaching is both my passion and a way of life. Every year, I spend thousands of pounds attending courses, seminars, reading books and listening to CDs to update my knowledge and skills. Recently, I attended Michael Neill’s Supercoach Academy. This involved spending six weekends in New York City learning from the world’s best coaches. I believe in coaching and have my own coach. By keeping in regular contact with other top coaches, I’m aware of what works and what doesn’t.
