‘Before I worked with Ross, I was experiencing burnout after spending 18 months in overwhelm. This had knocked my confidence and self-esteem – I was full of self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Ross has the most wonderful coaching style. He is patient, attentive and nonjudgemental. He always seems to know the exact question to ask that really gets to the heart of the issue. I really enjoyed and benefited from his therapeutic style that enabled me to uncover and manage my shadow self. Since working with Ross I have confidently presented at a number of conferences and events. My confidence and self-esteem have flourished and I have learned some great techniques that I frequently use to maintain this. I would not hesitate to recommend Ross – I feel like a totally new person!’

Cancer Coaching
A cancer diagnosis changes everything, and while most support focuses heavily on the treatment phase, navigating life afterwards can feel isolating and overwhelming. We provide a safe, thought-provoking space to help you address the complex physical, emotional, and practical challenges of your journey, empowering you to come to terms with your experience and find a new way to live well.
-
People affected by cancer: patients/survivors, their loved ones, carers and clinicians
-
A diagnosis of cancer is such a shock that life after cancer is never the same. Most of the services available (such as counselling) focus on the treatment phase of cancer, however the period after treatment is complete can also be a challenge, yet little support is available. People can feel stuck and need help to come to terms with their situation post-treatment to find a way to live well.
-
We partner with you in a thought provoking and creative process to help you address the issues arising from your cancer journey and find a way forward. These issues can be wide-ranging and include physical, emotional, practical and spiritual aspects of life and relationships.
-
This is an individual coaching service, typically of 6 sessions each of 1 hours duration. The default interval between sessions is 2 weeks, although this can be varied to suit the client’s needs.
-
Coaching can help with your attitude to your cancer, which is key to your wellbeing. A positive mindset helps you to see that you have cancer; it does not have you. Cancer is a wake-up call, not a death sentence: people with cancer can choose to re-prioritise their life and live more joyfully. The paradox is that some people are happier with cancer than they were before they had cancer.

Published Thought Leadership
The Institute of Directors’ publishers approached me to contribute a chapter on Coaching and Mentoring for Business Growth to their annual publication, The Growing Business Handbook. The following year, they asked me to write about whatever I wanted, so I decided to write about leadership, drawing on my own experience as a leader (and follower) in the British Army and my research into leadership and management in business. This evolved into 2 chapters: one on Leadership for Performance, the other on Authentic Leadership for Growth. I am pleased to share these 3 chapters as a useful resource for business owners, leaders, coaches and mentors.
