Frances is a therapeutic leadership coach and psychotherapist.

Since 1999 and following a successful career leading a global investment bank’s HR team, she has coached senior business leaders in the financial services and IT industries and the third sector.

Her practical understanding of business is allied to a rigorous training in psychotherapy.

Relationships lie at the heart of her work and are an intrinsic part of the process. Building a calm, open environment of ‘creative discomfort’, constructive personal dialogue supports the executive in absorbing feedback from peers, digesting difficult messages and understanding the realities of the leadership challenge.

Her work has helped executives clarify business vision and goals, inspired teams to deliver increased revenues and broadened influencing skills to strengthen stakeholder relationships. Clients have transitioned successfully into new roles or taken difficult decisions and pursued new career paths.

Professional memberships and qualifications: Affiliate British Psychological Society and Member, Special Group of Coaching Psychology, UK Council for Psychotherapy, Post MA Advanced Diploma in Existential Psychotherapy, MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling, Fellow Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development.
