I came to Simon through word of mouth. There were vague ideas that I wanted to formulate more clearly and see if I could bring them into the world. Ideas that I felt would have a profound impact on my work as well as my life at large. Even before we started a coaching relationship, Simon’s keen perception had me seeing things that added meaning and understanding to these ideas and working on blocks that were getting in the way of bringing these ideas to fruition. With a mixture of humour and gravitas, we navigated a beautiful coach-client relationship that had me stand in my manhood more confidently and take ownership of my role in creating my life the way I want it to be. In the year we worked together, Simon supported me as I created new concepts in my work and brought them to life. My homework was often supported by insightful poetry recommendations or other pieces of work that helped inspire deeper thought. I think Simon did an outstanding job of helping me gain the clarity I wanted about these vague ideas. I am in a much stronger place now, with a deeper self-awareness and sense of personal authority and leadership I can confidently attribute to Simon’s skilful listening, insight and encouragement.

Working with Simon has been a transformative experience for me which has had a very positive impact on my work and my approach to it. He has helped me further my thinking, hone my purpose and get to know myself better. He asks brilliant and challenging questions that go to the heart of the issues I want to explore. His sessions provide a reflective and encouraging space, and working with him in 2020 has also helped me to digest and navigate this difficult year.

I haven’t experienced life coaching before. Simon came highly recommended by a friend whose judgement I trust. I was right to trust. It has been a revelation. Simon is a seriously skilled listener with a rare ability to truly understand both what you are trying to express but also the potential meanings and thought patterns behind the words. His perspectives are refreshing and engaging and ultimately made me more self aware. Simon will champion you with sensitivity, insight and encouragement. He’ll also challenge you if you are up for it. An incredibly valuable experience. Thank you Simon.

Simon’s genius is in helping you see things about yourself that you knew at the core of your being, but didn’t know you knew, until now. He has a courageous heart, and a poetic soul. Prepare to awaken!

From the first time Simon coached me, he made a powerful impact. Beyond the warmth, compassion, friendliness and humility is a coach so wise, intuitive, insightful and courageous that I am certain he will also help you make the changes you’re looking for in your life. He really is a very good coach, so I highly recommend working with Simon.

Simon is a special coach and a special person. Smart, personable, articulate, Simon brings wisdom and experience as well as a soft touch, providing gentle, but firm guidance on your journey. I really appreciate Simon’s powerfully insightful questions, his uncanny intuition and ability to call my attention to points that have lead me to have those elusive, Aha!, moments. I feel very fortunate to have Coach Simon on my team and recommend him without reservation to anyone who is working through personal or professional issues and looking for clarity as well as movement.

FS Creative worked with Simon as a coach from July to November 2021. He came highly recommended to us from a colleague within the sector and he certainly lived up to all the expectations! Despite never having worked with a partnership before, Simon was really open to the challenges of coaching a pair. We will be forever grateful to him that he took that risk on us! We completed eight, one hour sessions with Simon and in the relatively short space of time that we worked with him, we saw very significant changes in both our personal and professional lives.

We approached him at a time when FS Creative had reached a definite crossroads. There were blockages in the way and big questions that we needed to answer; a series of knots that Simon very carefully helped us to untangle, giving us the freedom to think and see things differently for the first time in a long time! Crucially, he always provided a safe space, gently guiding us through the process, giving us permission to carve out precious time to individually and jointly reflect back on our business.

We know through the work we do how incredibly difficult this kind of practice is but Simon makes it look easy. He is incredibly skilled and experienced in holding space for people to have what can be very emotionally charged, sensitive, and difficult conversations. He does this with utmost care and consideration. As women in their 40s Simon was very able and ready to tune in to our particular needs and experiences as working mothers, wives, business partners, and friends. We’ve already recommended Simon to friends and colleagues and will continue to do so in the future!

Simon was an extraordinary help during a time of transition. It was made clear that the solution to any problems or challenges would come from me but Simon’s professional ability to draw attention to repeat patterns of thought, enabled me to find new ways of approaching different areas of my life. I found the process of coaching empowering and also enjoyable, a chance to really examine my life’s purpose and where I am now. I couldn’t recommend Simon enough, his approach is both nourishing and challenging in the right places and I’m certain anyone who is a coachee will benefit enormously.
