HI, I’M DECLAN,

I’m so pleased to welcome you here.

I’m an ICF-accredited and EMCC Certified coach based in Bristol. I work with individuals in the early stages of their careers who are looking to transition into their professional lives with confidence and clarity.

I have a particular focus on supporting individuals from minority and/or neurodiverse backgrounds, and work with individuals, employers and university students.

I incorporate a variety of coaching strategies to carry out my sessions in a person-centred manner to enable individuals to get the most out of our time together.

I am also a DISC certified coach and can offer this resource to help individuals gain insight into their behavioural preferences.

How can coaching support you?

Coaching is about supporting an individual to gain insights into their mind to enable them to develop new and positive ways of thinking, feeling and acting.

Coaching takes a non-directive, client centred and evidence based approach using the core principle that an individual has the capability to change their neural pathways and positively alter their behaviours and beliefs.

Coaching can have significant tangible benefits to you as an individual. Research conducted by the International Coaching Federation has shown that 80% of individuals who have received coaching reported an increase in their self-confidence and over 70% reported that they benefited from improved work performance, relationships and more effective communication skills.

How can coaching help your early career?

Coaching can help with:

  • Establishing career direction and goals

  • Building your professional identity

  • Adjusting to workplace culture

  • Developing professional skills

  • Gaining confidence and reducing imposter syndrome

  • Balancing work and personal life

  • Managing stress and developing resilience

  • Navigating career transitions

  • Much more…

Coaching can be very useful as you transition from academic settings or early work experiences into a professional career. This is a key period in establishing career direction and developing a strong foundation to set yourself up for long term success. Coaching can be a valuable tool to accelerate your personal and professional growth by providing a tailored and structured space in which to navigate this transition.

  • I highly recommend Declan to anyone looking for a coach who is both dynamic and a great listener, and who will help them gain clarity on whatever they want to work on.

    Nina, March 2024

  • Working with Declan has introduced me to the structure, accountability and tools that I’ve needed to successfully find my path. Coaching really has transformed many, if not all areas of my life. I’d highly recommend Declan to anybody looking to make a shift or who feels they needs a bit of support in figuring out their what next.

    Jess, Jan 2024

  • His open, relaxed, non-judgemental approach provided me with the time and space I needed to explore new ways of thinking. Declan is by nature a very empathetic and down to earth coach, he has a calming demeanour and made me feel at ease to share my experiences.

    Operations Manager, Feb 2024

  • Each of the sessions with Declan left me feeling calmer and clearer with an increased ability to see things more rationally.

    John, Nov 2023

  • Declan is a patient listener and has helped me to see several situations from a different perspective, therefore opening up opportunities to deal with them using techniques and methods that I would not previously have been able to consider.
