"Let me support you to make real shifts in how you experience your life. I can help you explore, discover and take action; to live each and every day with meaning; to define, plan, and achieve your goals in life and in your career." - Tom Goldstein

I am a certified personal and professional coach (ICF PCC). I have a master’s degree in psychology, and a PGDip in systemic behaviour change and well-being. I work with clients who are motivated to find new ways of showing up, find balance, resilience, and who want to maximise their potential for success. I ask my clients to see every moment as a chance to develop and explore new perspectives.

My coaching includes leadership development, career growth, mental wellbeing, personal development, teams, sports performance, and life in general. I have coached CEOs, executives, founders, senior leaders, high potential individuals, athletes, as well as people and teams at all levels within and outside of organisations.

Before training as a coach, I spent 15 years in another career in telecoms. I started off as a hardware engineer, moving to software and then customer support and technical pre-sales - in the UK, Europe, Americas, India, and APAC. I worked for small start-ups and large multi-nationals. I was involved in building and leading global teams for more than 5 years.

In July 2015 I left my career in telecoms with the goal of exploring myself more deeply. I believe that the journey is always ongoing, and I am constantly learning and growing. In 2016 I was trained and certified by the Coach Training Institute (CTI), one of the most established and well-respected coach training schools in the world. I now works as a coach, nature connection guide, hiking guide and sound, meditation, and movement therapist.

I am passionate about learning in many different form, which has served me well. I now have more than 1200 hours coaching experience and 1000 hours training, including: coaching, NLP, systemic coaching, communication skills, leadership development, trauma, wellbeing, positive psychology, team coaching, Internal Family Systems, sound therapy, mindfulness and nature connection. I have a number of assessment tools that I also use when appropriate. This broad combination allows me to blend different techniques and tools to best suit the needs of my clients.

I have had my fair share of success throughout my life, but I have also faced my own struggles and difficult times. Like many others, I have experienced anxiety, insecurity and a lack of self belief. My friends, family and community are very important to me, they help me to stay grounded and to enjoy life. My own teachers, coaches and therapist have supported me on my journey, and I am continually grateful to them for this. Time in nature, my sports and my meditation have brought me peace and happiness in my career and my broader life.

It is important for me that I have walked the path, and continue to walk the path before I coach others to do the same. For me this means a lot of personal development, therapy, coaching and training over the past 10 years. I continually draw on this experience in my life and my coaching. As well as ongoing professional development, I regularly take part in silent meditation retreats, often based in pristine nature. I have a decade of experience with my own meditation practice and deep nature connection.
