PRIVATE COACHING WITH JOHN
Some things are easier to explore with another person.
The Anchor Habit Programme was deliberately created to help you navigate independently.
You don't need somebody else to tell you what your life should look like. And you don't need to hand your decisions to an expert before you're allowed to move forward.
But there may come a point when something would benefit from being spoken aloud.
A decision you keep circling.
A pattern you've begun to recognise but don't fully understand.
A change you know you want to make, but find difficult to hold onto when ordinary life takes over.
Or perhaps simply something that feels easier to explore when you're not carrying the conversation alone.
That's where private coaching can help.
Think of it less as somebody taking the helm and more as having someone willing to sit on the shore with you while you work out where you're going.

BEFORE WE WORK TOGETHER
The programme comes first.
Before we work together privately, I ask you to complete The Anchor Habit Programme.
There's a reason for that. Our time together shouldn't be spent teaching you frameworks you can explore perfectly well in your own time. The programme gives you space to look at where you've come from, understand where you are now, notice some of the patterns shaping your choices and begin considering what matters in the chapter ahead.
Then, if we work together, we can begin with you.
Your questions.
Your uncertainty.
Your decisions.
Your life.
The programme provides structure.
Coaching provides relationship.
You provide direction.
HOW WE'LL WORK TOGETHER
You don't need me to have your answers.
Private coaching isn't about handing the rudder to somebody else. I won't prescribe the life you should build, make decisions for you, or turn our conversations into another list of things you're supposed to do.
My role is to create somewhere calm enough to slow things down. Somewhere you can hear yourself think. Sometimes I'll ask questions. Sometimes I'll challenge an assumption or invite you to look at something from another angle. Sometimes we'll return to something you discovered while working through The Anchor Habit.
And sometimes the most useful thing I can do is simply give something difficult enough room to be properly understood.
A conversation each week
A private 60-minute online session each week, giving us protected time to explore whatever feels most useful at that point in your journey.
A connection between sessions
Life doesn't conveniently produce its insights during coaching appointments.
Between sessions, you'll have a private channel where you can send me a question, reflection, observation or something you've become stuck on.
I'll read it personally and respond within the boundaries we agree together.
Guidance that remains yours
You can expect thoughtful questions, honest reflection, compassionate challenge and practical perspective.
What you won't receive is somebody telling you who you should become.
The choices remain yours.
ONE PERSONS EXPERIENCE
“I worked with John in the middle of a big life transition.
One of the things John does really well is get to the root of the challenge fast. He named things I had not been able to come up with myself.
His question asking is super precise. He found the gaps in my thinking without discounting anything I brought to the table.
I never felt pushed toward a rigid framework or a particular way of thinking. It was more like he created the conditions for me to self-guide, and then encouraged me to trust that.
In three sessions I got further than I expected.
I feel more confident about this transition than I did before we started, and I am very grateful.”
“It felt like the ‘yes, and’ side of coaching.”

Private coaching client
ONE PERSON. PROPERLY.
I work with one private client at a time.
Not because I'm trying to create scarcity.
Because this is how I want to work.
The Anchor Habit isn't intended to become a high-volume coaching practice.
If I work with you privately, I want to know what we've been exploring. I want to remember the thing you mentioned last Tuesday. I want to notice when something you've been wrestling with begins to shift.
And when you send me a reflection between sessions, I don't want it disappearing into a queue of client messages.
So I made a decision:
One person at a time.
For the period we're working together, you'll be the only person I'm coaching privately through The Anchor Habit.
That doesn't mean I'll always be available.
Healthy boundaries matter for both of us.
But within the boundaries we agree, you'll know there is someone paying attention.
And when our work has done what it came to do, we'll finish.
The aim isn't to make you better at relying on me.
It's to help you become more confident navigating without me.
EIGHT WEEKS OF PRIVATE COACHING
£800
Eight weekly 60-minute private online sessions
Protected time each week to slow things down, explore what's emerging and give your questions the attention they deserve.
Personal support between sessions
Life doesn't wait for our next appointment. Between sessions, you can send me up to one message each day — a question, reflection, observation or something you've become stuck on.
I'll read it personally and respond within one working day.
One client. My full coaching attention.
During our eight weeks together, I won't be coaching a roster of other private clients alongside you.
This is deliberately small, personal work.
A relationship with an ending
We're not trying to create dependence.
Eight weeks gives us somewhere meaningful to work together while keeping the purpose of that work clear: to help you become increasingly confident navigating without me.
If I'm already working with someone, you're welcome to register your interest. I'll contact you personally when the private coaching space becomes available.
WHERE TO BEGIN
You don't need to decide everything today.
If you're new to The Anchor Habit, begin with the programme.
Work through it at your own pace. Give the questions some room. See what becomes clearer.
You may reach the end and discover that it gave you all the structure you needed.
That would be a good outcome.
And if you finish and discover there's something you'd value exploring with another person, you can come back here.
