My Story

As a kid I was known for my curiosity, desire for adventure and my reflective nature. I was also a big fan of Ferrero Roches (specifically their "the Ambassador will see you now" advert), a book about kids around the world and the Men in Black movie. In short, I've wanted to work around the world "helping make a difference" in a fun job.  Fast forward several decades, I've been a serving diplomat for the past eight years and working in foreign policy for a decade, predominantly in conflict zones. 

​

When I look back it seems inevitable that I would some day become a coach. Growing-up I loved helping people and became fascinated with human behaviour.  I started mentoring and coaching others whilst serving as a diplomat conflict zones. My love of helping people grew and Delphi Coaching was born.

If you're interested in my credentials, my fascination with the human psyche resulted in; a BA from Oxford University in Biomedical Science (I specialised in neuroscience), a Msc in Global Politics and a brief foray into law (GDL). I'm a trained coach (person-centred approach) and a trainee psychotherapist (integrative). My passion as a kid was maths. I'm published in a biomedical journal (it's old research and probably won't interest you). I love to dance! I'm as scientific as I am artsy. 

​

I've worked in banking, political risk and international development. I've worked in tech companies, charities, start-ups and large corporates. I've worked in at least four different countries (depending on what you count as work). I've travelled extensively. I've worked with people that hold wildly different beliefs to me too. I firmly believe this experience as well as my own emotional journey (there have been a few!) helps me understand where you're coming from. I can "get" you and will understand your situation, no matter how different you might believe us to be.

Who Coaches With Me?

Who Are My Clients?

When I first start working with my clients they might say some of the following things:

​

  • “I feel stuck”

  • “I need more motivation”

  • “I’ve lost my passion”

  • “I don’t have the energy to go after anything”

  • “I want to feel more like me”

  • “I can do lots of things”

  • “I can turn my hand to anything”

  • “I’ve always done well what others have given me”

  • “I don’t really know what I want to do”

  • “I’m a generalist, I don’t have any specialism”

  • “I feel I’ve been who others have wanted to me to be”

  • “I don’t feel I’m reaching my potential”

  • “I doubt myself before I speak”

  • “I feel what I have to say is perfect”

  • “I don’t know how to get to where I want to go”

  • “I don’t like failure”

  • “I know I’m meant for more than my current situation”.

​​"My clients want to make the world a better place. They tend to be good at what they do. They're are do-ers....But when it comes to themselves they don’t know what it is they deep down want to do."

Pre-Coaching Doubts

Things My Clients Think Before They Coach With Me...

Before coaching my clients tend to worry about whether it will make a difference. Like me, they appreciate value. My clients don’t only want and insight. They want action. The want to be able to take steps that help them head in the right direction.

​

Given they care about others the concept of spending money on themselves might (but only might) feel deeply uncomfortable too so they want to make sure it’s worth it. They will often have an internal conflict (which is one of the reasons they’re coming for coaching) and so they may deliberate about it quite a bit.

They usually like efficiency too and because they tend to be go-getters. This is another reason they like practical actions after each session. Like I said they want value. My coaching programmes are specifically designed around this. You want to see change. I’ve designed my coaching programmes with this specifically in mind. I am a transformational coach. We work on the internal thoughts, beliefs and patterns that might be holding you back. We ensure there’s specific actions after each session, regular check-ins, we discuss the challenges and overcome any internal or external obstacles to taking the steps you need to. Clients may or may not have coached before. They might have found the sessions useful in the past but now they’re looking for more.

Others have never had coaching before but are keen to try it. Often, they feel nerves, a little anxious or hesitate as to whether they’re doing the right thing. All completely understandable! The patterns that hold us back the most are normally the strongest before we make a change. Often the internal dilemma my clients face about deciding whether to coach or not are the same challenges that show-up in the areas where they want to see results.

"Working with Bex has genuinely been one of the most inspiring and transformational experiences I've ever had.

 

With a sense of intuitive understanding, through intent listening and using some enlightening exercises, she helped me to work out what was important to me, and where I want to go in life."
