It is a coaching approach built around one central insight: the stories you tell yourself are code. They shape what you believe is possible, how you read situations, what you reach for, and what you hold back from. Most of the time, those stories are invisible — which is why they keep running.

Narrative Alchemy is the process of making them visible and then rewriting them. Not through positive thinking or willpower. Through genuine, grounded inner work that draws on NLP, depth psychology, Clean Language, and the philosophy of meaning-making. The alchemy is real: the base material of a limiting story becomes something you can actually use.

People who sense that something internal is getting in the way. Not a skills gap. Not a resources gap. A story gap — a set of scripts running underneath the surface that are quietly shaping every decision, every relationship, every attempt to move forward.

Leaders who have achieved a lot and are still dissatisfied, and cannot fully account for why. People in transition who keep hitting the same wall in different rooms. Coaches, consultants, and trainers who are asking hard questions about who they are and what they are becoming.

You do not need a specific problem. You need a genuine willingness to look honestly at what is going on inside.

No. I am not a therapist, and this is not therapy. Therapy tends to work from the past forward. This works from where you are now toward where you want to be. There is overlap — any serious inner work involves understanding how old stories got written — but the orientation is different.

If you are in crisis or dealing with acute mental health challenges, please work with a qualified therapist or mental health professional. That is not what this is.

No. You might encounter references to Jung, to archetypes, to alchemy as a metaphor for inner transformation. These are not decorations. They are useful maps. You are not required to treat any of them as more than that.

Belief itself is one of the things we work with — as a tool, not as a condition of entry. You bring a curious mind. That is the only requirement.

Most sessions run sixty to ninety minutes. We talk. I ask questions, some of them unusual. We pay close attention to the specific language you use, because the words people choose reveal the stories they are living inside. We use exercises drawn from NLP and Clean Language to surface patterns that are not immediately visible in ordinary conversation.

There is no homework treadmill, no worksheet stack. There are practices, when they are useful. The real work tends to happen in the conversation itself, and in the quiet that follows it.

Because most coaching works on the surface level — goals, plans, accountability structures. Those are useful. But if the underlying story has not shifted, the new behaviour does not hold. You return to base state by Thursday.

This goes deeper. The question is not what do you want to do differently. The question is what story would have to change for that to be possible. When you change the story, the behaviour tends to follow without forcing it.

It depends on what you are working with and how much you are willing to move. Some people experience a significant shift in two or three sessions. A fuller engagement usually runs three to six months, with sessions every two to three weeks.

I do not sell packages with arbitrary session counts. We work for as long as it is useful, and not a session longer.

Coaching is priced based on what we are working on and how we are working together. The right place to start is a discovery call — a conversation to understand what you are dealing with, what you are looking for, and whether this is the right fit. Pricing comes out of that conversation.

If that sounds vague: it is intentional. I would rather spend twenty minutes talking with you than put a number on a webpage that leads you somewhere that does not serve you.

Primarily online, via video call. I work with people across the UK and internationally. Occasional in-person sessions can be arranged for those based near Warwickshire.

Clarity, mostly. A clearer view of what has actually been running the show. A different relationship with the stories that have been limiting you — not as fixed facts about who you are, but as scripts that can be rewritten. Some people describe it as finally seeing the thing that was always just out of sight.

What you do with that clarity is up to you. My job is to make the invisible visible and help you see what is possible once it is.

Book a discovery call. It is a conversation, not a pitch. We talk, we work out whether this is right for you, and we take it from there.
