"I set up Presentsense in an act of hope and conviction that a better world needs space to breathe. My time with this planet has taken me into organisations and partnerships where, together, we have uncovered maladaptive patterns, habitual ways of being and systems that keep us stuck; along with much joy and laughter too. Through courage, compassion and a little creativity, things usually work out.
It is a testament, and a curse, of high-performing individuals/teams that a pathologised form of good intention is often a leading cause of dysfunction. I think this speaks to the innate hopefulness of humanity."

Methodology
Rather than focusing on content, our priority is helping clients build psychological range through self-responsible awareness and reflective enquiry. Clients get the most from this process when they engage with hunger to learn, curiosity and courage.
Every relationship is unique and every request for service is different. Whether you are a sponsor in your organisation, an individual, a leader or a team, every piece of work begins with a conversation to understand the terrain. Following this introductory call with Alex, every contract is co-created to ensure coaching suitability, programme design and coach-client fit.

“In the face of complexity, we often want clarity, control, or fixed answers. But Gestalt teaches us that real understanding comes not from simplifying complexity, but from being fully present within it. Rather than rushing to solve or reduce what’s complicated, we learn to stay with what is - to notice patterns, pay attention to the whole field, and allow meaning to emerge organically.”
