About

PresentSense Coaching

Bespoke online or in-person coaching. This is where we work together through a developmental relationship geared at deepening your purpose, presence and range. Offerings include one-to-one or pairs work inspired by the Gestalt Cape Cod approach.

Developmental Spaces & Collaborations

Developmental spaces offer individuals and teams the opportunity to share, reflect and challenge each other in various facilitated containers. Ranging from process groups to themed programmes and collaborative experiments. 

"Before coaching, I defaulted to people-pleasing in a high-pressure role, often leaving me stretched and exhausted. Through this work, I’ve learned to recognise what’s mine to hold, pause before responding, and set clear, grounded boundaries without guilt. I’m now more present, less reactive, and better able to manage complex team and client demands."

"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."

“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.”
