Reflective, story-led support for adults navigating transition, leadership and creative direction.

Reflective coaching for people navigating change, identity and direction

“My one-to-ones with Dan have been life-changing.”

Coaching

 

This is not performance coaching or quick-fix motivation. It is structured, reflective work focused on identity, narrative awareness and conscious authorship.

Dan offers selective one-to-one coaching aligned with the principles of A Road of My Own.

Coaching is suited to individuals who are:

  • Navigating professional or personal transition
  • Reassessing direction mid-career
  • Exploring leadership identity
  • Developing creative work
  • Seeking clarity in moments of change

The Approach

Sessions explore:

  • The narratives shaping your decisions
  • Inherited conditioning and identity patterns
  • Resilience as adaptive identity
  • Moving from reactive behaviour to conscious choice
  • Reframing obstacles as turning points

Dan draws on his experience as a writer, facilitator and cultural practitioner, using structured reflection, dialogue and narrative tools. 

 

Format

  • One-to-one sessions (online or in person)
  • Short-term intensive (4–6 sessions)
  • Ongoing reflective partnership (limited availability)

Coaching places are intentionally limited to ensure depth and focus.

 

TESTIMONIALS

“Dan has delivered exceptional programming to both our staff as well as secondary school students on one of our outreach programmes. His rich artistic experience, his knowledge and lived experience of Romani culture, and his impeccable attention to detail were all reflected in the high-quality staff training lectures and the student enrichment workshop he created for us. When designing his student workshop, he even took the time to consult with students on our outreach programme about their needs and wants to build a set of activities that was truly bespoke.”

“My one-to-ones with Dan have been life-changing. I’ve gained a completely new perspective on life. It has transformed how I interact with my family, view relationships, and regard myself. The sessions challenge outdated thought patterns and create new behaviours in a subtle yet profoundly impactful way. I’ve undergone Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and regular therapy before, but neither made any significant difference. The sessions with Dan are far less intimidating – there’s less pressure. I’ve been given a brand new toolkit to tackle problems, and my confidence has soared. I leave each session feeling rejuvenated and passionate about life.”
