Why use the Trusted Coach Directory?
Finding a professional coach is difficult when anyone can call themselves a ‘coach’.
There are many types of coach; Executive Coach, Leadership Coach, Confidence Coach, Relationship Coach, Life Coach, Career Coach, Performance Coach, Business Coach etc. This makes it challenging to find someone who has the right skills, qualifications and can demonstrate tangible results in the area you would like to develop.
This directory only accepts a professional coach who is qualified, experienced, a member of a professional coaching organisation, has regular coach supervision, insurance and excellent references.
We have done our utmost to ensure that you will find top quality professional coaches on this site. The responsibility and choice for whom you decide to work with is ultimately yours. Our aim is to make the process easier for you.
In addition to providing a verified listing, we also offer a personal coach matching service, please book in a call to discuss your needs.
We also provide a portal of resources such as events, conferences, exhibitions, workshops, articles, industry news and blogs to enhance your continued personal and professional development alongside the work you might do with a professional coach.

What is Coaching Accreditation?
Although coaches don’t have to be accredited to register on the site, we do encourage accreditation as we believe that it raises the standard of coaching. Accreditation demonstrates a commitment to professional coaching through clarifying their coaching style and coaching philosophy, a full understand of the skills required for coaching, case studies, references, CPD log, and an in depth understanding of the coaching code of ethics.
Different professional coaching bodies require different criteria for each level of membership.

What is coaching?
The International Coach Federation (ICF) defines coaching as: partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential, which is particularly important in today’s uncertain and complex environment. Coaches honour the client as the expert in his or her life and work and believe every client is creative, resourceful and whole. Standing on this foundation, the coach’s responsibility is to:
- Discover, clarify, and align with what the client wants to achieve
- Encourage client self-discovery
- Elicit client-generated solutions and strategies
- Hold the client responsible and accountable
This process helps clients dramatically improve their outlook on work and life, while improving their leadership skills and unlocking their potential.
“Coaching targets high performance and improvement at work and usually focuses on specific skills and goals, although it may also have an impact on an individual’s personal attributes such as social interaction or confidence. The process typically lasts for a relatively short defined period of time, or forms the basis of an on-going management style.”
Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD)“Coaching is an interactive process that helps individuals and organisations to develop more rapidly and produce more satisfying results. Coaches work with clients in all areas including business, career, finances, health and relationships. As a result of coaching, clients set better goals, take more action, make better decisions, and more fully use their natural strengths.”
International Coach Federation“…unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.”
Sir John Whitmore, author of ‘Coaching for Performance’

How do I select the right Executive Coach?
Before getting in touch with any potential Executive Coach, we suggest that you consider the following:
1. Check their experience level. What is their core expertise, what credentials do they carry, what is their thought leadership and their view on what Executive Coaching is about?
2. Accreditation, Degree and professional certification. What does their learning journey look like, have they kept their knowledge up to date and are they continuously looking for development opportunities in order to best serve you as a client?
3. Business understanding and sector experience. What is their own background, do they have any relevant experience in your sector or in the sector that you’re trying to break into, are they equipped with industry experience that will prove useful to the coaching?
Make sure that you ask all the relevant questions that are on your mind before making a decision. Once you have clarified the above, you should be meeting with 2, and no more than 3, Executive Coaches for a so called ‘Chemistry Session’. During these:
4. Check whether what you have found out about the Executive Coach comes to life during the chemistry session. Are they engaged, do they possess good listening skills, what is their coaching style, do they offer rigour and flexibility at the same time, what is their style of coaching? Could you imagine working with that individual very closely for an extended period of time?
5. Coaching methodology. What does a “typical” client process look like if you were to work with them? To what degree are they able to provide you with clarity as to what working with them may look and feel like?
6. Outcomes. Will there be clear, measurable and agreed learning outcomes? How will the outcomes of the coaching engagement be measured and evaluated against?
7. What is the Executive Coach’s understanding of the ethics around coaching, are they in regular supervision themselves? What about confidentiality, how will this be ensured, how will this be covered contractually?
8. Is the Executive Coach able to provide you or HR with credible references and client testimonials at your level of seniority? What concrete results have been achieved by their previous clients? What would be the cost involved for a coaching engagement and what is included and what would be charged as an extra service?
9. Contracting. How do they manage expectations in an organisation? Will they involve HR and your line manager and if so, how will that exactly take place and what boundaries are to be expected, and will those be put in writing?
10. What diagnostic tools will the Executive Coach use (if any) and what is the value of using that tool to support the coaching outcomes? Will there be a 180 or 360-degree tool involved and if so, how valid and reliable is it and who will have access to the results?
Going through the above criteria will not only increase the likelihood of you landing the ideal Executive Coach, but…
…it will also ensure that you have a thought-provoking and challenging partner on your side that will help you to grow beyond what you had imagined is possible.
What is Executive Coaching?
Executive Coaching
Whether you are the CEO, CTO or Managing Director, Executive Coaching provides a safe and confidential space to work on current challenges and move forward on specific projects. Working one to one with a qualified and experienced Executive Coach enables you to focus on outcomes such as developing a strategy, building your team or managing change. Targeted conversations with your Executive Coach will challenge yet support you, enabling you and your organisation, to succeed more easily and effectively.
“Executive Coaching is aimed at inspiring executive leaders to make behavioural changes which transform themselves and the people around them thereby increasing business results and performance.” Jeremy Robinson, working definition of executive coaching.

What is Leadership Coaching?
Leadership Coaching
When you are good at what you do, the natural progression is promotion, and often you are ‘rewarded’ with a management role which includes leading a team of people – with little or no training. Newly appointed managers and even experienced leaders can find this role overwhelming as they struggle to understand how to behave as a leader- which is where a Leadership Coach can help.
Working one-to-one with a qualified, experienced Leadership Coach provides a safe and confidential space to raise your self-awareness of how best to lead with authenticity, to build a cohesive team, and to ensure that objectives are achieved.
Read more about Leadership Coaching.
What is Performance Coaching?
Performance Coaching
When team members and managers require soft skills development, the natural route is to offer a generic training course, for example in assertiveness or time management. Many courses offer excellent content and cover a range of topics, but sometimes a team member needs a more bespoke and personally designed development programme. This is where a Performance Coach can add greater value by helping the individual to address challenges specific to that person.
Working one-to-one with a qualified, experienced Performance Coach provides a safe and confidential space to explore topics such as handling difficult situations, managing stress or giving an engaging presentation. A targeted and confidential conversation with a Performance Coach will challenge yet support the individual, enabling them to perform at their best, more often.

What is Career Coaching?
Career Coaching
If you are feeling stuck at work or in your career, lacking progression, purpose, motivation or a sense of challenge, then a Career Coach might be able to help.
Working one-to-one with a qualified, experienced coach, focusing on the topic of your career, provides a safe and confidential space to explore where you are now, what’s working and what’s not, and what needs to change to help you feel more satisfied at work.

What is Coaching Supervision?
Coaching Supervision
“I have been involved in training coach supervisors internationally, for many years. While coaching supervision uses some models from related disciplines, it is important to distinguish coaching supervision from educational, clinical and managerial supervision. Coaching Supervision is a distinct practice and has developed in consultation with many coaches; Coaching Supervision continues to embrace new learning and methodology, and to be in dialogue with coaches, coach trainers and employers of coaches.”
“Reflection is a crucial element in human learning.” Michael Carroll
Written by Edna Murdoch, one of the pioneers of Coaching Supervision.

How is coaching different to mentoring and therapy?
Mentoring
According to the CIPD, mentoring involves the use of the same models and skills of questioning, listening, clarifying and reframing associated with coaching. Traditionally, however, mentoring in the workplace has tended to describe a relationship in which a more experienced colleague uses his or her greater knowledge and understanding of the work or workplace to support the development of a more junior or inexperienced member of staff. One key distinction is that mentoring relationships tend to be longer term than coaching arrangements.
Therapy
According to BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy), therapy is time set aside by you and the therapist to look at what has brought you to therapy. This might include talking about life events, (past and present), feelings, emotions, relationships, ways of thinking and patterns of behaviour. The therapist will do their best to help you to look at your issues, and to identify the right course of action for you, either to help you resolve your difficulties or help you find ways of coping.
What are the benefits of coaching?
Benefits of Coaching
There are many benefits from working with a professional coach, including increased productivity, improved confidence, better relationships, more satisfying work/life balance, employee engagement, staff retention and enhanced decision-making skills.
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) Global Coaching Client Study found that the vast majority of clients reported improved work performance, better business management, more efficient time management, increased team effectiveness, and more growth and opportunities.
The same study found that coaching clients noted greater self-confidence, enhanced relationships, more effective communications skills, better work-and-life balance and an improvement in wellness.
Nearly 70 percent of individuals indicated they had at least made back their initial investment. The report suggests that a client who achieved financial benefit from coaching can typically expect a ROI of more than three times the amount spent.
According to the ICF Global Coaching Client Study, published in 2016, those people that worked with a coach experienced the following benefits of coaching:
Increased Productivity
- Improved Work Performance – 70%
- Improved Business Management – 61%
- Improved Time Management – 57%
- Improved Team Effectiveness – 51%
Increased Positivity
- Improved Self-confidence – 80%
- Improved Relationships – 73%
- Improved Communications Skills – 72%
- Improved Work/Life Balance – 67%

How will coaching success be measured?
Most coaches will start your coaching programme with an assessment of where you are now, and what you would like to achieve from coaching. Setting benchmarks at the beginning will give you a measurement for success – you, or with input from your sponsor, will set the outcomes. Most coaching relationships focus on behavioural change, and whilst your coach cannot change you, they will support, guide and challenge you to achieve your goals.
What would a typical coaching programme look like, and how much does it cost?
There are many variables in coaching programme fees. Who is paying for the coaching? Are you the CEO or line manager, or are you funding your own coaching? How long is the programme? What else is included in the programme, i.e. 360 feedback, personality profiling, review meetings to include your line manager?
A typical Executive or Leadership Coaching Programme might be spread over 6 – 12
It could consist of 6 – 12 sessions, for example a shorter coaching programme could include:
- Personality Profiling
- 360 degree Feedback from line manager, direct reports, colleagues and clients
- Session 1: Profiling & 360 debrief, input from line manager and goal setting
- Sessions 2 – 5: Working on goals via Skype or similar
- Session 6: Wrap up, review progress, next steps
Depending on the type and length of the coaching programme, and who it’s for, fees can range from £3,000 – £25,000 + VAT, excluding venue and travelling expenses.
We also offer a personal matching service, please book a call to discuss your needs.
If you would like to keep in touch, please sign up here to our monthly newsletter.
What is the return on investment?
According to the ICF Global Coaching Client Study, the vast majority of companies – 86% – say they at least made their investment back. Virtually all companies and individuals – 99% – who hired a coach said they were ‘Somewhat’ or ‘Very Satisfied’ with their overall experience, and 96% said that they would repeat the process.

Why should I have regular coaching supervision?
Coaching supervision supports the coach to uncover blind spots, discover patterns of behaviour and ways of being and doing which impacts on the success of a coach’s work. And this means clients and other systems involved in the coach’s work are ultimately benefiting from the deep reflective work of the coach.
Supervision offers coaches a psychologically safe place to professionally reflect on their work and practices in a normative, restorative and formative way[1].
Normative – exploring the professional standards, quality and ethical practices of the coach.
Restorative – exploration of the ‘person’ as the coach and their emotional well-being; creating space to process the relational aspects of partnering with their clients.
Formative – supporting the development of the coach’s abilities, skills and knowledge.
These three areas of focus support the coach to put on the ‘oxygen mask,’ reset and take time in reflection to explore their work, so we are in a great place to serve not only ourselves, but also our clients and the profession of coaching. Many of the models and processes used in coaching supervision derive from the world of psychotherapy and counselling supervision; such as organization development, human development, systems theory, adult learning, transactional analysis, humanistic psychology, psychodynamic theory, psychological type, social psychology, and other concepts. These have been adapted in order to view the work through a coaching lens.
Professional coaching is a skills based practice and in addition to achieving globally recognised standards, quality and qualifications, coaches also need to do their own work and foster high levels of self-awareness, integrity, self-belief and developmental growth. Coaching supervision provides the space to do just this.
Benefits include:
Increased self-awareness
Greater confidence
Increased objectivity
Heightened sense of belonging
Reduced feelings of isolation
Increased resourcefulness
What do some of the coaching bodies have to say about supervision?
The International Coach Federation (ICF) recognises coaching supervision as an important element of a coach’s professional development, learning and growth and recommends coaching supervision for full-time professional coach practitioners as part of their portfolio of continuing professional development (CPD) activities designed to keep them ‘fit for purpose’. Up to 10 hours of CEU’s can be used for renewal purposes.
The European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) describes the purpose of supervision is to enhance the wellbeing, and develop the practice of coaches and/or mentors of all levels of experience. Supervision is considered a powerful vehicle for deep learning: its benefits extend beyond the supervisee and include their clients and sponsoring organisations. EMCC recommend coaches/mentors undertake no less than 1 hour of supervision per 35 hours of practice, ensuring a minimum of 4 hours per year.
