Private Advisory & Strategic Support

When the way forward isn’t clear, and thinking alone feels heavy, a steady advisory presence helps unpack complexity and find clarity and direction.

At times, in life or work, while everything keeps moving, inside, it can feel crowded or foggy.

Your head is full.

Every decision seems connected to ten others.

You can see all the moving parts, but that’s part of the problem, as you might be missing others.

Private Advisory is how I work with people in those moments – when clarity is needed, not more pressure.

This is not about fixing you, pushing you, or telling you what to do.

It’s about slowing things down enough to see what actually matters, and having someone independent alongside you while you work things out.

People usually reach out to me when:

– They feel pulled in multiple directions, and it’s hard to find their their North.

– They’re at a pivotal point in their life and need clear direction.

– They’ve built their business to a level that they can’t seem to escape the daily grind.

– They’re carrying responsibility for others and have nowhere neutral to put it.

– They don’t know what the right next move is, even if they know something’s off.

– They would benefit from someone who just helps them unpack situations without judgement.

My role is not necessarily to provide answers, but to help you:

– Unpack what’s going on in your head.

– Separate signal from noise.

– Understand what is actually yours to carry – and what is not.

– Make decisions you can live with, not just decisions that look good on paper.

Sometimes that’s about work.

Sometimes it’s about role, direction, life or timing.

Often it’s about holding steady while something finds its shape.

This work is often engaged by business owners, senior leaders, and founders who need a trusted external perspective alongside them over time.

– Have a clear sense of direction and heightened motivation.

– Feel less stressed and mentally overloaded.

– Can make decisions that feel settled, not rushed.

– Understand more clearly what is theirs to carry – and what is not.

– Find it easier to hold responsibility without it consuming everything.

– Move forward with more steadiness and less internal pressure.

– Enjoy their life much more, have more fulfilment, and more time for themselves.

It is not:

– A coaching programme.

– Therapy.

– Consultancy projects.

– Motivational work.

How this relates to Business Consulting or Business Mentoring:
This work sits between strategy and mentoring. It isn’t a one-off consultancy project, nor is it ongoing life or performance coaching. Many consulting clients also engage in advisory when complexity feels bigger than a project; many mentoring clients move into advisory when leadership weight broadens.

– Trust can build.

– Context doesn’t have to be re-explained.

– Thinking can evolve naturally.

We review as things change.

Costs are discussed openly and practically – this work needs to make sense on both sides.

If you’re reading this and thinking:

“That sounds like where I am.”

“I don’t need fixing, I need space.”

“I just need to talk this through with someone steady.”

Then it may be worth having a conversation.

There’s no commitment in exploring whether this is the right kind of support for you.
