Dr Emma Sedgwick
Profile
I have a rare background for a coach, having trained as a doctor and having experience of business.
With my medical and psychiatric background, I bring a wealth of experience of people. I have seen people at their best and at their worst. I now enjoy helping people achieve their best. I know how our brains and bodies interact and so can help people make significant changes.
Whilst I am clear about the boundaries between coaching and therapy, I also help people appreciate how their patterns of behaviour have been established and what they need to do to change these for the better. I have an extensive toolkit to bring about effective change, including an emotional literacy model, to raise people’s awareness of their emotional state and to develop resilience.
I have been coaching people in a variety of organisations and sectors for the last 16 years. Many of these have been people with huge potential, who don’t always recognise this themselves. However, the organisation does and wants to support these individuals to really thrive. I have been fortunate enough to be part of this process.
The people I work with describe me as professional, calm and a deep listener. They also say I am able to strike the right balance between being supportive and challenging.
In addition, I supervise other coaches, individually or in groups.
I am accredited as a Master Executive Coach by the Association for Professional Executive Coaching and Supervision (APECS), the UK’s leading executive coaching organisation, and abide by its ethical standards.
