Executive Coaching for Founders, Leaders, Creatives & Neurodivergent Professionals
A space to think clearly under pressure
Coaching for founders, leaders, creatives, and neurodivergent professionals navigating pressure, transition, burnout risk, and demanding working lives. Based in Barcelona, working online internationally.
Who Coaching Helps
People arrive at coaching when something important doesn’t feel sustainable: their clarity, energy, leadership, relationships, or their sense of themselves under pressure.
I work with people with high levels of responsibility and cognitive load.
Some are neurodivergent: ADHD, autism, AuDHD, dyslexia or exploring how they function best at work and in life. Others are thoughtful, capable people whose ways of working no longer feel sustainable.
succeeding externally while struggling internally
carrying too much responsibility for too long
navigating burnout, overwhelm, or inconsistent functioning

askng whether their way of working is sustainable
reconciling ambition, wellbeing, identity, and capacity
I coach people seeking clear thinking, self-understanding, and more sustainable ways to work, without sacrificing themselves in the process.
Common Coaching Themes
People rarely come to coaching because they need more information. Often, they need space to find clearly, process honestly, make decisions, navigate change, or create more sustainable ways of working and living. Executive coaching provides a space for clarity, processing, and decision making.

Available online internationally or in person in Barcelona. We start with a confidential discovery call to explore what’s happening and whether working together feels useful for both of us.
What Working With Me Is Like
Coaching with me is a space to slow things down, untangle complex realities, and think clearly again. A space to step back from pressures, reconnect with your judgement, and work out what sustainable performance looks like for you.
Some sessions are reflective, some are practical, and some are shaped around what matters most in the moment. Together we notice and untangle the patterns, pressures, relationships, and systems shaping your work and life, staying grounded in the realities of leadership, communication, decision-making, and day-to-day functioning.
Other sessions can be spacious, exploratory or focused, strategic, and action-oriented. We work with direction and desired outcomes, while recognising that clarity often emerges through the process itself.
Often the work makes sense of things by reducing friction and overload, and finding ways forward that align with who you are and how you function best.
My work is collaborative rather than prescriptive, grounded enough to hold competing demands, and open enough for what unfolds.
How coaching usually works
We begin with a free discovery call to explore what's brought you here, what you'd like to change, and whether working together feels like a good fit.
Most sessions are 90 minutes and take place online though in-person sessions are available in Barcelona. Some clients work with me every two weeks, others monthly, and some choose a more flexible rhythm to fit what they're navigating.
After an agreed number of sessions, we review progress and decide together whether continuing feels useful.
Fees
Individual 90 minute coaching sessions are €200 each. We begin with a free discovery call to explore what’s happening and whether working together feels like a good fit. If longer-term support is needed, we can discuss coaching programmes during that conversation.

Approaches & Frameworks
My work integrates multiple approaches depending on the person, situation, and goals involved. Rather than applying fixed methods, I adapt to help people think more clearly, reduce unnecessary friction, and find more sustainable ways of working, leading, and living.
A core part of my approach is making space for people to think openly without feeling judged, rushed, or pushed toward answers that don’t fit. The work often involves untangling patterns that have become normal under pressure and helping different possibilities become visible.
The work supports executive functioning, leadership communication, burnout recovery, decision-making, emotional regulation, and sustainable performance under pressure.
Key influences on how I coach include:
Executive Coaching: leadership, communication, decision-making, executive functioning, and cognitive load under pressure
Symbolic Modelling & Clean Language: careful listening and clean questions that support clear thinking and deep insight
Systems Thinking: understanding how relationships, environments, and wider systems shape experience and behaviour
Neurodiversity & Trauma-Aware Coaching: understanding how stress, overload, and different ways of functioning affect work, communication, and wellbeing
Person-Centred and Outcome-Focused Approaches: supporting honest reflection, meaningful change, and sustainable progress
Coaching that’s reflective when needed, strategic when useful, and always grounded in real-world complexity.
Helping capable people work more sustainably
I understand what it’s like to appear capable on the outside while privately navigating pressure, overload, reinvention, or the sense that something important is no longer working.
My background includes entrepreneurship, creativity, burnout, and years coaching founders, leaders, creatives, and neurodivergent professionals through pressure, transitions, and demanding working lives. Those experiences shape how I coach: with empathy, honesty, and respect for the realities that people carry.
Clients often describe the work as helping them feel calmer, clearer, less fragmented, and better able to think under pressure.
Recent coaching conversations have included:
a founder rebuilding their confidence and business after burnout
a senior leader navigating late ADHD diagnosis and communication strain
an entrepreneur creating sustainable ways to work after prolonged overload
Our discovery call will be a space to explore what’s happening, think clearly together, and see whether this feels like the right kind of support for you.
People I've coached have worked at organisations including
"Tom helped me step back from constant firefighting and think more clearly about how I was leading.”
