Executive Coaching
I am the Founder and Director of Circle Psychology Partners, a Clinical Psychologist and Executive Coach. For more than twenty years I have worked with high-performing individuals across healthcare, education, leadership and business, helping them navigate complex professional challenges, unlock their potential and achieve meaningful, sustainable success.
Alongside my clinical and coaching work, I have built and lead a successful multi-site psychology practice, giving me first-hand experience of entrepreneurship, strategic decision-making, leadership, recruitment, business growth and managing the competing demands of work and family life. More recently, I completed the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses programme, further strengthening my expertise in business growth and leadership.
My coaching combines evidence-based psychological approaches with practical business insight. Clients value my ability to identify the underlying factors that may be limiting performance, while also providing clear challenge, accountability and practical strategies for moving forward.
My Coaching Approach
I work with senior leaders, entrepreneurs and ambitious professionals who want to perform at their best while maintaining perspective, resilience and wellbeing.
Clients seek coaching for a wide range of reasons, including:
- Leadership development
- Career progression and transitions
- Building confidence and executive presence
- Managing stress
- Difficult conversations and communication
- Team leadership and organisational challenges
- Decision-making and strategic thinking
- Balancing professional success with personal wellbeing
My style is warm, honest and appropriately challenging. Coaching provides a confidential space to think clearly, test assumptions, develop insight and translate ideas into meaningful action. While psychological formulation often helps us understand why challenges arise, the focus remains firmly on helping clients achieve tangible progress.
Who I Work With
Over the years I have coached professionals from a broad range of sectors, including law, finance, healthcare, consulting, technology, education, the creative industries and entrepreneurship.
My clients have included barristers, High Court judges, investment bankers, consultants, doctors, senior NHS leaders, entrepreneurs, actors and business owners, as well as many professionals taking on new leadership roles or navigating significant career transitions.
About Me
My own career has been shaped by determination, resilience and a commitment to continual learning. After moving from Germany to the United Kingdom as a teenager on a boarding school bursary, I went on to study at Oxford University before qualifying as a Clinical Psychologist through University College London.
Alongside my NHS career, I established what began as a small private practice, which has since grown into Circle Psychology Partners. Building and leading a business while raising a family has given me first-hand experience of many of the challenges my clients face, from leading teams and making difficult decisions to balancing ambition with wellbeing.
These experiences complement my professional training and enable me to bring both psychological expertise and practical leadership insight to my coaching.
I see clients online as well as in my consulting rooms in Dulwich Village.

Testimonials
‘I am able to express myself freely with Christine so that we have clear aspects to focus on. Identified clear steps to follow in the next 6 months starting with set goals in the first month.’ I.U., Marketing and Communication Manager, Spain
‘I started my sessions cold – not knowing where it was going to lead and only a summary understanding of what I was feeling. However Christine was able to ask the right questions at the right time to get an understanding of the route problem. I’ve come away with workable tasks to cement in the learning that happened in our meetings and to push me outside of our scheduled time. Overall, my sessions with Christine are unbelievably helpful and give me better insights to my own feelings and thoughts than I thought were possible.’ J.R. Accountant, UK
