About Us

Red Oak Coaching arose from a coaching practice in 2005 in order to deliver a high quality, bespoke coaching service to members of the public, small and medium enterprise (SME) and organisations. The aim of our service is to support, challenge, motivate and teach in order to get the results our clients want. Our ethos is about helping people feel better about themselves. This then invariably has a positive knock on effect in all areas of our clients’ lives.

Red Oak Coaching offers areas of specialism in managing stress, confidence building and goal setting. A newly developed niche is working with golfers on their psychological aspect of the game with the aim of lowering handicaps and enhancing enjoyment of the game.
