System Diagnostic
A single session.
A clear read on what’s actually running underneath the pattern that’s costing you.
You already know the pattern. It's the same conflict resurfacing with the same person, the inability to switch off even when the calendar clears, or the sense that you're carrying weight nobody assigned you and nobody else can see. You don't need another course on productivity habits - you need someone who can name the actual mechanism and tell you what to do about it.
What it is
The System Diagnostic is a single, self-contained 90-minute session built to do one thing: give you an expert, clinically-grounded read on a specific pattern - and a name for it you can actually use.
It starts before we speak. A short intake form goes out once you book and we use a standard System Diagnostic Contract, so the 90 minutes goes straight to the pattern itself rather than background-filling.
In the session, we work the pattern together: where it shows up, what it's protecting you from, and what it's actually costing you day to day.
Within 48 hours, you get a written Diagnostic Map - a short, focused report naming the pattern, the mechanism underneath it, and one or two concrete moves you can make immediately, whether or not we ever work together again.
Who it's for
Founders, executives, and leaders - including LGBTQ+ leaders carrying the extra weight of code-switching, hyper-vigilance, and representation load - who want an expert diagnosis of one specific, recurring problem, without signing up for an ongoing engagement to get it.
This isn't a general "get to know each other" conversation - that's what the free Strategy Session is for. This is a working session, priced and structured like one.
What you walk away with
A named diagnosis of the pattern, not just a description of the symptoms
A written Diagnostic Map you keep and can return to
One or two concrete, specific next moves
A clear-eyed view on whether ongoing coaching is the right next step — with zero pressure either way
Why this session works
I trained as a psychotherapist before I trained as a coach - EMCC Senior Practitioner, BACP Senior Accredited, UKCP registered - which is what makes a single session actually useful rather than surface-level.
You're not getting generic advice; you're getting a diagnosis grounded in how these patterns actually form and hold.
Price
£375 - one 90-minute session, intake form included, written Diagnostic Map included.
Frequently Asked Questions
A few things people ask
-
The Strategy Session is a conversation to see if ongoing coaching is the right fit - no diagnostic work happens there. The System Diagnostic is the working session: you get the diagnosis and the written output regardless of what you decide to do next.
-
Some people do, some people don't - both are a good outcome. If it makes sense, we'll talk about what ongoing coaching could look like. There's no obligation either way.
-
Yes. Everything in the session and the Diagnostic Map stays between us.

No. "Diagnosis" here means naming a leadership or behavioural pattern - not a clinical assessment. This session doesn't identify or diagnose conditions such as ADHD, autism, or anxiety, and it isn't a substitute for one. If something comes up that points toward needing a clinical opinion, I'll say so directly and point you toward the right kind of support.
