Schools and Charities
With many years of leadership across the charity and education sectors, I bring a deep understanding of the challenges faced by those working in complex, values-driven organisations. I have worked extensively in coaching, mentoring, and supporting individuals and groups at different stages of responsibility, from senior leaders to middle managers and those stepping into leadership for the first time.
Leading in schools and charities can often feel isolating. I specialise in partnering with individuals and groups to navigate the demands of their roles and the contexts in which they work. Whether you’re managing change, balancing competing priorities, handling complex stakeholder relationships, supporting and developing people, overcoming imposter syndrome, or simply seeking a confidential, non-judgemental thinking partner, I offer bespoke coaching to individuals and groups, designed for your needs and circumstances.
Support is available through a range of coaching and development opportunities, shaped by context, role, and need.
-
Individual Coaching
One-to-one coaching provides a confidential, focused space to step back, think clearly, and work through the challenges of leadership in demanding contexts. It supports reflection, decision-making, confidence in role, and sustainable ways of leading, shaped around individual priorities and circumstances.
-
Group Coaching
Group coaching offers a powerful collective approach to leadership and professional development. Working alongside peers enables shared learning, constructive challenge, and fresh perspectives, supporting clarity, confidence, and connection through a structured and supportive coaching process.

Leadership Training For Schools
For schools specifically, I offer leadership training for middle and early senior leaders, delivered in partnership with Louise Davis of Find Your Way. These programmes combine practical leadership development with reflective space, supporting participants to build confidence, capability, resilience and impact.
Budgets in education and the charity sector are pressured, and coaching can feel like a luxury—even when it makes a real difference. My aim is to make this valuable support accessible for individuals and groups in schools and charities. Please get in touch to discuss pricing options.

“Coaching sessions with Samantha gave me the safe place and opportunity to explore my strengths and areas for development as a senior leader, the dynamic of leading a team, understanding colleagues behaviour and attitudes and how to use this knowledge to help with my interactions with them.”
