Your career looks great on paper.

But you no longer feel in control.

I’m Richard Hooper, executive coach for senior professionals who take their career choices as seriously as they take their work.

You're performing well but operating without a plan.

You don't want the decisions that shape your career to keep happening around you.

Something needs to shift — and figuring it out alone isn't getting you anywhere.

How we’d work together

I work with clients 1:1 over a structured programme of sessions. Each conversation is focused, confidential, and built around what matters most to you — whether that's a specific decision, a skill you want to sharpen, or a direction you need to figure out. The starting point is a short, no-obligation call to talk about what's on your mind.

Sprint

3 sessions. You have something specific you want to get right — a decision, a conversation, or a situation that requires you to think clearly and act with confidence.

Clarity

6 sessions. You want to step back and look at the bigger picture — where you are, what's working, what isn't, and what you want from what comes next.

Retained

Monthly, ongoing. A thinking partner to help you navigate key challenges whilst developing your self-awareness as a leader.

Who I work with

I work with senior business services professionals in law firms. I've spent over twenty years in this space, helping people like you navigate key career decisions. I also work with professionals outside the legal sector who are facing similar challenges.

  • "I wasn't sure I really needed coaching before the sessions but can really see the benefits now. It was easy, relaxed, and after each session I felt energised and positive."

    Richard - Head of Financial Systems, Law Firm

  • "Moving forward with more confidence and trust in my own judgment has reduced the amount of analysis I need to do. My approach to tackling problems and committing to the necessary next steps has definitely sharpened."

    Legal Tech Founder

  • "The shift in my confidence, clarity, and overall mindset speaks for itself. Your approach is both practical and encouraging, and you have made a genuine difference to how I think about and approach my career."

    Head of Change Management, Law Firm

  • "You helped me understand why I reacted in certain ways, and then guided me toward clear tools I could immediately apply in real situations."

    Senior Finance Manager, Law Firm

  • "He asked thought-provoking questions which resulted in some hard realisations. These have greatly improved the way I view myself, approach my work, and my overall outlook."

    Senior Project Manager, Magic Circle Law Firm

  • "It's a safe, non-judgmental environment where with guidance you come to realisations yourself. You're not being told what to do — you're being asked questions that lead you to discover the answers that are already in you."

    Andy - Recruitment Business Owner

  • "Having been with my firm for 18 years, actually leaving felt overwhelming and unachievable. Through coaching I came to terms with putting myself first. I'm now comfortably considering vacancies and making applications."

    Senior Compliance Manager, Law Firm
