Get ready to transform your life

My name is Garry Meehan and I am a certified professional co-active coach (CPCC).

Before training as a life coach, I spent many years as a teacher in inner-city schools, but my working life has also encompassed tree surgery, artisan leather-making and designing and making wooden furniture. As such, I understand the psychological and practical resources we need to make changes in our lives.

Many people reach a stage where they feel stuck or confused about how and when to move forward. If this sounds like you, I can support you, using a range of proven tools and techniques, to explore new possibilities and help you rediscover your true values and passions.

Sessions may be weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, with an option to coach outdoors, or speak on Zoom.

Why choose me?

Communication: Effective communication is essential for building rapport, exploring emotions and providing feedback. As an educator, I have learned to convey information in a clear and engaging way.

Problem-solving: My background in teaching has involved finding solutions creatively and with attention to detail. I can help clients identify obstacles, brainstorm solutions and design action plans.

Empathy: I have worked with a broad range of people from different backgrounds, cultures and of all ages, enabling me to bring a deep sense of understanding to my coaching practice.

Creativity: As a maker of artisan leather pieces, I have a creative mindset that can be applied to coaching. I can help you think outside the box and explore new possibilities.

Coaching outdoors: Being in nature is proven to be highly beneficial, mentally and physically. I offer the opportunity to allow the natural environment to support our decision-making. Walking with a client can be side-by-side, or even on the end of a phone, each in our own green space.

Emily Horan, Writer & Editor
Coming from a place of decision fatigue, Garry helped me create space to breathe and reflect, at times seemingly impossible. Garry’s coaching skills, combined with his deep well of experience across diverse professional settings, offered perspectives that were both grounding and inspiring. As I flip through my notes from our 10 sessions, I rediscover precious insights that helped me reignite my inner light and carve a path forward with more clarity and playfulness.
I can genuinely recommend Garry to anyone in need of reimagining our reality and taking the first steps necessary for meaningful change.
Banafshe Hejazi, Human Rights Activist
I had 10 life coaching sessions with Garry and it was honestly transformative. Throughout the sessions I realised there were different ways to think about not just my career goals but all of my personal goals and I've come away with tools that have genuinely changed the way I go about organising my life. One of the main things that has come from the sessions looking back is a deeper enjoyment in organising my goals, and a much deeper sense of accountability that has stayed with me in the weeks since.
Robert Hill, Software Developer
I have been coached by Garry for about 4 months. It helped me personally and professionally, especially about setting priorities and finding balance. Garry helped me to prioritise activities that bring me joy. Joy should be around more often, look for it daily.
Garry created a safe space, kept me accountable for my progress and was a true ally in becoming a bettor version of myself.
Eléonore Gluntz, Account Executive, Northern Europe & DACH at Batch.
My sessions with Garry have been truly transformative. He helped me focus on what really matters, guiding me to see things from a perspective I hadn’t considered before.
Through his thoughful questions, I’ve learnt to challenge my own expectations - both of myself and others, which has made me so much less stressed and overwhelmed.
Instead of overthinking and making things worse, I’ve now learnt to approach situations with more clarity and balance.
I’m incredibly grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for meaningful personal growth.
