The Collaboration

Impact Coaching brings together Emma Turner and Dr David Purves, both chartered psychologists, with decades of experience of coaching leaders across diverse fields.

Emma Turner CPsychol

Emma is a Chartered Coaching and Occupational Psychologist with over 30 years’ experience working with senior leaders across government, regulators and complex organisations. Alongside her independent executive coaching practice, Emma co-founded Impact Coaching to enable collaborative work and shared professional dialogue.

Dr David Purves CPsychol

David is a Chartered Psychologist with extensive experience supporting leaders through complexity, transition and challenge. Alongside his independent coaching and counselling practice, David co-founded Impact Coaching with the same aims as Emma. His work focuses on reflective practice, leadership judgement and helping leaders develop clarity and confidence in demanding environments.

Shared thinking

Alongside coaching work, we periodically record and share conversations exploring leadership, psychology and professional judgement.

These conversations are intended as reflective resources, drawing on experience rather than offering prescriptive advice.
