Interview with Impact
This six-session coaching programme is designed to help professionals step into interviews with clarity and confidence. Led by a chartered psychologist, it combines evidence-based psychological insight with practical tools. Participants build the right mindset, prepare compelling evidence of impact, demystify psychometric assessments, and practise interviews in a psychologically safe environment. They learn to manage performance anxiety, communicate their value effectively, and reframe interviews as opportunities, not threats. It’s a high-impact, personalised intervention that unlocks potential and ensures your best people are ready to rise.
"Secured my promotion..."
I really appreciated Emma’s help preparing for interview. I secured my promotion earlier this year. In fact, my boss said I aced the interview panel!

6-Session Interview Coaching Programme
Session 1: Problem Identification & Goal Setting
We begin by understanding what’s getting in your way. This session explores your previous interview experiences, current challenges, and what success would look like for you. We’ll set clear, tailored goals to guide your coaching journey and establish a psychologically safe space for reflection and growth.
Session 2: Mastering Your Mindset
Imposter thoughts, fear of judgement, and harsh self-talk can all erode interview performance. In this session, we identify the unhelpful thinking patterns holding you back and introduce practical strategies to think more skilfully about yourself, your abilities, and the interview process. The goal: less anxiety, more clarity.
Session 3: Leadership Skills Audit
Here, we assess your strengths and development areas using a leadership framework relevant to your role. You'll gain deeper insight into how you show up as a leader and how to align your experiences with what interviewers are really looking for — confidence grounded in self-awareness.
Session 4: Evidence & Impact – Interview Preparation
You’ll learn a structured method to gather compelling evidence from your career, so you feel clear and confident about what to say. We focus on the how, not just the what — helping you speak with impact, authenticity, and fluency. You’ll also learn practical ways to remember and apply your examples under pressure.
Session 5: Demystifying Psychometrics
We take the fear out of assessments. This session provides general advice and preparation strategies for commonly used psychometric tools, such as personality profiles, situational judgement tests, and cognitive ability assessments. You’ll feel more informed, more in control, and better prepared.
Session 6: Interview Practice & Feedback
In our final session, we simulate a realistic interview tailored to your target role. You’ll have the opportunity to practise handling questions, demonstrate your strengths, and apply everything you’ve learned. You’ll receive structured, constructive feedback to refine your approach and boost your confidence even further.

 I got my promotion!
“I worked with Emma in the build up to applying for a promotion, having low confidence and previous failed attempts at the recruitment process. From 10 minutes into our first session I knew Emma's style was going to work and felt an instant connection with her engaging style and good humour; I was comfortable sharing things that were quite raw. What was remarkable was how quickly Emma helped me get out of my head and begin to remove the negative energy that I was surrounding myself with. By my final session I was able to create a new narrative for myself and be more of the person I had potential to be by removing my own barriers. My final endorsement is that I nailed the interview and secured the promotion."Â

From anxiety to confidence….
Having struggled on and off coping in high-pressure situations like interviews and presentations—I reached out to David for coaching. Knowing his specialist background in psychology and his impressive career, I was genuinely amazed that I could access someone with his level of expertise.
David delivered exactly what I needed. He guided me with care and clarity, offering practical tools and techniques that I could use immediately to feel better, as well as strategies to support long-term progress.
Thanks to David’s support, I now cope much more effectively in high-stakes scenarios. I’m grateful for his insight and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to reduce anxiety and build confidence under pressure.

I got the job!
After a series of unsuccessful interviews my confidence was low and I felt stuck. Emma’s practical and focussed coaching helped me turn this around; Emma gave me practical tips about how to get key points across in interview, approach interviews in a positive way and improve my confidence. Emma also helped me approach difficult management conversations with greater confidence. As a result, I have got the job I wanted on promotion and am hugely grateful to Emma for her help. I will take the techniques she has taught me into my new role. I could not recommend Emma more highly.

 Things feel very different now!
Working with David has changed everything about how I handle stress. I no longer hold onto and carry stress instead I call it a cost of doing interesting work and let it go. It is not personal anymore and that's huge for me.
