Our story

I've been a coach for the past 20 years but my background is in the performing arts. I trained as an actor and it was whilst I was performing at the Old Vic theatre in the West End that I experienced a moment as that changed my career path: I walked out on stage and I froze from stage fright. I could feel hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at me and I could not move and I did not have any idea what I was meant to be saying. The moment was only broken when the actress opposite me slapped me- fortunately it worked in the context. Immediately I was out of my head and back into the scene. It was at that moment that I realised that by shifting your mindset you could create a whole different reality, which was the spark to my career change.
My background in acting has been a fantastic foundation to my coaching and this, together with my subsequent training in psychology and neuroscience, is really the bedrock of the Vermilion approach. Our coaching comes out of a desire to see people shine to become great communicators. Inevitably it's not just the work life that is transformed- I'm always humbled to see how clients' wider lives are also impacted by our coaching.
Vermillion coaching brings together a group of highly experienced coaches from different areas of communication, so when you come to us you have access to this wealth of expertise. In this way we are different from other communication coaching companies. Our approach is truly bespoke for every individual and team.

Vermillion was inspired by my love for coaching professionals to excel in all areas of communication.

I’ve worked as a coach for over twenty years and I wanted to establish a consultancy with a group of highly experienced coaches to assist clients to achieve a level of excellence in their communication, be it in their presentation skills, confident pitching or interview technique.

This gives you the opportunity to create a course that is genuinely tailor-made for you, so that you can be confident that whatever your communication issue, our coaching and training can address it.
