Emergent Coaching
Coaching for People Navigating Significant Change
I provide confidential coaching for founders, CEOs and senior leaders navigating significant change as you consider, plan and execute important shifts in your work and life.
Investing in yourself and your people
Emergent offers strictly confidential coaching for founders and senior leaders operating in high-stakes environments.
My work combines structured coaching with lived experience in complex clinical and business settings, alongside training in Psychosynthesis, a depth-based approach that supports not only professional growth, but the inner challenges that sit beneath leadership.
I have worked in high-intensity environments throughout my career, from working as a clinician in emergency and critical healthcare to building and leading a business as a founder CEO. I understand the responsibility, pressure and isolation that can accompany leadership, particularly at moments of transition.
I work with founders and senior leaders navigating pressure, transition and the points at which performance, health and identity intersect.
I do not claim to have all the answers. My role is to think with you, challenge you when needed, and walk alongside you, including in uncertainty, as you find steady ground and move forward with intention.

How I Support Clients
What appears as a business challenge is often something deeper where identity, energy, health and capacity intersect.
My work focuses across three connected areas:
1. Turning points
These moments are rarely purely strategic. They often involve deeper shifts in how you see yourself and what comes next.
This work may involve:
Identity formation and evolution
Navigating uncertainty and emotional pressure
Redefining role, purpose and direction
Building stability through significant change
- Working with new diagnoses & emerging health challenges
2. Burnout Prevention & Recovery
High performers can operate under sustained strain for long periods before the cost becomes visible.
It is common to push through fatigue until it becomes unsustainable.
This work supports:
- Developing approaches to reduce the risk of burnout
- Rebuilding energy and resilience
- Understanding the deeper drivers behind burnout
- Restoring balance without diminishing ambition
- Exploring whether your current chapter has reached its natural conclusion — and what comes next
Burnout is rarely just about workload.
It is often about meaning, identity and alignment.
3. Neurodiversity
Many founders and senior leaders are neurodivergent, whether formally recognised or not, and often operate at a high level because they think differently.
This work supports:
- Understanding your patterns and strengths
- Navigating overwhelm, intensity and cognitive load
- Improving communication and working relationships
- Building structures that support sustainable performance
- Pro’s and cons of seeking diagnosis
Depth, Creativity and Steady Ground
Major transitions require more than strategy. They require space — to think clearly, process honestly and imagine what comes next.
My work is informed by over 20 years of mindfulness practice and a long-standing interest in creativity as a tool for reinvention. These are practical methods for cultivating emotional steadiness, clarity and direction and creativity when familiar structures fall away.
Where appropriate, I integrate structured reflective practices and offer tailored tools to support each client.
A Confidential Space to Think Clearly
Whether you are launching something new, navigating pressure, approaching exit or adjusting to life beyond the business — coaching provides a confidential space to slow down, reflect and move forward with greater clarity and stability.
Leadership can be isolating. Significant transitions even more so.
You do not need to navigate them alone.
A structured way to work with adversity
Goals
What are you trying to create or move toward?
This foundational step clarifies what matters most to you — not just in business terms but in how you want your life, identity and work to connect. We will explore what success feels like, why it matters, and what a meaningful outcome looks and sounds like for you at this point in your journey.
A clearly articulated goal gives direction, focus and purpose to everything that follows.
Reality
Where are you now, honestly and fully?
This phase is about getting clear on your current situation. The facts, the context, the stress points and the hidden dynamics that are shaping your experience. We explore not just what’s happening externally, but what’s happening inside you: assumptions, beliefs, habits, energy and patterns of response.
Understanding reality is essential before you can move forward with confidence.
Opportunities
What possibilities are truly available to you now?
With clarity about your goals and your current reality, we then explore what could be. Not by imposing solutions, but by opening up space to see options that weren’t obvious before, including those you might previously have dismissed or not considered.
This is where creativity, curiosity and honest inquiry uncover potential pathways that align with who you are and where you want to go.
The Will
What next steps will move you toward your goal?
Ideas become real when translated into action. In this phase we shape the possibilities into a practical and anchored way forward. What you will do, when you will do it, and what will support you in staying steady and accountable.
This is not about prescriptions. It’s about co-creating a plan you want to follow and that respects your context and aspirations.
Testimonials
Positive Reviews From Our Clients
Broadcast Journalist
I have worked in depth with Lyndon as a peer coach, and his insight and quick mind have greatly supported my professional growth and helped me make the best decisions for myself. He brings together the wisdom of his business experience with the Psychosynthesis approach, offering a truly holistic perspective that resonates deeply with me. I cannot recommend Lyndon highly enough — the best proof being that we continue our peer coaching sessions to this day.
Founder – Brain Based Coaching
I highly recommend Lyndon for business coaching. As a clinician by background and now founder of a behavioral health tech startup, my sessions with Lyndon have been an invaluable space to bring any questions about my business to a trusted, experienced pair of eyes. Lyndon creates a very warm and empathic dynamic, where all thoughts and dilemmas are welcome. His vast experience and expertise are evident and very reassuring. I left sessions with more clarity on my goals and, crucially, how to tackle obstacles getting in my way. What is unique about Lyndon is that his own experiences as both a clinician in the NHS and in entrepreneurship mean he understands first hand the critical challenge facing clinical entrepreneurs: the paramount need to prioritise user safety and duty of care alongside building a viable business. This is a rare combination of expertise. I am very lucky to have crossed paths with Lyndon and look forward to staying in touch for more wisdom as my business plans unfold
Director, Product Management of AI & Machine Learning commercial software at IQVIA
Lyndon was always the gold standard of relationship management with senior stakeholders in the hospitals or project leads (typically CIO and CCIO, as well as regional project executives). Diligent and detail focused, Lyndon always ensured his work was aligned to the overall goals of the project, and the steps needed to get there.
He also knew when others had more expertise, and was an expert communicator in working with myself and others to fill the gaps. Never one to shy away from the difficult question, this skill is invaluable.
He was a pleasure to work with, balancing professionalism with humanity, and it showed with how many of his colleagues viewed him as a close friend
Head of Multinational Trade, AIG
I had the opportunity to work with Lyndon through his coaching, and I can confidently say it was a transformative experience. He brings a rare combination of deep insight, strategic clarity, and grounded presence to his work. Lyndon doesn’t offer surface-level advice—he gets to the heart of challenges and helps uncover the real work that needs to be done, both personally and professionally.
His ability to hold space, ask the right questions, and challenge with compassion makes him an effective coach.
Professor of Enhanced Innovation
Lyndon has a charming manner and an impressive grasp of the facts which allows him to be authoritative and to have a ready answer to the many questions that we and our stakeholders put to him. He demonstrates a commitment to patient-centeredness which is commendable and it has been a pleasure to have worked with him here in Wales.
VP of Business Development at BlueSkeye AI with expertise in AI and healthcare
Working with Lyndon is a great pleasure. He brings robust medical and pragmatic insights to the deployment of digital technology in healthcare and adds enormous value, both commercial and social, to the programmes of work in which he is involved.
CEO and founder of world’s largest personal health records company
Lyndon comes up with ideas I could not have foreseen. I noticed even the bad ones were really useful to shake the team into finding better solutions, faster. So I always listen when he talks.
He also has a positive view of people, assuming the best intentions in a way that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Finally, he is an excellent judge of people. I have several colleagues who we hired because Lyndon called me and said “hire this person”. They are some of our best hires. He specialises in uncovering great people, treated badly, hidden from hiring by their modest nature.
Consultant Anaesthetist & Clinical Entrepreneur
I’m a senior NHS consultant with many years experience of leadership and service redesign. Yet none of this helped me navigate the governance path for spread and adoption of a digital innovation I had developed within our Trust. Having previously found coaching a valuable tool to personal development I approached Lyndon through the NHSE CE Programme. Lyndon has acted as a mentor and coach to me over the last 6 months. He has a natural ability to guide others and through personal reflection and development helped me overcome what at times felt like insurmountable obstacles. I would highly recommend Lyndon as a coach and mentor.
Rare and Specialty Medicine, Sciensus
Lyndon works with great integrity and has a broad knowledge of all aspects of digital health care and its implications for users, providers, commissioners and the health system as a whole. He is well respected by his clients and has the ability to think out of the box and come up with novel solutions. A real team player and asset to any company.
