Find your starting point
Four plain questions, no email needed. You will get one suggestion and its price. If you would rather talk it through first, use the enquiry form further down.
This is a guide to which format may suit you. It is not an assessment of any kind.
Three ways to work with us
Every format is led by a coach, kept small and built around practice rather than theory.

How a session runs
- Arrive and settle10 minutes. Tea, names, and the ground rules: you choose what to share, and what is said stays in the room.
- Practise in pairs40 minutes. Short, structured conversations with a clear prompt, then a change of partner.
- Look at what worked30 minutes. The coach points out what you did well and one thing to adjust.
- Try one new thing30 minutes. A slightly harder exercise, always optional, always in a small group.
- Plan your week10 minutes. One small, specific thing to try before next time.
Questions people ask
Is this therapy?
No. This is coaching, not treatment. We teach practical skills for conversations and we practise them together. We do not diagnose, treat or give advice about any medical or mental health condition. If you are struggling with anxiety or low mood, please talk to your GP. Coaching is not a substitute for that.
Who is it for?
Adults aged 18 and over who want conversations to feel easier. You do not need any experience, and you do not need to have a particular reason.
Will I have to speak in front of the group?
No. Almost all of the work is in pairs. You choose what to share, and nobody is asked to perform.
What if I cannot make a date?
You can move to another date, or have a full refund, up to seven days before. After that we can offer a place on a later date.
How do the online sessions work?
By video call, with the same small groups as in Lincoln. You will need a quiet space, a camera and a microphone. We send the link on booking.
Is the room in Lincoln accessible?
The room is step-free and we can make adjustments if you tell us in advance. Online sessions can include captions on request.
What people say
I booked the workshop expecting to want to leave at the break. By the end I had swapped numbers with someone I met in the second exercise.
Six weeks with the same small group made the difference. Starting a conversation at work no longer takes a run-up.
Three sessions before my sister's wedding. My coach gave me one thing to practise each time and it was exactly enough.
