Living with Presence
A 1:1 coaching journey to build presence, deepen awareness, and embody what you care about
Do you sometimes feel you’re living life away from your body? We can all too easily ‘get stuck in our heads’ and reside here. Do you wonder if you were able to be in a relationship with your whole self you could lead a more fulfilling and successful life?
Maybe you’re moving through a professional or personal transition and want some support? You’re frustrated that you often return to the same patterns that keep you stuck. You’re fed up by-passing what’s uncomfortable and you long to bring your whole self to the table.
Perhaps you’ve worked with someone and talked - yet there remains part of you that is undiscovered. Maybe you can see where you want to go, but lack the commitment or motivation to take the meaningful actions that will take you forward.
You feel that if you really learned to live from your intuition, your centre, exciting possibilities would open for you. You sense there’s a deeper journey for you and you want someone to lean into, be accountable to, and to ‘walk with’ while you move through change.
“Duncan brings wisdom, groundedness, and a presence to the space that provides a gateway to deeper work. Working with breath and body practices took me to insights I wouldn’t have got to had I just responded to questions from my ‘head’.”
— Clive Maxheath, Executive Coach
LIVING WITH PRESENCE
You need a space where you can feel seen, valued and supported. A safe place to explore and learn how to make choices and take actions from a grounded and centred place. Somewhere where you can show up with uncomfortable feelings and work through what’s challenging.
I’ll walk beside you in your exploration. I’ll support you to use the wisdom in your body to tune in to a more profound sense of self and of your place and purpose in the world. Along the way I’ll be your thought-partner and sounding board, and I’ll help you discover practices and take actions that will make a real difference to how you show up in your daily life.
HOW IT WORKS
• We start with a complimentary 30-minute conversation and see if we are a good fit
• We’ll agree to an arc of sessions over which we map a commitment to practice and your outcomes. I recommend a minimum of 3 months coaching and practice to feel the benefits of creating change
• Sessions are 50 minutes within an hour framework
• We work either on Zoom or in person at my home in Twickenham. We’ll agree on homework between sessions and a weekly check-in on your process over text or voice message
AS A RESULT OF COMMITMENT TO AN ARC OF TIME YOU WILL
• Take new actions with intention and clarity
• Make more intuitive and grounded choices
• Feel an embodied sense of your mission and purpose
• Discover a felt sense of being that will inform your connections and interactions
• Fulfil on commitments you make during the process
• Develop a sense of authenticity and ease in your own skin
• Learn to integrate somatic practice into your daily life
• 24/7 voice message support throughout
• My support and guidance

Jump in and commit to a period of exploration, observation and practice. During the sessions you’ll work with commitments and homework and I’ll support you with material for your learning. Sessions are usually weekly or fortnightly, though can be spread to suit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do the sessions take place?
Sessions take place on Zoom or at my home in South West London.
Do you work outside?
I do. Working in nature has many benefits, so depending on your location we can meet at a park or RHS/NT property.
I am not sure I can afford full time coaching at this time, do you offer pro bono sessions?
It's important I offer pro bono places and I coach them depending on individual circumstances. Please get in touch if you'd like to talk about this possibility.
Do you offer one-off sessions?
I do, and we can tailor sessions to suit. However, committing to a longer period gives time between sessions for you to be ‘in process’ and take on new practices.
“Duncan brings an insightful, calm and gently encouraging presence to our sessions, supporting me through guided conversations and body work to explore for myself what it is I truly want to work towards. The benefits of this in my personal and professional life have been immeasurable. I am not the same person I was 2 years ago.”
