Perform well. Live well. Navigate what comes next.

Welcome to

The Charlesworth Consultancy

Helping high-achieving professionals build successful, sustainable careers and lives.

How I Can Help

I work with professionals who wish to:

  • Work out what comes next — whether that means progressing, changing direction or rethinking what you want from your career.

  • Perform with greater confidence — particularly in demanding, high-stakes or senior roles.

  • Handle pressure more sustainably — without allowing work to consume everything else.

  • Improve your energy and wellbeing — by looking at the habits and patterns that support how you work and live.

  • Create better boundaries — and a healthier relationship with work.

  • Navigate change — including the impact of AI and the changing nature of professional life.

  • Make an important decision — with space to step back, think clearly and see the bigger picture.

A Different Approach to Professional Performance

Professional performance isn't just about skills, productivity or working harder. How we think, make decisions, communicate and lead is closely connected to how we manage pressure, maintain our energy and live outside work.

My approach brings together more than 20 years' experience in demanding professional environments with evidence-informed thinking about performance, behaviour, wellbeing and the changing world of work.

It is practical, thoughtful and tailored to you — helping you step back, see things more clearly and make changes that work in the real world.

Demanding Professional Life
I spent more than 20 years as a litigation lawyer, working in the UK and abroad, so I understand the pressures, expectations and realities of high-performing professional environments.

Whole Picture
Career, performance and wellbeing are interconnected. We will look not only at what you want to achieve, but at the habits, pressures and priorities that shape how you work and live.

Experience with Evidence
My approach draws on executive coaching training with Cambridge University, Lifestyle and Wellness coaching training with Harvard Medical School Executive Education, and my work as a member of the UK Parliament’s All-Party Parliamentary Group on AI
