About Marion

Picture

​"Marion has a naturally empathetic style that makes one feel heard. This completely selfless approach enables her really to seek to understand - a critical element in the coaching process.  This maturity in conversations brings a warmth and wonderful pace when working with Marion.  She combines these strengths with a great deal of wisdom and knowledge around organisational dynamics and professional challenges."  ​
Marion is a qualified executive coach specialising in leadership and professional growth. She trained at and graduated from the Tavistock Institute in London and continues to be engaged with Tavistock work, as well as undertaking ongoing professional supervision through the Institute. Marion has also taken part in further specialist training through Tavistock Consulting, part of the Tavistock & Portman NHS Trust, and at OFEK International Group Relations. From the outset, Marion has coached clients from a variety of work sectors and on a broad range of issues.  She is particularly well placed to understand the professional services and commercial industries after two decades’ experience working as a lawyer and in management at a leading international law firm in the City of London. 
​

Marion’s coaching practice is based in London, where she lives with her family.
