As an ICF-accredited Business and Personal Coaching practice with 20 years of experience in fast moving start ups and SMEs, we help you grow your business without sacrificing your wellbeing or risking burnout. Our structured, action-focused approach is rooted in psychology based coaching, enabling you to find the solutions that work for you and while being fully supported by us.
Our Approach
Portall is a coaching practice built on psychological insight, practical experience, and a deep respect for the complexity of our lives. We’re passionate about supporting people through personal and professional change whether that’s navigating career transitions, managing leadership challenges, or making sense of what’s no longer working in our personal lives.
Our work stems from evidence based approaches and shaped by each person we work with. It’s reflective, person-centred, and always tailored to the individual or business challenge at hand.
We don’t offer quick fixes or easy answers. Instead, we create a space where clients can explore what’s really going on beneath the surface, and begin to understand the patterns that shape their decisions, relationships, and direction. From there, we build an action plan together: one that supports meaningful, sustainable progress over time.
Common challenges we help overcome
“why do I keep hitting the same patterns in my working relationships?”
This kind of work often means looking beyond surface behaviours to what’s happening underneath – learned responses, assumptions, past dynamics. We explore these patterns thoughtfully and constructively, so clients can develop new ways of showing up.
“I’ve outgrown my role but I’m not sure what comes next.”
We help clients step back and make sense of what’s changed – in their work, their values, or their energy for the role they’re in. Together, we map out what’s missing, what’s meaningful, and what kinds of next steps are worth exploring.
“I’m returning to work after a break and want to rebuild my confidence and focus.”
We help clients reconnect with their strengths, reshape their narrative, and manage the practical and emotional aspects of re-entry. It’s not about “getting back to who you were” – it’s about moving forward in a way that fits who you are now.
“I’m starting a new role and i want to kick it off in the best way possible”
We support new and evolving leaders to think critically about their values, their voice, and the kind of leader they want to be, with tools to develop confidence and effectiveness without sacrificing authenticity. We’ll help you to make the crucial first 90 days in your new role count.
“I want to change something – but I’m not even sure what that is yet.”
Sometimes people arrive with just a vague sense of dissatisfaction or restlessness. That’s enough. We start by listening, reflecting, and gently working towards more definition without rushing the process.
“I need to make a big decision but can’t seem to move forward.”
We don’t tell clients what to do – but we do help them get clear on what matters, untangle competing priorities, and test different options in a structured, reflective way. We’ll use a combination of visualisation exercises and critical thinking to support your decision making.
