'Coaching you into a better relationship'

About Us
Rick Hughes (MPhil, BA (Hons), DipC, DipM)

Rick has been coaching people for the past 8 years. His coaching skills have developed through his 9 years as a qualified Counsellor and uses a solution-focused approach with other goal-focused techniques. It was his interest in relationship work that became the catalyst for his career change in 1995 from business into people development. Since then he has specialised in the field of relationship development. His particular interest is to work with individuals and couples to maximise potential and seek out the optimum relationship opportunities. Rick has interests in a number of other related areas.

Dorrit Prichard (BA (Hons), DipC)

Dorrit has been working with clients for 12 years after completing a Diploma Course in Counselling at Strathclyde University. She has worked with many individuals and couples, and has been coaching for 5 years. Her particular interest is in relationships and how we relate to each other, both the positive and the negative aspects, and on how past experiences shape our present and future – if we let it! She has a person-centred training, but now works in an integrative way, adapting her model to suit the person or couple she is working with, and always working to bring out the potential in people and relationships.


We have a network of local Coaches who can be called upon for additional or more specialist work. All Coaches subscribe to the Code of Ethics & Good Practice of the Association for Coaching.
