'Enchanté' - I’m Stephen
Originally from London and now based in Morzine, the French Alps.
I work with people who want a
space to pause and reflect on what’s
happening now,recognise what matters most,and decide what feels like the right next step.
...
My coaching style is calm, reflective, and centered on helping you find your own way forward.
Conversation. Clarity. Change.

Coffee Conversation...
The first step is usually just a
relaxed chat over coffee.A chance to talk about what’s important to you.No pressure. No expectation.
And no decision to make.
...Just a conversation.

Hey, it's good to see you.I'd love to buy you a coffee and just chat for a while.
No agenda. No Pressure.
Just whatever feels important to you.
If you're in Morzine, we could meet for a coffee or go for a walk.
If you're further away, I'll stick the kettle on and we can chat online.
Just let me know...
If it's helpful, that's great.
If not, we've just shared a coffee
and a conversation....Stephen

A little more about me…
I came to coaching through gradually recognising that the way I was living and working no longer felt like me.For over twenty years I worked as a quantity surveyor in construction, in busy, high-pressure environments where responsibility and long hours were simply part of the job. From the outside it looked like a good career. From the inside, I slowly realised that constant pressure was coming at a cost.I've also lived with Type 1 diabetes for more than twenty-five years. Alongside an active outdoor life, it's taught me a lot about balance, energy, and paying attention before things drift too far out of alignment.Following my passion for snowboarding eventually brought me to the French Alps. Living here has reinforced something I'd already started to learn: life doesn't always need a dramatic reinvention. Sometimes it simply asks us to slow down enough to notice what's important.Those experiences shape how I coach today.
How I work...
I don't believe most people need another person telling them what to do.More often, they need the time and space to hear themselves think.My role isn't to provide answers or push you towards a particular outcome.It's to slow things down, ask thoughtful questions, notice what seems important, and help you recognise what matters most to you.That's where every conversation begins.

The meaning behind Cairn...
If you've spent time in the mountains, you've probably come across a cairn.A small stack of stones, quietly marking the path.I've always been drawn to them.Partly because I spend so much time in the mountains, but also because of my Irish roots. Cairns have long carried a sense of marking places, remembering journeys, and quietly helping people find their way.When I was looking for a name for my coaching, I kept coming back to that image.Not because a cairn tells you where to go.It doesn't.It simply reassures you that you're still on the path, or invites you to pause before choosing which way to go next.That felt like the kind of coaching I wanted to offer.Not directing.Not persuading.Just creating a little more clarity, so the next step becomes easier to see.
...Why cairns matter...I like cairns because they don't demand your attention.They simply sit there until you need them.Sometimes they're a reassurance that you're heading in the right direction.Sometimes they're a reminder to pause before choosing which way to go next.They're quiet markers in places where the path isn't always obvious.
...Coaching feels similar...Life doesn't always become clearer by moving faster.Sometimes clarity comes from slowing down.Having someone who's happy to listen.Someone who's curious enough to notice what you might be overlooking.Not to direct you.Not to fix you.Just to help you recognise what matters most before deciding what comes next.
...What Cairn Coaching is about...That's what Cairn Coaching is here to offer.A place to pause.A place to reflect.A conversation that helps you find your own way forward.Sometimes that's all that's needed.Just a little more clarity before taking the next step.

The Cairn Approach...
Meet Each Other...
If we haven't met before, the best place to start is usually with a coffee, a walk or an online conversation. It's simply a chance to get to know each other and explore what's on your mind.
...
Next Steps...
If you decide you'd like to explore coaching, we can have a short complimentary Next Steps call. It's a chance to agree what you'd like to focus on, answer any remaining questions, and make sure we're both clear before we start.
...
Coaching Journey...
If coaching feels like the right next step, here's how I keep things simple.I usually recommend starting with a four-conversation coaching journey.Four conversations are often enough to make meaningful progress. From there, we can decide together what feels. For some people, that's a good place to finish. Others choose to continue with regular coaching conversations.The aim isn't to sign up for as many sessions as possible.The aim is to have conversations that are genuinely helpful.
Session Pricing
Single Session
€90(50 minutes)
Ideal if you'd like space to think through one particular issue, decision or transition.
Coaching Journey
Four Sessions - €320(€80 per session)
A series of conversations that allows us to explore what's happening, build momentum, and create meaningful change.Most people meet every one or two weeks to begin with.
Ongoing Coaching
Many people choose to keep coaching as an occasional space to pause, reflect and think clearly.After your initial coaching journey, we'll review what feels most helpful.For some people, that's the right place to finish. Others continue with occasional conversations, while some prefer to book another block of four.We can decide together what best supports you at that point.
How Cairn Sessions Work
Most conversations take place over
50 minutes, giving us the space to slow things down and explore things properly.
The sessions are usually held online and can be video or audio-only, depending on what feels most comfortable for you.If you're in Morzine, in-person conversations are also an option.Sessions take place within a simple coaching agreement, which you're welcome to [ead here. Coaching Agreement →
