About Me
Hi, I’m Sahil,
I studied Philosophy and Economics at Cardiff University but after graduating, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. I worked as a teaching assistant in a high school, but I still felt stuck because I was afraid to commit to something because I had always chosen the safe and easy path. Didn’t know what I wanted to commit to long term. Didn’t have the vision or courage.
Eventually, I gave myself the time and space to figure out what I truly wanted. Now, I’m building a business I love, working with people, and doing meaningful work.
I’ve completed over 100 hours of coaching and am currently working toward my ICF accreditation. Every step of this journey has reinforced my belief that people thrive when they have clarity, focus and the right tools to manage their time and energy. Its all up to them.
Background
Beyond coaching, I love people. I’m endlessly curious about who they are, how they think, and what makes them tick. I could sit in a cafe for hours just observing, but more often than not, I’ll strike up a conversation. It’s the same reason I love reading, movies, music, and learning new things - there’s always another perspective to explore.
I also spent eight years living in Kenya, where I got to experience a completely different way of life. Mombasa, where I lived was beautiful and as a young person it shaped how i feel. How kindness and gratitude and helping being present are part of my values. Right now, I’m learning Polish, which is both challenging and fun. I love acting—I used to do LAMDA and was on stage and behind it as well. , and while I don’t seek being the center of attention, I love the energy of being on stage.
2024 was the best year of my life. I started my business, met incredible people, traveled more, and stepped out of my safety net. Before that, I worked throughout university to pay my way, I worked at at Big Yellow Storage - a company that put people first, which made all the difference. During COVID, my team became a second family.
As for books, I carry Why Has Nobody Ever Told Me This Before? by Dr. Julie Smith everywhere I go. And every year, I reread A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara. It breaks my heart every time, but it also makes it bigger and me, more human.

What My Clients Say
I found it surprisingly and powerfully helpful
“I had the chance to pursue coaching and decided to go ahead without a strong vision for how it should progress or what I should look to get out of it. From this starting point I found it surprisingly and powerfully helpful, and Sahil was great at giving me the space to ease into the sessions and draw something useful from them.
After the period of coaching, I have retained an active focus on my goals and the wider project of my life, something I did not have before, and my understanding of myself has deepened and stayed stronger in the months since.”
“When we first met, I didn’t know what I wanted to work on until we spoke and I went away and asked myself the question, What have I been procrastinating on? It then became clear that one of the biggest issues facing me professionally was to progress my professional assessment application to become a Chartered Architectural Technologist with the CIAT/ATR. Before going through the coaching, I had self-doubt concerning the not having enough of the right experience to progress this application, even though I have been working in the industry for 26 years.
Sahil is a very professional coach that was able to unlock issues of self-doubt in my head that I had not previously discussed. He asked questions in a probing but gentle manner which helped me unlock these thoughts and deal with the reality. I would have had great difficulty in completing the professional assessment application, had we not had a coaching relationship. I would have no trouble in recommending him to friends or colleagues.”
