Executive Coaching
Coaching for leaders in private healthcare
One-to-one executive coaching for senior clinical and operational leaders navigating change, growth, and the demands of a high-stakes environment.
Built for leaders in private healthcare, by leaders in private healthcare.
You might be stepping into a new role, working through a period of change, or developing the way you lead.
This coaching is shaped around the realities of your sector and the situation in front of you.
Who I work with
+Senior leaders across private healthcare
Clinical and operational leaders in private hospitals, independent providers, and the teams growing alongside them.
Clinical directors, physicians and senior nurse leaders
Bridging clinical and operational leadership within private hospital settings and independent providers.
Heads of service
Growing services, lifting performance, and developing teams under pressure, across areas such as marketing and business development.
Hospital CEOs, COOs, marketing and business development directors
Leading teams and services across private hospital groups and independent providers.
Leaders in transition
Moving between the public and private sector, or stepping up into a more senior role.
How I work
+Grounded in the reality of your role
Sessions stay grounded in the practical realities of working in healthcare, rather than leaning on generic frameworks. Every engagement is built around you, your organisation, and the situation you are working through.
Active listening sits at the centre of how I work, so you are heard properly before we look at what comes next. Nothing here is off the shelf, and every conversation stays specific to you.

Why Nicky
+Nicky Simmons
Founder, LondonHealthConsult · Executive Coach
Across more than 30 years in healthcare, spanning both the NHS and the independent sector, I have built a grounded, practical understanding of what leadership in this field asks of people. That perspective comes from years spent working inside the system rather than observing it from a distance.
I have supported clinical teams, shaped services, and worked closely with senior professionals in both frontline and management settings. That gives me a realistic view of the pressures you carry and what leading well in this environment takes.
My coaching stays specific to you: your situation, your organisation, and the sector you work in. Together, we build towards leading with more clarity, confidence, and purpose.
