About Sam
Hi, I’m Sam. I'm a friendly, supportive coach specialising in interview preparation, Civil Service behaviour interviews, and confidence coaching for people who want to communicate clearly and perform at their best.
I’ve worked in the Civil Service for several years in learning, coaching and training roles, helping people improve their confidence, refine their examples, and speak more naturally during interviews. My style is warm, calm and down-to-earth. Ideal if interviews make you nervous or you struggle to talk about yourself.
I also offer free personal development coaching as part of my professional Coaching Apprenticeship. These sessions are client-led, confidential and focused on goals, clarity, mindset and confidence.
Whether you want to prepare for a job interview, understand Civil Service behaviours, practise the STAR method, or build long-term confidence, I’m here to support you with friendly, structured guidance that puts you at ease.

About My Lessons
My sessions are friendly, relaxed and tailored to your confidence level and goals. Whether we’re preparing for an interview or exploring personal development, I create a calm space where you can talk openly and build clarity.
Interview & Civil Service Coaching
My lessons are practical and supportive. We focus on:
Real interview questions
Behaviour and strengths technique
STAR/STAR+ structuring
Improving clarity and confidence
Speaking naturally without sounding scripted
Each session is shaped around what you need — we practise together, reflect, and strengthen your answers step by step.
Mock Interview Lessons
These are structured like a real interview followed by clear, friendly feedback. You’ll get:
A realistic interview experience
Instant improvements
Guidance on structure, clarity and delivery
A simple plan to boost your confidence
Free Coaching (Apprenticeship Coaching – Not Interview Skills)
For personal development coaching, my lessons are completely client-led.
You choose the focus: confidence, motivation, mindset, goals, work-life balance or anything you’d like to explore.
I guide with:
Deep listening
Reflective questions
Space to think and discover your own solutions
These sessions are supportive, non-judgmental and confidential.
Across all lesson types, my aim is to help you feel confident, clear and prepared.

Reviews
All the reviews collected from students are verified by our team. They are therefore reliable and correspond to a real experience with Sam.
Perfect! Sam was very responsive and went into a lot of depth with the feedback he gave me. His experience is obvious through his understanding of the application process and how best to structure your own application. Very much recommend booking a lesson with Sam if you're thinking about it.
- It was fantastic working with Ryan. They sent their initial draft and we worked through each of the questions to ensure they followed the STAR method. Very receptive to the feedback I gave.Sam's response :
