UKCP Psychotherapist · Therapeutic Coach
Coaching that builds workable systems for focus, follow-through and prioritising, for leaders whose days are full of decisions, interruptions and unfinished loops.
Years of experience
Most productivity advice comes from consultants and business books. Mine comes from more than 20 years of clinical practice, working with how people actually think and function under pressure.
UKCP-registered psychotherapist and EMCC-accredited coach, with NHS and private-practice experience behind every session.
When the real problem is exhaustion or overload rather than a missing system, that gets named and addressed directly, not papered over with another app.
Systems that hold up in a genuinely demanding week, not a tidy case study written for a book.
If therapy would serve you better than coaching at any point, you’ll be told plainly, not upsold on more sessions.
You leave every session with specific, practical next steps, not general encouragement.
A productivity coach helps you work more effectively by managing your time, energy and focus with intention, rather than by working longer hours. We look at what’s actually stalling you, then build a system that fits how you work, not a generic template.
Sessions are structured but personal. Expect practical tools for planning, prioritising and following through, alongside honest conversation about what’s getting in the way. If you want the fuller picture, my guide to what productivity coaching involves covers it step by step.
Some clients are weighing this against a mindset coach instead. My comparison of mindset coaching and productivity coaching sets out exactly when each one fits better.
Time management struggles are rarely just a scheduling problem. We work on the habits and, where useful, the psychology underneath them, so the changes actually stick.
If your focus difficulties are rooted in ADHD or executive function differences, the approach needs to work with your brain, not against it. My guide to executive function coaching goes into this in more depth, and my ADHD coaching page covers dedicated ADHD support.

You’ll leave each session with 1–3 precise actions and a way to track them.
A simple 3-step process to lasting change
In our first session, we map what’s really driving the overwhelm: your role, your patterns, and where the current systems break down.
We design a personalised structure, planning routines, boundaries and delegation scripts that fit your actual week, not a generic template.
We track what’s working and adjust what isn’t, so the new systems hold up under real pressure and become your default, not a phase.
Every session flexes to your role and current pressures as your productivity coach. Typically we’ll arrive, choose one high-leverage focus, review what’s helping or blocking, and test practical productivity tools such as a one-page plan, time-box design, or decision map. We’ll finish by agreeing practical next steps you can implement immediately. Many clients prefer weekly or fortnightly sessions to sustain momentum as productivity habits take root.
Leaders and professionals working with a productivity coach commonly report:
Most people see strong gains in 6–12 sessions; we’ll review progress regularly and taper as your systems stabilize.

I’m Sabbir Ahmed, an EMCC-accredited coach and UKCP-registered psychotherapist with more than 20 years across the NHS and private practice. That clinical background matters here, because focus problems are rarely just about systems and habits.
Often there’s something underneath, such as burnout, undiagnosed ADHD, or a mind that’s simply overloaded. I bring a therapist’s eye to what’s actually blocking you, then build practical coaching around it. You get productivity strategies with real depth behind them.
Most people are aiming for gains in 6–12 sessions; we’ll review progress regularly and taper as your systems stabilize.
It’s productivity coaching informed by psychotherapy skills. If therapy is a better fit at any point, I’ll advise you and we can switch pathways.
Only if useful. Our focus is on simple behaviours and principles that work with any tools you already use.
Yes. Sessions run via secure video or at my London EC1 practice.
In practice, the terms overlap heavily. I work as a coach, personal, one-to-one, and focused on your own patterns rather than organisational systems. If you need workplace-wide process consulting, that’s a different service to what I offer here.
No. Most of my productivity clients don’t have a diagnosis at all, just a sense that their systems aren’t working. If ADHD or executive function differences are part of the picture, I’ll adapt the approach accordingly.
Choose the format that suits you. I offer sessions in-person at Harley Street, Liverpool Street and City Road, or securely online across the UK. The coaching itself is the same; the difference is what fits your week best.
