A life that feels true
Alongside my work as a PGA Professional, I run Gary Shaw Life: a separate private coaching practice centred on gay men who want to live with greater clarity, freedom and truth.
Life may look perfectly functional from the outside while something underneath no longer feels right. You may be facing a difficult decision, repeating a pattern you understand but cannot seem to change, or recognising that your work, relationships or direction no longer feel fully your own.
The reason you seek coaching does not need to be about sexuality. What matters is having a calm, open space where none of who you are needs to be explained, softened or edited. I also welcome people of any sexuality or gender who connect with this approach.
I received a Distinction in the Advanced Diploma in Personal, Leadership and Executive Coaching from Kingstown College. My approach combines careful listening, honest questioning and practical action. We slow things down enough to see clearly, face what is true and decide what comes next.
Three-month private coaching
Private coaching begins as a focused three-month relationship. This gives us enough time to move beyond immediate insight, recognise deeper patterns and turn what emerges into sustained change.
- Six private 60-minute coaching sessions
- Usually held fortnightly over three months
- Available online or in person in London
- A clear focus for the coaching relationship, agreed together at the outset
Fee: £1,200
Payable in full or in three monthly payments of £400.
We begin with a private 25-minute consultation to understand what has brought you here, what you would like to change and whether working together feels right. There is no charge and no obligation to proceed.
How this connects with golf
My life-coaching training informs how I listen, question and help golfers work with learning, pressure, frustration and change. But the two services are distinct: golf coaching focuses on your game; private life coaching focuses on your wider life through Gary Shaw Life.
