We listen, ask questions and make space to think properly before deciding what to do next.
About our approachHegarty House was founded by Sean Hegarty, an author and development coach with a background in healthcare, public service, clinical supervision and operational leadership. That experience helps keep our work practical and grounded in the realities people and teams face.

Time to say what is really going on.
A different angle, not a ready-made answer.
A decision, an experiment or a next step.
A little more about development coaching, facilitation and what working with Hegarty House involves.
Development coaching gives you space to work through a question, decision or change in your personal or professional life. We start with what is happening, look at the choices available and work towards a useful next step that fits your circumstances.
Facilitation helps people work through something together. It might involve understanding a problem, hearing different perspectives, making a decision or agreeing what needs to change. The facilitator guides the conversation while the people involved do the thinking and make the decisions.
Individuals and teams both face questions about decisions, change and what happens next. Personal coaching focuses on one person’s situation and choices. Team facilitation focuses on the work people share, the decisions they need to make together and what they can put into practice.
We keep the team work appropriate for a workplace. Nobody is expected to share private parts of their life with colleagues.
We will confirm who will lead your coaching or facilitated session, what it involves and the practical arrangements before you book. You will know who you are working with before you commit.
FIRE-UP stands for Focus, Identity, Relationships, Energy, Understanding and Prosperity.
Those six areas give us different ways into the same conversation: what matters, where you’re heading and what needs attention next.
Prosperity is broader than money. It means doing well in the ways that matter to you, which might include your wellbeing, relationships, work, stability, opportunities or finances.
No. Tell us what is happening, even when you are not quite sure what to call it. We can work out together whether coaching, a facilitated session or another next step would be useful.
We will review your enquiry and come back with any questions or a suggested next step. You can decide whether to arrange an initial conversation; there is no need to choose a programme before getting in touch.
The form is on our Talk to Us page. Sending an enquiry does not add you to a marketing list.
No. FIRE-UP is development coaching and facilitation. It does not diagnose or treat health conditions and is not a substitute for therapy, crisis support or specialist clinical care.
Tell us a little about what is going on. We can work out whether this is a good fit.
Sometimes something needs to change, but working out exactly what that is, or what to do next, can be difficult when you’re in the middle of it.
FIRE-UP Personal gives you four private conversations to step away from the noise, work out what matters to you, explore where that could take you and decide what happens next.
Four sessions of 45–60 minutes, across roughly six to eight weeks.
£495 including VAT paid in full, or two payments of £250.
It isn’t about somebody else telling you how to live your life. We work with what is actually going on, including the responsibilities, relationships and realities that have to come with you.
Appointments are subject to availability and confirmed before booking. Personal Coaching is separate from Foundations and does not reserve a cohort place.
Starting with the issue your team is facing, this is a facilitated day to understand what's happening and work through it together.
One online facilitated day, normally 09:30–16:00.
£1,250 plus VAT for up to 12 participants.
We talk beforehand about the situation, the people involved and what would make the time useful. The work uses Our Purpose, Our Direction and Our Work, without asking colleagues to share private parts of their lives.
The aim is a clearer shared understanding and practical decisions or commitments the team can take back into its work. Scope, date and fee are agreed before the work is treated as booked.
Our signature six-week programme, for people who want structured time to explore what matters, where they are heading and how it fits the life they are living.
Six facilitated group sessions, with reflection between conversations and the chance to learn alongside others.
Next cohort dates and price: to be confirmed.
Foundations works through Purpose, Direction and Life over six weeks. You can explore your own experience without being required to share anything you would rather keep private.
It is a facilitated programme, not a self-guided course. The focus is the guided work and the people taking part.
