# Maria Gray Executive Coaching
Maria Gray is an executive coach based in Cheltenham who works with leaders and founders navigating significant transitions and complexity in their lives. With over 25 years spanning finance, human resources and leadership development, Maria brings substantial professional credibility alongside her coaching expertise since 2005.
She specialises in helping accomplished professionals gain clarity about their direction, strengthen their leadership presence and navigate pivotal career changes—whether stepping into senior roles, leaving corporate life, starting ventures, or preparing for retirement. Her holistic approach addresses both the external decisions clients face and their inner landscape, recognising that sustainable change requires attending to the whole person within their wider context.
What distinguishes Maria is her rare balance of empathy with gentle challenge. Clients consistently value her ability to help them explore unspoken doubts and patterns that typically remain hidden, creating the safety and perceptiveness needed for genuine insight. Her systemic perspective means she considers not just professional development but relationships, values, resilience and how clients show up across all areas of life.
Maria holds advanced qualifications including an MSc in Organisational Change from Ashridge, EMCC Senior Practitioner accreditation, and specialist training in trauma-informed coaching. She supervises other coaches and works with clients across the UK and internationally, though based in the Cotswolds.
