Coaching

Mark Adams

Mark previously served as Vicar of St Margaret’s Barking from 2021 to 2026 and has over 25 years of ordained ministry experience, working in a wide variety of parish contexts including urban, rural, and new town settings. He also served as an Area Dean before moving to the Diocese of Chelmsford.

In 2020, Mark trained as a coach with an International Coach Federation (ICF) accredited training provider and, after leaving St Margaret’s, now works as a self-employed coach and reflective pastoral supervisor. He is currently applying for Associate Certified Coach (ACC) accreditation with the ICF, having completed all the required elements.

Mark’s particular focus is supporting clergy wellbeing through coaching and reflective practice. He believes coaching offers a valuable space for encouragement, clarity, discernment, and renewed confidence in ministry, helping people recognise and develop their God-given gifts and potential. He now lives outside the Diocese and works online, with extensive experience of supporting clergy in this way.

Phil Martin

I was born and brought up in a Christian family, in a Manse house. My Father was Free Church minister in North London and Essex.

I have been a Christian and follower of Jesus for over 40 years. I have held most roles of responsibility in a Free Church setting, including deacon, elder, worship leader, small group/house group leader, children, families and youth worker and church pastor leading a church.

Most of my employment career has been in Christian charities, as well as a large local authority. My training and qualification background is in Human Resources, which developed into Organisational Development, senior leadership, management, coaching, CEO, Chair, and Governance roles.

I hold a certificate in coaching practice and have been coaching and mentoring for over 20 years. I follow a variety of models and methods, but I seek to listen firstly, provide questions for personal exploration, reflect back to a coachee, offer insights, experience and empathy, create steps, actions and plans, follow up, pray and see people grow and develop.

Joe Sidders: The Pilgrim Coach

ILM Level 7 | EMCC Accredited | Gospel Coaching Network

'Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labour' Eccl. 4:9

As the Pilgrim Coach, I walk alongside you for a season. Perhaps the destination is clear, but the challenging realities of your current landscape are just as much part of the pilgrimage. Maybe you need to find a vista point to re-orientate, decide which turn to take next, or reflect on what you're carrying for the journey. Then again, maybe the destination isn't that clear. 

In practical terms, we might:

Evaluate options for an upcoming decision or dry-run a brave conversation.

Work through imposter syndrome or establish more sustainable habits.

Uncover limiting assumptions or imagine how you want to feel in six months.  

I've coached a number of ministers, and also volunteer as an Associate with Living Leadership and a Leadership Partner with the Arrow Leadership Executive Program. I've been a Christian for 36 years, and a teacher and senior leader in education for 28 years. I'm married to Sarah, an artist, and we have 3 children. www.thepilgrim.coach
