Simon Slater

Simon Slater is an emotional intelligence coach, trauma‑informed practitioner, and former British Army leader and Human Intelligence Specialist who has spent more than 25 years supporting people in high‑pressure, emotionally demanding environments. Through EMOTEQ™ Coaching, he helps individuals, leaders, and organisations build clarity, confidence, psychological safety, and emotional resilience.

His work is grounded in one core belief:

Most people aren’t lost — They feel like they’ve drifted away from themselves.

Away from their values.

Away from their strengths.

Away from the life they quietly hoped they’d be living.

Simon’s coaching blends psychology, emotional intelligence, and lived experience into a warm, deeply human approach that invites people to understand themselves with honesty and compassion. He specialises in helping those who have carried too much in silence, stayed strong for too long, or quietly wondered why success and responsibility can still leave them feeling disconnected from themselves.

His book, The Emotionally Intelligent Life, is a guide for anyone ready to reconnect with their emotions, their patterns, their relationships, their purpose — and the parts of themselves they’ve been outgrowing. It offers practical tools, trauma‑informed insight, and a grounded path back to emotional clarity and alignment.

Simon writes, speaks, and teaches with the same intention that shapes his coaching:

to help people live, lead, and love without leaving themselves behind.
