Your Coach
Hi, I’m Dominic Liddell. I’m here to support you as you navigate this journey we call life.
As a Black, queer, trans, and polyamorous person, I understand that creating a life that feels authentic often means questioning expectations, redefining what success looks like, and finding the confidence to choose a path that genuinely fits who you are.
My coaching is grounded in the belief that personal development isn’t about becoming someone else—it’s about becoming more intentional about the person you want to be. I work with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what comes next, helping them gain clarity, navigate challenges, and turn their intentions into meaningful action.
Through coaching, workshops, and community conversations, I create space for honest reflection without judgment and practical strategies without the pressure to have everything figured out. My goal is simple: to help people build lives that feel more intentional, authentic, and fulfilling.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is coaching the same as therapy?
No. We work with the present and the possible. If deeper clinical work is needed, I’ll say so and help you find the right person.
How do sessions happen?
By video, from wherever you are. Occasionally in person in Lisbon by arrangement.
What if I’m not sure I need this?
That’s what the first conversation is for. It’s complimentary and honest — no pressure to continue.
How do you handle privacy?
Everything shared stays between us. Notes are minimal and never shared with third parties.
When will I start seeing results?
Most clients notice a shift within three to four sessions — clearer perspective, better boundaries, more decisive action.
