ABOUT US
Founded in 2018, Coaching Fast Forward began by supporting individuals through transitions, professional challenges and times when they felt stuck. Alongside individual and team coaching, it offered workshops for organisations on stress management and resilience.Over time, its services have expanded to include conflict management and leadership coaching, helping people strengthen working relationships and supporting leaders in creating a culture where people feel valued, supported and able to grow.
Today, through our partnership with Dr. MD. Amir Yassari, a seasoned specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy with a background in sport and performance, we bring together expertise in coaching, conflict management and performance coaching.
WHY US?
Our work is shaped by decades of professional experience, our cross-cultural backgrounds and a shared passion for sport. Together, we help people understand their challenges, explore new perspectives and take practical steps forward—in work, sport and everyday life.

ZOE MASSOUDI, MBA
I founded Coaching Fast Forward in 2018 to support people facing change, difficult situations or uncertainty in their professional lives. Today, I work with individuals, leaders and teams on leadership, working relationships and conflict.
Having worked within teams throughout my career in international business, I bring first-hand experience of different perspectives, competing expectations and the challenges of working together.
In coaching, I make room for honest reflection while keeping our conversations connected to the situations you face and what you want to change.
I hold an MBA in Leadership, Mentoring and Coaching. My academic research explored conflict within teams and the role of organisational culture, areas that continue to inform my work with people and organisations.
DR. AMIR YASSARI
I work with people who want to manage pressure, develop confidence and perform well in demanding situations. My approach to performance coaching draws on my experience as a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy, alongside my involvement in sport and team development.
Through my clinical work and my role as a rugby coach, I see how expectations, relationships and the environment around us can influence both wellbeing and performance. These perspectives inform how I support individuals and teams in understanding their responses to pressure and developing practical ways to handle challenges.
At Coaching Fast Forward, I help athletes, sports teams and organisations strengthen focus, handle setbacks and work towards their goals. My coaching considers both individual needs and the team culture that enables people to perform well.
