Our Approach
City Health Partners is built on the CHP PACE Framework: Pause, Assess, Choose, Embed. We combine objective insight with structured coaching, so change is chosen by the client and built to last, not handed down as instructions.
Our Difference
What sets City Health Partners apart is lived experience and professional depth.
Our founder, Hugh Middleton, has spent 15 years in asset management and broking. He understands the pace, pressure, and expectations of the City because he works within it. That perspective is complemented by Dr Richard Pile, a practising GP with a specialist focus on lifestyle medicine and cardiology, accredited in health coaching, and widely published on wellbeing topics. Richard has also authored Fit For Purpose and delivered a TEDx talk on factors that shape long-term health and connection.
Together, this blend of real-world context and broad health expertise informs a coaching approach grounded in practical insight, behavioural understanding, and sustained performance.
Meet the Team
Hugh Middleton
Founder & Coach
Hugh has spent fifteen years in asset management and on London trading floors, most recently as an FCA-registered equity sales professional. That's given him a close, first-hand view of how relentless pace and pressure wear down even the most capable people.
He holds a degree in Law and French from the University of Sheffield and a Masters in International Banking and Finance Law from the University of Leeds. Alongside his career in finance, he trained as a coach, accredited with the EMCC, and as a health coach.
The idea behind CHP is simple: give people a clear picture of their own health and lifestyle, and the support to make positive, lasting change.
Dr Richard Pile
Coach
Dr Richard Pile is a GP and lifestyle medicine physician specialising in cardiovascular health, with over 25 years of clinical and leadership experience. He uses advanced health data to uncover hidden risks and create clear, personalised strategies that support long-term health, performance, and wellbeing for individuals and organisations.
What We Believe
Health should be managed with the same rigour as any other business-critical asset. It's an investment in the people who make every other investment work.
When It Matters Most
The moments that ask the most of someone are often the moments health slips furthest down the list. Starting a new role. Making partner. Taking on a bigger team. A promotion that changes what the job demands.
Performance starts with clarity.
Our programmes support professionals as they step into a new role, using a structured, data-led approach to health and performance to help establish the foundations for sustained performance from the outset.
