In honesty I think you need to find the commitment inside yourself first. Just hiring a coach wont work. You could just get your partner or friend to monitor you. Find a goal to aim for and set milestone mid term goals also.
That said, I do understand. I dont really have any recommendations. I used to have Ric Stern coach me, but while it worked, i didnt like the style of riding. These days i coach myself and i have Jon Barker do what you're looking for, he is my oversight, and sounding board. I need the opposite though, someone telling me to ride less. https://www.palmares.co.uk/about
Unless you're paying 150 quid a month you'll likely have a cookie cut plan that's no better than something you can find online. Just dont go to one of the big coaching business, as there you are just a number.
You wont get nutrition too unless you spend more money. Buy a good nutrition book. Louise burke - clinical sports nutrition.

If you dont do much now, anything will raise the bar.

I think my initial comment isn't quite what I want to convey.
Every week, pretty much without fail, I will do 3 FTP focused sessions on the bike (i.e. ride at close to FTP as possible), with a long ride on the weekend which is usually for fun.
2 tempo runs (which are around 4min/km for at least 10k)
1-2 gym sessions.
And the occasional swim.I don't think I need any more commitment. I just need better guidance. For which I cannot do myself. The same goes for Nutrition. I eat sensibly, but I know that I could do better.
Accountability is useful. And I feel I've hit a plateau, where I will ride/run pretty comfortably, but doubt I could move to the next rung without some input.
