Coaching builds on your strengths, clarifies your values and, gets you moving towards your goals, so that you feel in charge of your own life and decisions and experience greater life satisfaction and fulfilment.
We would come together for an agreed period, to work on specific life goals or issues enabling you to make positive changes in life, clarify goals and purpose, and move forward in life areas.
​
You probably are someone who functions well enough in daily life, but you just want a space to explore what matters to you, decide where you are going in life and maybe seek support to help you figure out how to get there. You may have a life area that isn’t working so well such as health and fitness, job or career, relationships, a sense of purpose or meaning in life, or finances that needs focusing on to bring greater balance and enjoyment into your life. Coaching isn’t advice-giving, it’s a process of questioning that helps you clarify what you want, your motivations and what action to take. It is an empowering process that puts you in charge of your own life.
​
We may not reflect so much on your past and where you have come from, but look at where you are today and where you would like to be in the future. It guides with positive psychology and is action-focused. It is about clarifying what you want and then taking decisive steps to move you there, overcoming barriers along the way. It often involves clarifying your values, your sense of purpose, or the things that are important to you and matter most.
​
Sometimes people hit obstacles within themselves that hinder progress and that may be a time to look more deeply into what is getting in the way, to raise awareness, get more choice and freedom to act the way you want to. In this instance you may feel that you want to do Psychotherapy.
Not sure if you need Coaching or Psychotherapy?
I can offer a flexible approach across these skill sets, so there is scope to manoeuvre around. In the first instance consider whether you are struggling with a long-standing problem or difficulty like anxiety, depression, emotional stress, past trauma, relationship difficulties or an addiction that really hinders you from being the person you want to be in the present day. Psychotherapy can help you become more aware of the roots and origins of these problems and assist you to overcome the habitual patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that keep them going, so that you can begin to have a whole lot more choice and Self leadership.
​
If you are generally functioning okay in daily life, but want to make some changes, improve things, or move in a new direction then coaching could be a rewarding and empowering space for you to explore your options. The relationship will help you to clarify, focus, sustain motivation, grow in self-confidence and achieve what you aim for..
