Coaching
Making a significant change in your life for the better is exciting and can bring happiness and a sense of purpose. But sometimes making that change can also be scary and overwhelming. You might know what you want to do, but are lacking the confidence to make it happen. Or you might feel a change is needed, but are struggling to know which direction to take.
Explore your options
Coaching gives you the chance to explore the changes you want to make with someone who will listen without judgement. I'll help you discover how you can overcome the challenges you're facing and achieve your goals.
Discover what's holding you back
Using a series of targeted and thought-provoking questions, I'll help you to see your situation from different perspectives and to build a better awareness of what's holding you back. Together we'll challenge those doubts and use your awareness to re-assess and move past them.
Create change
Coaching or counselling?
Coaching and counselling share some of the same techniques, such as being skilled in listening and asking questions.
Counselling focuses primarily on processing emotions, often from the the past, and healing. Coaching recognises that emotions play a big part of the change process, but the emphasis is on identifying where you want to be and creating new ways of thinking, habits and behaviours that will get you there.
Depending on your needs and what you'd like to focus on, we can use an approach that integrates both counselling and coaching.

My style of coaching
I firmly believe that each of us has the ability to discover what we need. I'll ask you questions, offer some thoughts on what I'm hearing from you and sometimes challenge your way of thinking and being - all designed to encourage you to reflect and work out what you need to do to achieve your goals.
