As each key is unique, so are you and your journey.
Your coaching journey is unique to you. You set the agenda. You decide how frequently you want the sessions, although I recommend having them no less than every 2 weeks otherwise momentum can be lost.
You have the answers within you. You do the work. You get the results.
So what do I do then?
I guide you through questioning to give meaningful thought to what it is you really want, bringing it to life in your mind’s eye and what it will give you. In order to get anywhere you have to be clear about the destination, right? It may be a clear cut goal such as losing weight, focusing your time on a project or reaching a target. It may be more vague such as feeling more confident, focusing on self-care or rediscovering your identity. Whatever it is, I will empower you to get clarity on your destination. It’s easy to be woolly without someone insisting on details, isn’t it?
Then I will encourage you to look at exactly where you are in relationship to that goal and how it feels right now. I will, respectfully, challenge you to be brutally honest with yourself and hold space for you to do that. Through this you will uncover the strengths you possess to get you through and the saboteurs you have that are holding you back. The breakthroughs at this part of the process are life-changing. This is where you get a totally new relationship with yourself. At this stage, if you want tips, tools and suggestions at this point for things that can help, I will offer them. It might be research based, or a book recommendation or an NLP technique. But only if you want them. I know stuff, but I am not an expert on you. You are.
Next, I will give you time to think about what you will do. Every session will have at least one action for you to take to move you nearer your goal. It will be an action you decide upon, you’re in the driving seat here. I will help you to think things through to make sure that action is achievable, what you need in order to take it and when it can be done. If you’ve ever decided you will do something but then not been able to do it because you didn’t get the time or found you were missing the very thing you needed in order to do it, this is what we’re overcoming here. Together we set you up to succeed.
At the start of the next session, I look forward to hearing all about how your action went and celebrating your successes. This is where I become your accountability partner and this is what many of my clients say really helps them. Knowing I am going to ask them how things have gone gives them a little nudge if the motivation falters or the fear holds them back. Not taking the action can often be more informative than taking it, so it’s OK if you haven’t. You won’t be told off! But you will get a chance to reflect on why it didn’t go to plan and what that means for you. I’m here to support you through meaningful reflection and make sure you’re not too hard on yourself!
That’s the way I work. Oh, and don’t forget that there will be laughs along the way. Because life’s too short not to laugh!

Each session is entirely devoted to you! How great does that sound? One hour to think about no one else but you and your journey!
You will end the session feeling motivated, energised and more confident that you can do this-because you can!
Coaching is about setting goals to move forward and learning during the process. Decide on a goal, write it down. Take steps to achieving it. That’s the basic process. Your goal can be about anything, but you can’t get to your destination if you don’t know where you are trying to go.
Coaching is not counselling or mentoring, so the past is not typically part of the discussion and I will not give advice. I am here to listen, reflect and question you so that you can identify where you are going and why. It’s all about what opens the door for you.
“Life isn’t about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself”

Why I’d love to be your coach
-to empower you to become all that you know you can be-
So many of us unwittingly follow paths in life that are set out by others – parents, teachers, circumstances – many of them very well-meaning, but sometimes we wake up and wonder how we got where we are and whether we even want to be there. Most importantly, we ask where we want to go next. Or else we get so sick and tired of always feeling a certain way; not good enough, lacking in confidence, frightened of change. It’s such a waste of the wonderful person you were born to be.
Life is so exciting and so full of opportunities. We can be who we want to be and do what we want to do (yes, even if you are in a job you absolutely hate). I have seen the transformation that coaching can bring – I’m living it and I want it for you! I’d love to give you the key so you can unlock those doors for yourself and create yourself as you want to be.
