Thinking about life coaching? Unsure – but would like to explore the idea? People are becoming more aware of life coaching as a way of helping them to make progress toward living a more satisfying life.
“Client-centred” coaching is non-directive, meaning I don’t tell you what to do or give you answers – I help you to find answers. This is not therapy – we are working on the basis that you are already ok and functioning reasonably well in the world. However, as with therapy, you can only succeed if you put in the work of challenging assumptions and exploring ideas.
Are you interested in improving relationships, managing transitions, achieving ambitions? Perhaps you are facing challenges or decisions which are best approached in collaboration with a neutral professional:
We clarify your aims and aspirations, then move toward them. My support is tailored to you, to ensure that the strategies and plans you develop are matched to your circumstances and resources. Of course, we all face obstacles and setbacks. I will help you identify and overcome barriers by offering new perspectives and strategies – helping you to navigate difficult transitions, manage stress, and build resilience. Gently offering motivation and encouragement. A key benefit of life coaching is the accountability it provides. Regular sessions ensure that you stay committed to your progress.
I offer a confidential consultation at a reduced fee, to see if we can work well together. This would be for up to 60 minutes, with no obligation to go any further. I encourage potential clients to speak with a few coaches if possible, to find a good match.
We would enter into a formal agreement about what is expected and required, and this contract is signed by both parties before our work together begins.

Clients sometimes find that deeper issues arise, and wish to explore those in a more therapeutic context. We would have the option to do so (please see this page), or to merge elements of both counselling and coaching (here is an example of a combined contract).

It may be that the sort of coaching I offer could help you achieve a more satisfying life. Please do get in contact to find out.
