I will always schedule a short phone call with you prior to you booking your session with me, this is important as coaching is an investment of your time and money and I want to be sure that I can help you make the best use of both. This initial call will allow me to have insight into your areas of concern and we can discuss how best to move forward together, it is also an opportunity for you to see if I am the right coach for you. These calls are not sales calls and there is no obligation at all to work with me if we engage in an introductory call.

As a coach, I am friendly and warm and I completely appreciate that taking the first step into coaching can be daunting, however, the space that we will create together is non judgemental, and a place where you can explore and be honest with what you are feeling and thinking and where we can dig deeper together.

I see each person as an individual so for that reason my sessions are bespoke and built around your needs. I have a framework around which I work but I am completely flexible as this is your journey and my role as a coach is to guide you along your path. We will discuss some of the key takeaways that you would like to have from our sessions at the beginning of the program.

There are many overlapping areas between counselling and coaching the most obvious one being that they are both “helping professions” and I have worked with many clients who had or were actively attending counselling and in some cases it was recommended by their therapist. There is no doubt that coaching is therapeutic, but it is not therapy. As an experienced coach it is important that I know when a client needs to work with a certified mental health professional.

As a coach I am a solution focused practitioner and in areas where appropriate I can provide advise in  order to help my client reach their goal, counselling can be non-directive.

Coaching is also a short-term relationship and although many of my clients come back for top up sessions over the years and tend to stay in touch with me, my programme has a beginning a middle and an end. Coaching is also focused on future change in comparison to counselling which is often retrospective and focussed on trauma healing etc.

There are many resources on the internet which explore the difference between the two but if you are in any doubt, I am always happy to have an introductory call and we can discuss your potential needs.

Mind coaching works through the three representational systems of visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic, so works for all learning styles. Mind coaching exercises allow us to drill down into a specific issue and provide you with tools that can help you assess potential pitfalls, develop coping tools, and consistently make progress. It is exceptionally beneficial in the areas of building new habits, creating changes, building self-esteem and confidence, and working towards your personal definition of success.

Feeling stuck in your career and not sure what the right next step is?

Feeling stuck in your career or life, worried about change but unhappy with the status quo

You have a goal in mind and need to improve your CV, LinkedIn, Interview skills

At a crossroads in your life, maybe your priorities have changed, and you need a space to evaluate and gain clarity before making any decisions

Payment can be made with Credit & Debit cards; a link will be sent prior to commencement of our first session and payment is due in full unless otherwise agreed. PayPal or bank transfer are also accepted.

This is a great question, and the key really is to be open and curious about the process and also to remember that you are an active participant in the process the more that you can put in the more that you will get out, new habits and behaviours take work to implement.

Beginning coaching can seem daunting and sometimes people worry about not being able to answer questions or if there is even a solution to their problem in the first place and it can all seem overwhelming. I promise you that my sessions will be a place where you can relax and while we might work through questions that seem potentially difficult, I will be there to support and guide you.

Currently my sessions are via zoom, the advantage of this is that I am flexible and happy to do evenings or a weekend if required, again what is important is that we can create the space for you to get the most from this experience.
