I offer a safe space for you to thrive. I will listen and ask questions that will lead you to being ready to explore the real you.
If you decide to take a Package of hours, which offers good value, you enjoy tailored activities and communication between sessions - you use the hours paid for communication with me online, email, text - how you wish. I know what it is like to already feel squeezed for time and low on energy to start the process of change.
I will explain the processes and talk you through how it might work in your life. It is much less formal than a counselling situation.
I like to use the GROW coaching model, as it's adaptable. Read my Guide to the GROW coaching model
We will use life coaching principles alongside NLP/NEURO LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING and Time Line Therapy® techniques - safe linguistic coaching tools that do not require the coach knows the details of any events in your life, so your experiences are private.
I am also qualified in Advanced Coaching techniques that include Transactional Analysis (TA) processes which are simple to grasp and easy to apply in everyday life.

COACHING or Counselling?
Coaching is Solution-focused. Life coaches emphasize practical strategies and action plans.
We work towards the OUTCOME you want, progressively and with ease. If it is needed we sift through any blockers and limiting beliefs.
The coach doesn't need to know the content or even the details of your experiences - you don't have to explain to someone who can't relate.
HOW TO CHOOSE a life coach
To find the best coach for your needs:
Work out what you expect and what you want to achieve - do you prefer a coach who is friendly and supportive? Do you want someone to challenge you and hold you accountable? (I do both! - lots of experience with that balancing act)
Do you want to be given a different perspective or want someone with a similar background?
You want to feel you can trust this person and be confident that a session is starting the journey you will go on as you work together.
Ask: do I resonate with this coach? do I feel motivated and comfortable?
