Coaching gives you a supportive safe space to explore what’s going on for you and learn new skills that enable you to design the life you want to live – and live it.

My approach to coaching is through Scientific techniques, my own experiences, and compassionate. If you want a drill-master, that is not me. Instead, if you slip off the path, I gently nudge you back.

You might. If your trauma/challenge is new, a therapist is often your best bet. A safe place to make sense of the story, to sort the pieces of it in your mind is a very necessary step.

But there comes a time when telling yourself your story starts to hold you back. There’s that saying – ‘the habits you created to survive will no longer serve you when it’s time to thrive.’ New neuro pathways need to be created, ones that will open up the world to you, not close it down.

Whatever you are comfortable sharing. I won’t press you on anything that you’re not ready to confront.

No! Many people believe we have to unpick the story of what happened and face into it. I am not one of those people. You have been living that story already for so long; you don’t need to face into it anymore. We work slowly and gently around the edges of the wound, until one session, usually around session 4 or 5, you’ll notice, it scarred over.

Yes! As well as it being the absolute right thing to do, I am a certified member of the International Coach Federation (ICF) who’s ethics code rightly insists on confidentiality. Of course, it’s not two-way: you’re allowed to share whatever you want to anyone you want.

Simply, a daily sessions isn’t long enough to absorb the lessons of one session, and do the work that needs doing between sessions. With any new habit, the rituals I will get you to adopt won’t ‘take’ overnight. You’ll need to keep focusing on them. 7 days gives you space to do that.

It takes time to get to the deep stuff. My style is to never rush you there – that approach might work for other coaches. It’s important to give it the time and sensitivity needed. Have you ever had a counselling session, you were just getting to the ‘good stuff’, and it was time to end? Me too. Hence, more than an hour.

Sessions are held over Skype or Zoom. If you need help getting set up with the technology, I can provide some support, although I’m not too techy! Which is the joy of Skype and Zoom; you don’t have to be.

It’s best if you can arrange to meet at a time and place where you won’t be interrupted and can talk in private.

Whilst it is helpful to be able to see your facial expressions, some of my clients (initially) prefer not to be on camera. And that’s perfectly ok too.

Yes. We’ll discuss any requirements and come to a mutually agreed solution.
