Accountability

I work with clients for varying periods of time dependent on their needs. To see results, I suggest weekly or fortnightly sessions over a minimum period of 3 months.

As a coach I provide support through strong, unconditional service to your needs and a pool of creative questions and techniques to help you step outside yourself and examine your life as an observer.

My approach balances science and intuition in equal measure and I bring flexibility and compassion to sessions with my clients.

In return, I expect commitment and action on your part. We can search through the maze and find the door together, but it is up to you to walk through it.

Coaching in its purest form provides a space (also known as a container) to think in an uninhibited way and explore new ways of being. A good coach actively creates this space through the things they are both doing and not doing.

A good coach, listens completely, doesn’t interrupt, helps you discover inconsistencies and brings a tailored selection of techniques that bring clarity and separation to thoughts. In turn, this separation allows the client to focus on one thing at a time.

Overwhelm can be caused by many different things becoming tangled and threaded together sub-optimally in the mind. When this threading is untangled, inconsistencies addressed and new information processed, the mind is no longer hindered. A weight is lifted. Circular thoughts are removed and turned into action. Life resumes.

If you feel hampered and hindered, like something is holding you back, it could be a simple case of inconsistent firing. When an engine fires inconsistently, a car cannot operate at its peak performance. A ‘mind mechanic’ can help you repair your engines and get you back in the driving seat.

It can be hard to imagine what you will receive from coaching, mainly because its beauty lies in bringing things into awareness that currently lie outside of your perception. If that sounds too out there, then coaching may not be for you. If you are curious, the best way to understand what it can do for you is to experience it yourself. 

I offer a free 45-minute discovery session to anyone interested in experiencing coaching.  

My approach as a coach is to create an environment of confidentiality where you can trust that any conversation we have will only ever be between us. 

I bring a calm presence that I have actively cultivated through introspection, yoga and meditation. 

I have 15 years experience sharing knowledge with adults and children in 1-2-1 and group scenarios as a music teacher. 

I adhere to the highest standards of coaching as set out by the ICF (International Coaching Federation) and the AC (Association of Coaching). I am currently studying for my ICF-accredited Diploma in Transformational Coaching with the Animas Centre for Coaching.

I believe that trust and mutual respect are central to a successful coaching relationship. 

My mission is to create a space that is open, safe and confidential for my clients. You are important, you matter and I am here to listen to you unconditionally and without judgement. 

But I am also here to challenge you. I will reflect back what I hear and let you decide whether your thoughts stand up to scrutiny. 

As a client, you will find that the more willing you are to explore your thoughts and feelings, the more readily change will start to flourish. 

The benefits of coaching rely on a certain level of receptivity and action from the client. The more open you are to explore different connections and the more willing you are to be introspective, the faster you will see results. 

Coaching is inherently non-directive. A coach does not give advice. To do so would be to limit a client’s options and prevent them from discovering their own best solution. 

This is the difference between coaching and mentoring. Mentors do give advice, guiding others to follow in their footsteps and supporting their own unique journey. A coach can also provide mentoring in areas where they have expertise. 

A consultant gives advice and helps to facilitate solutions. Again, a coach can also offer consulting services in conjunction with their coaching. 

Despite these crossovers, a coach offering such services should be well-versed in wearing different hats to serve the client appropriately. Coaching requires a completely different skillset to consulting and mentoring. A coach helps the client find their own best solution. A consultant or mentor gives the client their best solution. 

Coaching is designed to take people from functional to exceptional. It explores where you are now and where you want to be in the future. It focusses on solutions and goals. It can be termed as a proactive approach. 

Therapy and counselling deal primarily with dysfunction and deep-seated traits and issues. Although coaching can work in tandem with counselling, it is not a substitute for professional therapy treatment and isn’t designed to be treated as such.
