New Ideas

We are often too busy living our lives to wonder how they could be different or more in-tune with our purpose. Coaching provides a space to explore what the future could be like.

Peace of Mind

Recurring thoughts are your subconscious mind trying to communicate with you. Coaching can provide a space to bring these subconscious motives to light and explore where they could take you.

Progress

There might be some area of your personal or professional life that isn’t quite how you would like it. Coaching can assist in building new habits, branching out as an entrepreneur, changing jobs or career, and any other big changes in your life.

Accountability

Talking through things is one thing, taking action is another. Coaching gives you the clear plan and the accountability to smash through your goals and create the future you’ve always dreamed of.

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 has grown to cover what would more traditionally be called training or mentoring. I worked for 16 years as a trainer and mentor with groups and individuals learning to play musical instruments. Pure coaching is more traditionally what is known as leadership, asking questions and creating space so that someone can come to their own conclusions about the best way to move forward. I trained in Pure Coaching in 2021 while building my practice. So you get the best of both worlds: a trainer who can break things down into simple terms, a mentor who can keep you accountable, and a coach who can help you dig deep inside yourself to discover what feels right for you.

The power of pure coaching comes from facilitating a space where you can search deeply for the answers that only you have. 

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.
