Coaching
The word ‘coach’ comes from the Old French coche – a means of getting from one place to a different place.
Coaching is about seeing and taking hold of what is important for you. It means becoming aware, unlocking resources, and where needed making changes. It simply involves honesty, some courage and a desire for something new or different or simply richer.
I work face-to-face, by phone or by Skype, all of which can be very effective. You may prefer face-to-face or you may find phone easier.
My approach to coaching is based in listening to you and hearing you as the person you are, treating all you say with respect and absolute confidentiality.
I combine deep care with a creative psychological understanding and practical focus, asking you to experiment with and experience what you are learning. I offer you my humanity and sense of humour, my wealth of experience, my insight and expertise as a coach, and my support, intuition and challenge.
Together we build a creative partnership, focused on discovering what really matters for you and unlocking your gifts, energy and courage to make any changes you want to make. You set the direction, we aim to help you find your own answers, and I ask you to take full responsibility for your success.
