life coaching with me

---

I offer psychologically informed 1:1 life coaching to a wide range of clients, helping them transform and flourish. I specialise in building resilience in relationships. With trust and safety at the core of my work, I create a grounded, relatable environment where clients can develop deeper ‘under-the-surface’ awareness. Together, we strengthen the friends, family, and community support systems that play a vital role in cultivating resilience during times of stress.

A  DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITY 

Working  with a trusted coach can bring about emotional awareness that we can't always achieve by ourselves. Unlike mentoring or counselling, coaching is a primarily a non-directive experience, where the coach and client  together to create a psychologically safe space to allow the leader to stand back from their everyday life and reflect on building insights and seeking meaningful change.  

Life Coaching is centred around the formation of a trusting relationship between the client and coach

Life Coaching can help us  challenge our  existing mental frameworks and forms of thought in order to encourage deep connections between thinking and feeling. It can  help us utilise the actions and learning that arise in the coaching sessions to implement adaptive and versatile new strategies to help us cope and  better achieve what we want to in our lives.  In life coaching  we can look back to the past to help us work to future goals , but  it is very distinct from therapy or counselling., where people seek to heal deep emotional wounds. 

I  am friendly,  relatable and down to earth.  I bring over thirty years of experience as a chartered research psychologist to offer my psychologically informed life coaching sessions.  We can do a  one-off deep dive or book a series of sessions.  We always begin with a 30-45 minute initial free  consultation to see if we are a good fit working together.

ROLE OF THE CLIENT

I always position my clients as people who  bring their understanding and knowledge of their everyday  context to the coaching.  Working together we can allow insights and clarity about what can be holding us back  to emerge. 

ROLE OF THE COACH 

The coach’s role  in the working relationship is to create the conditions for reflective learning, allowing the client to gain further insight and perspectives.  As a fully qualified and experienced  coach I:- 

• Adhere to strict codes of professional practice and guaranteeing the confidentiality of an individual  information by employing clear boundaries in the contracting of the coaching terms and conditions.
• Bringing strong coaching skills and competences and secure ways of relating. 
• Communicate transparently and effectively with the client  including establishing pathways for feedback and reviews of progress made.
