I offer a range of coaching services to individuals and organisations.  Coaching does not focus on things that are causing distress, but instead involves identifying and striving toward specific goals that are desired.  This means that coaching is generally more suited to times where things are generally OK and where further improvement or clarity is sought, rather than in times of upset or emotional distress.

How I coach

I use psychological concepts and principles to coach people reach their goals by first, identifying what these goals are (a process that can be more complicated than it sounds!), and then by looking the barriers that are preventing these being goals achieved. Most of these barriers are psychological, such as limiting beliefs or low self-esteem, however some are lifestyle related, such as a lack of time or money. Coaching involves finding solutions and then by planning and implementing change in a structured way.

Types of coaching

I offer life coaching, which focuses on identifying and working toward specific goals linked to improving quality of life and personal fulfillment,  career coaching, which focuses on  personality/work fit, exploring what types of career may be most rewarding to you, and executive coaching, which is commonly employed by those in  highly successful roles wishing further enhancement and development. 

Cost and contract

My coaching services are organised in the same way, and subject to the same fees, as my therapy services. I meet all coaching clients for a one-off initial session to talk through your goals and to explore how best to meet these.  Following this, and if appropriate, we will agree a ‘contract’ for our further work. This is generally for between 6-8 sessions of face-to-face, telephone and email contact.
