PERSONAL 1:1 COACHING

 

How could life coaching help you?

Ask anyone who has experienced coaching for themselves, and they will tell you that it has changed their life. 
It is the process of change and improvement, so if you have an area of your life that you are not fully satisfied with and you would like to improve, then coaching is for you.

Do you...

  • Feel stuck in your job, want to get back to work, or would like a promotion?

  • Feel you have lost your confidence, and self-doubt is taking over?

  • Feel you are drowning in stress and not sure how to cope?

  • Feel you are not living the life you want and need to make changes before it’s too late?

  • Have certain aims in life, but you have not started yet, and want help to find the motivation?

Do you want to...

  • Develop your confidence and self-esteem and get back control?

  • Work out goals for your career and personal life, and ensure you achieve them?

  • Make significant changes and improvements to your current situation?

  • Juggle work and family demands and significantly reduce your stress?

  • Overcome limiting beliefs and behavioural patterns?

  • Ultimately, get more out of your life, feel happier, more confident, and less stressed!

If any of these apply to you, then it’s time you discovered the benefits of personal coaching. As a specialist Confidence & Life Coach, an NLP Practitioner, and a Level-2 Acceptance Commitment Therapist, with over 20 years of experience, I will work with you to permanently close the gap between where you are now and where you want to be in the future, with completely confidential in-person, online via Zoom, or telephone sessions, along with email support in between. I coach during the day, some evenings, and often have weekend availability.

FAQs: How Can Life Coaching Help You?

What is the main difference between life coaching and therapy?

When coaching adults, I draw heavily on the power of actionable steps and strategies to achieve change and improvement in their lives, and help them achieve what they want to achieve. I believe that life coaching is about where the client is today, where they want to be in the future, and how to close the gap - whether that’s at work, in their private life, their social and love life, or in their overall wellness. My coaching is very future-focused and draws on committed, actionable strategies to ensure change, improvement, decisions, and growth.

In contrast, therapy, in my opinion, is about where someone is today and why. What in their past is influencing their present? It generally focuses on healing past emotional wounds together.

How does confidence coaching help me overcome self-doubt and imposter syndrome?

My confidence coaching approach is to identify the root causes of self-doubt and work with you, helping you to replace the limiting beliefs you have with much more empowering thought patterns. We will use practical tools to help you build your presence, communicate confidently, and feel more comfortable outside of your comfort zone, ultimately helping you to believe in yourself, expand your confidence, and feel unstoppable in the areas most important to you.

Who is coaching for?

Coaching is for anyone ready to invest in personal growth, regardless of their current success level, because there is always room for growth and development, we never stop learning and expanding. Many clients come to me feeling unfulfilled or are facing a major life transition (like a career change, starting university life, the menopause, or a divorce). I help you define what success and happiness mean to you and work with you, helping you create an actionable plan and supporting you to get you there.

How long does coaching typically take?

Results often start showing after just a few sessions, but you may decide to go a little deeper. I do not tie anyone into a set number of 121 sessions; instead, you, the client, decide whether you have reached your coaching goal, or whether a session or two more would be helpful. I believe the power of coaching is to empower the client to make decisions and changes, and that starts with decisions around how long you want to work together, so we go one at a time.

I feel overwhelmed by my job. Can coaching help me manage work stress?

Absolutely. Stress coaching is highly effective for managing work stress and preventing burnout. I focus on developing robust coping mechanisms, improving boundary setting, and creating better work-life balance. This ensures you can handle pressure without feeling overwhelmed or compromising your health.

What format does a coaching session take?

Coaching is a one-to-one relationship between a client and the coach. Regular sessions are held, either face-to-face in my home office near Basingstoke, or via Zoom. Weekly tasks and exercises will be agreed upon by the end of each session, and these actions, or activities, will be undertaken by you, the client in order to apply what we have covered. E-mail support between sessions is available if required.

Often, a coaching relationship will last between 2 and 6 weekly sessions, but you will begin to enjoy the benefits from the very first session. The coaching relationship can, of course, last for as long or as short as you want it to.

I trained and qualified with the Life Coaching Academy, Europe’s leading Coaching Organisation, and am an NLP Practitioner, have a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, have training in Counselling skills and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and am an accredited Menopause and Wellness Coach.
