Personal Life Coaching

Where are you now? > Where do you want to be? > How to bridge the gap?

 

My aim is to provide encouragement, inspiration and practical support so that you can reach your true potential and live your life to the full. You may know yourself very well, but looking back at your past experiences can keep you stuck in the past.

 

I am based in Harbury, near Leamington Spa, Warwickshire and carry out coaching at the Traditional Acupuncture Clinic in Leamington Spa, or can arrange coaching at a venue that may be more suitable for you. If you live elsewhere there is no problem at all as Life Coaching can be done by phone and many coaches work solely in this way. It is also possible to have a combination of face-to-face and phone coaching to suit your requirements.

 

The coaching relationship is different from the one you have with your family or friends. The coach is an impartial bystander who does not give advice but who empowers you to identify your values and beliefs, and ultimately to make lasting and powerful changes. Life Coaching is suitable for everyone, whatever your age, current lifestyle, and no matter how busy you are.

 

Clients often describe the following benefits of Life Coaching

 

  • more clarity about their direction in life
  • confidence in their own ability to change
  • the impetus to take a new idea and turn it into reality
  • insight into behaviour that holds them back
  • a more positive outlook on life

 

Life Coaching is carried out face-to-face or by phone (or a combination of the two) and sessions are held on a regular basis at times most convenient for you. Between sessions we can keep in contact by e-mail. At every session we will agree tasks that are to be completed before the next session. These are an essential part of the coaching process as they enable you to make steady and effective progress. Carrying out these exercises keeps you focused, and knowing that you are accountable to someone is highly motivating!

 

If you would like a free initial consultation (with absolutely no obligation) please contact me to arrange a suitable time for a phone call or meeting. This is your opportunity to discover for yourself how Life Coaching can benefit you, as it has many others. You can also ask any questions you may have about the coaching process.

Counselling or Life Coaching?

 

Counselling or other therapies may be the more appropriate form of support. For some people, it may be in order to deal with the effects following a traumatic experience in the past. The therapist will explore the patient’s past and use techniques to help their recovery.

 

Life Coaching is not about the past, but focuses on the present and the future. The coach works alongside the client, using techniques that enable the client to create clear outcomes. In the process, the client may well notice that any barriers they had do not necessarily stop them from achieving their desired outcome.

 

In our initial consultation we can explore whether Life Coaching is appropriate for you.
