Helping you find the life you want
Working with you
I am naturally curious about what makes people tick and bring both warmth and intuition to my coaching. I am passionate about helping people work out who they are, what they want and how they can move forwards. By recognising what really matters to us, and knowing the strengths, passions and skills we offer, I believe we can all flourish.
I bring a wealth of experience to coaching. As a secondary school teacher, photographer (working with corporate clients, small groups and individuals) and CEO of a charity, I have spent years working with people to put them at ease whilst aiming to draw out the best in them.
My professional background feeds into my work as a Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and makes me an empathetic and supportive listener, as I create space for you to talk.
A strengths based approach
I aim to draw out the best in you. I believe in identifying our strengths and working with them to fulfil our potential. This gives us a positive platform, grounded in the tenets of positive psychology, from which to launch ourselves to fulfil our potential and maximise our performance.
“All big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision. But as that decision is repeated, a habit sprouts and grows stronger. Roots entrench themselves and branches grow.”
— James Clear, Atomic Habits
Benefits of coaching
Listening
A coach listens deeply to what you’re saying and uses open questions to help you gain clarity around what you want and the next steps to take to achieve it. The offer of high calibre listening and quality of attention stimulates your creative mind to find ways forward.
Achieving your goals
Working with a coach can help you not only articulate your goals but also achieve them, as you put in steps to help you reach your destination. By exploring the options available to you, you will be able to identify what’s next and create a realistic and actionable plan.
Thinking
Being listened to – really listened to – gives you time and space to think. By creating a thinking environment, it is possible for your thinking to ‘move further, go faster, plumb insights, banish block and produce brand-new, exactly needed ideas in record time.’ Nancy Klein
Self-discovery
By helping you explore your reality, frustrations, confused thinking and limiting beliefs, a coach can help move you on to a place where you can identify your values, strengths, beliefs and motivators.
Confidence
As you discover the real you and map out your path forwards, you will feel a sharper focus about life which builds confidence and determination to help you find the life you want.
Light-bulb moments
A life coach supports you to find the flicker of light when you suddenly find your answer. It is these ‘a-ha’ moments, when something becomes clear, that enable you to work out how you can move forwards.
Support
Providing encouragement, affirmation and partnering with you, a life coach cheers you on and supports you as you follow through on your goals.
Habits
A life coach can enable you to identify blind spots and patterns of behaviour that don't serve you well, sabotaging success. Breaking through such barriers empowers us to live our best lives, an important breakthrough on our journey to achieving our goals.
