What is Coaching?


A coach supports you in discovering and achieving what you want for an area of your life.

Coaching recognises that it is always you who holds the answers. A coach helps you to determine and act on the solutions that are right for you.

Benefits of coaching

Coaching enables you to:
  • Discover what is really important to you
  • Increase your confidence and resolve doubts
  • Explore different options and perspectives
  • Get from where you are now to where you want to be
  • Move forward more quickly than you would alone

Why hire me

Every coach brings their own personality, experience and strengths to a coaching relationship. It’s a good idea to try out a few coaches before settling on the one you’d like to work with. Many coaches offer a complimentary first session which gives you an opportunity to see who you relate best to.

Some of the things I can offer are

  • Personal experience of making successful career and life changes
  • A warm and positive style
  • A confidential space for you to be listened to without judgment
  • A light sense of humour
  • My belief in your ability to achieve the life you want

What coaching isn’t

Coaching is different from consulting or therapy. Coaches do not provide “expert advice” and they are not trained to explore deep-rooted issues at a therapeutic level.

Coaches are skilled in areas such as listening, asking the right questions to move you forward, and developing strategies to reach your goals. Coaching is most appropriate when you are ready to take action, the past is not an issue for the area you want to be coached on, and you are willing to do the work to find your own answers.
