Positive, honest, professional and results oriented. My style of coaching incorporates positive psychology, cognitive behavioural techniques and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP).

I offer a safe, yet challenging, environment in which you can express your feelings, work out and examine your goals and explore possible barriers to progress. As your life coach I will: - Listen and try to really understand you and the issues you are struggling with - Help you regain and maintain self-confidence and self-acceptance - Explore and examine your skills, values, goals, interests and choices - Explore barriers to progress - Help you achieve a sense of life purpose - Ask questions that can help you unlock your potential and gain a different perspective on life - Help you live a fulfilled and authentic life I aim to provide you with: - A non-judgemental and confidential sounding board - Effective tools and strategies - Plenty of choice: times and duration; face-to-face, telephone or skype sessions - Support via email or phone in-between sessions - Multiple and long-lasting benefits - A practical and goal-orientated process

The fundamental difference between counselling and life coaching is that counselling usually investigates the roots and causes of potential mental health problems, whereas life coaching focuses mainly on the future to encourage personal-development and self-improvement. Counselling focuses generally on the past, on an individual’s emotions and the counsellor is almost always considered the expert. Coaching is about the present and the future, it is focused on goals, actions and outcomes and in the coaching relationship the coach and the client are equal partners.

It is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in California, United States in the 1970s. Its creators claim a connection between the neurological processes ("neuro"), language ("linguistic") and behavioral patterns learned through experience ("programming") and that these can be changed to achieve specific goals in life. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is thought to be one of the most effective and accessible self-help methods to come from modern psychology. Many life coaches use NLP techniques to help 're-programme' clients' patterns of thinking and behaving.

You can have as many or as few life coaching sessions as you like. Sessions are scheduled to fit your lifestyle and budget. Some people hire a life coach once every few months, some people have a session once a week. It is entirely up to you to decide.

I offer phone and online sessions too so dont worry if you dont live locally.
