Life Coaching

What is Life Coaching?
Life coaching offers the individual an opportunity to benefit from a number of different techniques that will equip them with the knowledge and skills to be able to continue on their journey of personal development. Life coaching is as much about considering and working through any blockages or negative thought processes as it is about setting and achieving goals. People who enter the life coaching process will each have their own individual story, so it can be difficult to estimate how long you may benefit from engaging in life coaching. For some this may involve just one session on a specific issue (rapid intervention), while for others it may involve many sessions (holistic approach). As a rough guide I would estimate an average engagement lasting for around 4-5 sessions.

I offer an initial half hour meeting for no charge. This will give us both the opportunity to discuss what your needs are and how I can help you.

How does it work?
As a life coach I have the knowledge and skills to successfully apply, adapt and draw on a range of techniques. These include neurolinguistic programming (NLP), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), counselling and, of course, goal setting and goal achievement, which are at the heart of life coaching. I would not underestimate these techniques as standalone therapies or treatments and would not claim to be a therapist in each of them individually. I do, however, have the professional qualifications and experience to be able to offer a combination of the above in a flexible, creative and dynamic way to support and empower the individual to identify and achieve their dreams.
