I believe in the power of coaching. Coaching enables us to draw a self-portrait of our minds and emotions.
It liberates us to make different and positive choices. It guides us to plan for the future, born from our strengths, values and desires.
Plans which we own - and which we will follow to fulfilment.
Working Together
We run a number of programmes typically up to 6 sessions, tailored to your specific needs and situation. We are happy to personalise a programme from any elements of the programmes offered. We can flex and adjust, adding in or subtracting elements, in order to get the best possible outcome for you.
We will explore your strengths, your values and what gives you energy, and align these to your goals and ambitions. We will help you with your challenges, any concerns or unhelpful beliefs - working through these to deal with anything which could hold you back or cause you to lose energy or focus.
Sessions can be supported by additional reading, podcasts, videos, exercises, preparation and reflection in your own time. The final session encourages resolutions and action planning to ensure ongoing progress and growth.
Coaching is an investment in yourself, which will pay dividends over and over both now and in the future. To succeed you need to find some "you time", and you need to be committed, open-minded and ready to challenge yourself.
Our initial 30-45 minute conversation is free of charge and without obligation. It will provide a taster of our coaching approach and will check that our coach is right for you.
We receive between £1,200 - £1,800 for a typical 6-session programme, which can vary depending on who is funding the coaching. Special discounts and pro bono sessions are available for charities.
We also provide one-off, ad hoc and regular coaching and mentoring support, at an hourly rate, with discounts for regular sessions.
A free follow-up session is offered within 6 months of the programme's completion. A full no-quibble refund will be given if, for any reason, you choose not to complete a session or a programme.
Collaborating with other coaches
For Group and Team coaching, I work with a select number of other qualified coaches, from other walks of life, with complementary strengths and similar values. They are great listeners, empathetic and 100% on your side.
We follow the International Coaching Federation code of ethics, with 100% confidentiality guaranteed.
