PERSONAL LIFE COACHING

Who benefits ?
People describe feeling supported and having a gap in their lives being filled. They finish what they start and stay on track in creating the changes they want in their lives. Those who are 18 or 90 can benefit from having the skilled services of a Life Coach.

Is Coaching therapy?
Coaching should never be considered a replacement for medical or psychological treatment. It is not therapy and does not deal with the past or issues of a psychological nature.

Coaching is looking at the present and moving forward with Authentic Action.

Is Coaching a new concept?
The practice of coaching, mentoring, training and encouraging individuals has been around for a very long time. Almost everyone has had an experience of giving coaching or being coached at one time or another, perhaps because it happens rather naturally. Today coaching broadens into areas of personal achievement, career, as well as one's life at home.

1. Is someone in whose presence people are freed up to see who they truly are. Often people limit the expression of who they are. A friend or relative may have a bias from their previous knowledge of you and their own needs i.e., “How can you hate your job after all the time and energy you have put into your education and training?"
2. Supports people to create goals that demonstrate the intentions they hold most closely in their hearts. A friend or relative may have their own agenda to contend with; i.e., “You want to move to Paris? I’ll never see you!”
3. Helps or supports people to design and take Authentic Action that will lead them to reaching their goal. Coaching is a true partnership where the client determines the agenda yet has the highest level of support and guidance in fulfilling it --. We’re in it together.

How long does it take to get the benefit of coaching?
Coaching is a process that happens over time since it is a client driven service. However progress is acknowledge at each meeting. I encourage my clients to experience some small, sweet successes first before tackling the BIG ONE.

How does coaching work?
Regular meetings and check-ins are an essential part of the coaching process. You determine what is preferable given your situation. The sessions can be done in person or by telephone. Check-ins can be by phone or email. The sessions are usually about 50 – 60 minutes. An initial meeting is free of charge so you can determine if coaching is right for you.

Our relationship is a partnership built on understanding, honest, and positive feedback.
