Life Coaching

A good life coach is not like a sports coach. A tennis coach may directly instruct you on how to best construct a serve or backhand, but my role as a life coach is different. I won’t instruct you and I’ll only rarely, if ever, offer my own advice. I can teach you methods to approach any of the issues that you face to maximise positive outcomes. You can learn to breakdown negative patterns that you have fallen into. I can guide you to help you find what is right for you. No-one knows how to live your life better than you do.

If you find yourself struggling to progress in any area of your life or if you just need to give your thoughts clarity and allow yourself the time and freedom to explore the best direction for you to aim, you will probably benefit from working with me as your life coach.

Have you ever been stuck with a problem that you just can’t figure out and then managed to find the answer just by explaining it to someone else? It happens to people all the time. Talking things through and explaining the hurdles you face can often be enough on it’s own. I can guide you through a process of exploring your issues and help you to recognise ways that you can progress and skills you can use to enhance your situation and solve problems.

With the majority of clients I like to use hypnotherapy alongside the coaching. This can be a wonderful addition to life coaching because as you come to find your way in life there's nothing better that a boost of motivation and energy. Hypnotherapy can help you to access any state of mind that you need at the times you need it. Imagine being able to flick a switch in your mind that can help you feel confident, relaxed and motivated.

Most consultations last around 80 minutes although the first will often be a little longer.
