As Counsellor/life coach my aim is to help and empower others to make, meet and exceed personal and professional goals – including excelling in the workplace, becoming happy and fulfilled in the home, exploring the self and the world, and achieving ambitions.
Using specialist techniques based on core psychological principals and natural intuition, to help provide clients with the tools to confidently face difficult situations, push past emotional barriers and eventually view life with fresh, hopeful and enlightened eyes.
Similar to a sports coach who enables athletes to hone themselves into the fastest, strongest, most tactical competitors in their disciplines, my aim is to help people from all professional and personal backgrounds improve their strengths and build upon their weaknesses to make the most of their lives.
My job is not to dish out advice because, giving advice is just a way of imposing a personal view of the world onto another person (who may or may not share the same view) and, secondly – it is not my job to become personally involved in a client’s life. Life coaching is about objectivity, structure and empowerment, not instruction or indoctrination.
At the heart of it all lies the idea that clients must be given the power to help themselves. Offering advice, opinions and judgments would undermine some of the basic principles behind Counselling/life coaching.
We all have different perspectives of the world – no one perspective is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, but some perspectives are restrictive and can stop a person becoming who they want to be.
I believe it is within everyone’s capability to adjust the limits of their own perspective. With the help of Counselling/life coaching, anyone can learn to open their mind if they wish.
My role is as a guide to provide the tools and support a person needs to do something for themselves. A Counsellor/life coach is a guide, not an instructor.
Session are conducted face to face and usually last between 50-60 minutes. During the session, we work together, making positive changes to move your life forward in the direction you want. All sessions are confidential, allowing you to explore your thoughts and feelings privately.
