About Coaching
What is Coaching?
In its simplest form, coaching is a conversation between a coach and coachee, where the coach creates a safe container in which to create insight and transform your life. It is valuable because none of us transform our thinking on our own. “Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential.” (ICF definition)
Coaching is a forward focussed, solution-based facilitation that supports an individual in achieving their goals. The process takes you from where you currently are in your life to where you want to be. Coaching raises self-awareness, gives you clarity, the ability to reflect and then to take action that enable you to move forwards in your life. Coaches are essentially thinking partners focused on helping clients use their creativity and resources to see beyond their blocks and solve their own problems.
Coaching can be used to create results in any area of your life - personal and professional. It allows you to expand your way of thinking, to grow, to discover who you are, your values, your strengths, what matters most to you, want you want, what’s stopping you. It provides a framework and accountability for you to implement actions to reach your desired outcomes.
Coaching works on the premise that you have all the answers within you. My job as your coach is to provide that space for you to discover this through using a variety of skills, tools and strategies that I am trained in.
As your coach I am your cheerleader, your guide, your support, your confidant, your thinking partner, your mirror, your motivator. I walk along-side you, every step of the way, guiding you to the goals and success you crave. I invite you to reflect on your own thinking. It’s more than being accountable - it’s about digging deep, looking at your inner world, what’s holding you back, implementing strategies to propel you forwards, and gain clarity around confusing decisions or situations you are faced with.
Do you yearn to create a life with meaning, joy, happiness and purpose - one you cannot wait to wake up to each day and one you have to tear yourself away from at night? As a Certified Life Coach my mission is to help you do just that.
Perhaps you want to leave your 9 to 5 job and embrace an entrepreneurial adventure? Perhaps you already have a business or an idea you are passionate about but you don’t know how to get it off the ground. Perhaps you have come to a cross-roads with your relationship, your children have left home, you want more fun in your life. Or you don’t know what you need, but you feel there is something missing and you want more from life….more love, more connection, more peace, more purpose, more fulfilment, more happiness, more fun, ore joy….
I coach men and women in business and privately in all areas of life. I invite you to come on a voyage with me and I will help navigate you towards your goals and successes and create a better life and happier life for yourself.

Why Choose Me as Your Life Coach?
There are all manner of life and wellbeing coaches available to work with and their styles, training and expertise vary vastly. It is important you find a coach that you absolutely resonate with, someone you feel you can trust. Someone you enjoy spending time with. Someone who makes you feel good. One of my clients once said to me “I feel better for just being with you”. This is what you should be aiming for. The coaching journey can be a straightforward goal setting exercise for a specific short term goal or a deeper-dive into the whole human experience, reconnecting with who you are, changing your priorities and allowing you to become the best version of you.
