My approach - how it works

My approach to coaching is based on empathy, listening and challenging with permission. I like to incorporate in elements of Mindfulness, Gestalt and Positive Psychology, but only when relevant and suitable for the client. I am very flexible in my approach and always try to put the needs of the client first, and to listen more than I talk.

I believe that coaching really works but it is important to find the right coach for you at the right time in your life. Therefore, an important part of my coaching process is to have a free 10-minute consultation where I explain my coaching process, you can ask any questions and decide whether I am the right coach for you.

What happens?

Coaching can mean so many different things to different people, and so I find it is important to explain about my process. Each interaction will be different in terms of quantity of sessions, but all interactions will start with a consultation which aims to give you an opportunity to find out about me as a coach and whether I am the right coach for you. Then if you want to proceed I can share my coaching contract and we can discuss how many sessions you would like.

Typically my sessions last between 60-90 minutes, but everyone has different preferences so if you would prefer something else then we can explore that. Each session will be unique to the client, but I will start by finding out what you want to explore in coaching, and what matters to you. From then we will use a series of structured conversations, relevant models and tools to help you move forward.

I offer all my sessions online, which means that coaching can fit around your busy life and I can be flexible about offering sessions.
