About me
I have been coaching for more than 25 years. I bring long experience of managing constant change to my coaching. My approach is to encourage self exploration by the use of key questioning and empathetic listening. I have a keen interest in helping people develop both personally and professionally and am particularly strong in building rapport and supporting clients in identifying and achieving their goals. My own driving values are honesty, integrity and personal responsibility and I expect my coaching clients to approach their own development with the same sense of ownership and personal responsibility. I will challenge and support clients, adopting the role of challenging friend and hopefully make our conversations fun too.
I can help identify key life and professional goals, supporting clients in dealing with current issues or taking new directions in their lives and careers and taking action to make their goals reality. It may be the desire for a new career path, how to build more exercise into an already busy life or how to deal with difficult relationships. The principles of client-centred coaching remain constant. The solution lies with the client and the coach’s role is to help them bring it to the surface and make it happen.
I coach face to face, depending on location, or by telephone or Skype. Face to face can be within reasonable travelling time from Aylesbury or in London.
