About me
"Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will!"
A warm welcome to my profile. I have been in the field of emotional growth and wellbeing for over 20 years & have contributed to many people making a positive change in their life, including through my PhD in developing a behaviour change model for emotional growth and development.
How Coaching can help
You may be feeling stressed or 'not good enough!'. Or wanting to make a big life decision or small manageable changes. Coaching can give you a safe space to explore what is hindering you from achieving your goal and what can help you move on and achieve these goals.
I can adapt the Coaching approach to your needs by using a variety of short-term, solution-focused and evidence-based approaches such as; Single Session Coaching, Cognitive Behavioural Coaching, Acceptance and Commitment Coaching, Compassion-focused Approach, Couples Coaching and many more. I have a background in clinical research and so I remain up-to-date with innovative and evidence based models for emotional wellbeing and personal development.
I have a private practice predominantly working with adults. My specialist interest areas are, Personal Development and Growth, Imposter Syndrome, Confidence and Self-esteem building, and Stress & Anxiety management. I also provide a number of workshops in organisational and community settings.
I believe in the importance of good self-care, including regular exercise and a healthy diet, for optimum physical and emotional wellbeing. My style is solution-focused, integrative, and adaptable. I use a number of Coaching models, such as GROW, SPACE, and Cognitive Behavioural Coaching. I am also a fully qualified BACP registered Counsellor, BPS approved Chartered Psychologist, and a trained Coach Member of the Association for Coaching. I am trained in multiple techniques and models for various psychological and day-to-day stress related conditions. Loss of confidence at work and low self-esteem is an example of what I have recently worked with. Low motivation and mood, anxious feelings, and burnout are also common reasons people come to me. I work with Corporate Organisations and Individuals seeking Private Coaching.
I offer an initial consultation over the phone. Please send me an email or call me to book a consultation. This gives both of us a chance to learn about each other. It enables me to find out something about the nature of the difficulties that brought you here, and you to evaluate something about the way I work. We might discuss what our work together might look like, what your expectations are and whether I can meet them. It is an opportunity for you to get a sense of me as your Coach and to see whether this might be the right place for you. If I am unable to work with what you present, I will signpost you to another service more suited to your needs.
Through my coaching skills, I can assist you in this journey of achieving your goal and look forward to hearing from you.
