Areas of coaching I deal with
Other areas of coaching I deal with
Hypnotherapy - e.g., relieving some of the anxiety as we live in increasingly challenging, changing times.
Personal performance coaching - be at your best.
Redundancy - identifying and creating opportunities e.g. not the end but the start of a new beginning.
Retirement - preparing for and enjoying something you have worked so hard to achieve.
Special Educational Needs/Disabilities, coaching in the workplace, supporting individuals with neurodiversity challenges impacting on performance, having supported students with dyslexia and other challenges, in functional skills (Maths & English), reading, business studies too, most importantly increasing their self-belief and confidence.
Fees
Free initial telephone or online session
Additional information
Very realistic fees and second to none-so clients tell me!
Available online video calls, telephone and with limited email, happy to offer ad hoc/single sessions or a course of 6 (discounted), and I won't suggest a minimum number of or continue sessions just for the sake of it!
Coaching for me has to work for both of us, so I'm happy to continue when there is a need - naturally you are completing agreed exercises that take you towards your goals...and will recommend ceasing when no longer required.
Interested in finding out more?
Please get in touch, I'm very happy to discuss any burning questions before meeting and starting your personal coaching / hypnotherapy programme.
Opportunity to chat through different options - always based on your needs, with 100% confidentiality guaranteed.
Complimentary 30 minute discovery call.
When we're both comfortable about working together we can either continue into a full coaching session, or book for another day - your decision, with sessions typically 60-75 minutes.
