"I am asking you to believe, not in my ability
to bring about change, but in yours."
Barak Obama
The International Coach Federation describes coaching as "partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential."
For me, coaching is about listening deeply and openly, reflecting back with curiosity - not judgement - and exploring together what is and what might be. Good coaching should open up your world and enable you to discover practical options for change that feel doable (if new and challenging), as well as a safe place to talk about what you notice.
Together we get to the core of blocks and create motivational goals for change. Working with me, clients say they move from stuck thinking and behaviour to clarity and action, with the inner resources to tackle their challenges with refreshed energy and new ideas.
I am based in south London and coach face-to-face, and via Skype / Zoom / phone - all work well. Sessions typically last up to an hour, and take place for a fixed time period.
I know from the coaching I have done myself that achieving lasting change takes a coaching partnership based on courage, honesty and effort. At the same time, the impact of these conversations can be really empowering and liberating. I love my work, and look forward to hearing from you - do get in touch.
