The way to get started is to quit talking and get doing.

Introduction
Think for a moment about what you want to do, who you want to be, and what you want to have. And now imagine doing that, being that, having that now. Right now. Notice what a difference it makes to how you feel about you, about those around you, about your possibilities and choices, about life. And now imagine yourself marking off the milestones, overcoming the barriers, and enjoying the success. You know you are ready to take the first step, you know you are worth more, and you definitely know that life can be better, don't you?
Do I Need a Coach?
If there's anything about your life now that could be working better, if there's anything stopping you from having the future that you want, if you have a sense that while life is OK there could be something more, a coach can help you move from where you are now, assist you in overcoming the barriers to the future that you want, and support you as you make the plans and set the goals to transform your life from what is is now to what you want it be.
You are the expert on you. You know who you are, where you're from, and you understand the life you've had to bring you to where you are now. You're understanding of your reality of now is, though, coloured and affected by your experiences, your beliefs, your values, all formed by people and events. It means that, at times, we are blinkered by those experiences, limited by the actions and inactions of others, and seemingly stuck in an unbreakable cycle. As a coach, I can assist you in re-evaluating those experiences, events, and people, I can support you to address your limiting beliefs, I can help you understand your values and beliefs, and, above all else, I can guide you as you plan and work towards a compelling, exciting future in which you become more, in which you are the real you, in which you are differently.

What Can Coaching Help With?
Coaching can help with anything which requires you to make change. Change in behaviour. Change in thinking. Change in attitude. If you're not sure, take a step back and ask yourself: am I living the life I want to live? Am I doing the things I want to do? Do I have the things I want to have? Am I being the things I want to be? Is my future (tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, the next 10, 20, 30 years) exciting and compelling? If your answer is "no" to any or all of the questions, a coach could be the way forward. Alternatively, ask yourself if you feel that you are moving forward or if you feel stuck. If you're moving forward, carry on doing what you're doing. If you're stuck, a coach can help.

The Coaching Process
|
The First Conversation
Prior to starting any coaching relationship, it's important to establish that we are right for each other, and that the services I provide are right for you. A free phone or Zoom call allows us to have a conversation about what you want to achieve, how I might assist you, and whether we want to proceed. |
The First Session
The first session, lasting up to 2 hours, is about getting to know you, understanding what you want to change, looking at barriers to success, and establishing well-formed goals which enable you to move from where you are to where you want to be. |
Subsequent Sessions
All subsequent sessions, each up to an hour, involve change work if needed, letting go of issues from the past, providing clarity on what matters to you, and observing progress as you move to your new model of the world. These sessions provide time to overcome any barriers, and monitor your progress. |
The Techniques
All of the work that I do is underpinned by Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), coaching, and hypnosis techniques. Coaching puts you at the heart of the process, establishing your goals and your routes to success. It's a model which requires you to identify your skills, your knowledge, and any barriers to success. The coaching approach is non-directive, and my role as a coach is to ensure that you progress confidently and positively.
The Commitment
If we decide to work together, we agree to work for up to six sessions. I firmly believe that almost all change work can be completed in six or fewer sessions, and you gain the skills to continue with your progress. You pay for each session as we arrange them, and if we complete the work in fewer than six sessions, you have only paid for the sessions that you need.
Your commitment is to agree to the first two sessions to be within one or two weeks of each other. Your other commitment is to complete the tasks to which you agree in each of our sessions. It really is that simple.

Costs
A first full session, of up to 2 hours, costs £50. Each subsequent session, of up to 1 hour, costs £40. If you need six sessions, the maximum number that I usually offer, you invest in yourself a total of £250.
