1:1 coaching

Why opt for coaching?

Coaching is future-facing. If you choose coaching, you are likely to have a fairly clear idea of what you want to achieve, but may be unsure what the steps are to get you to where you want to be. Perhaps you have tried in vain to achieve your goal, leading to frustration and a compounded sense of failure.

As your coach, I will not be providing solutions or answers - you can find these in abundance in books and via the internet. I will use my counselling skills - careful, empathic listening, gentle and appropriate challenge, joining up the dots - to help you to clarify for yourself:

• your purpose
• your goal
• your motivation
• possible obstacles preventing you from achieving your goal
• specific steps towards success
• your potential
• your resourcefulness

I will then support you to draw up a realistic action plan which will take you step by step towards success.

The coaching process means - as with counselling - that you are actively in control and nothing is being 'done' to you. As well as helping you achieve your goal, coaching empowers you to have confidence in your own ability - not only to achieve a goal but to solve your own problems. That is a reward that endures.
