Do you sometimes act in ways that you find frustrating and confusing?
You are not alone! The primary aim of our minds is to try to keep us safe from threat. This can be really useful - we need our minds to move us away from threats quickly and effectively! However, sometimes our brain makes the wrong predictions, sees the world in ways that aren't necessarily helpful, and can lead us to develop thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour that just don't serve us. We fear judgement from others, getting things wrong, being excluded, or being emotionally hurt. When this happens, we can put up barriers, and allow our thoughts and feelings to drive our actions and this often shows up as us behaving unlike the person we truly aspire to be.
How can you move past the behaviours that are standing in the way of the life you really want?
My coaching approach is largely based around the Acceptance and Commitment Coaching model. which is based on the premise that difficult thoughts and emotions are something that we all experience from time to time, but that those thoughts and feeling can sometimes keep us stuck and prevent us from taking action towards what’s most important and meaningful to us. I help my clients to connect to their personal and professional values, to help them move through self-doubt, imposter thoughts, challenges with confidence and indecision and become the leader or manager they aspire to be.
What can you expect from a coaching session with me?
You can expect my coaching sessions to be supportive, challenging and action-focused, working as a true thinking partner to explore what sustained and meaningful change looks like to you and helping you to explore effective ways to achieve it.
What qualifications do I have?
Qualifications are super-important to me! I want to reassure all my clients that I have the skills and knowledge to support the work I am doing with them. I have two degrees in psychology, a team coaching practitioner certification, a Professional Coaching Diploma and attend regular CPD courses to keep my skills sharp and up to date. I am accredited with the International Coaching Federation and abide by their code of ethics. I am also a member of the British Psychological Society, including the Coaching Psychology chapter ad am currently working toward chartered psychologist status. I receive regular coaching supervision to maintain the quality and integrity of my work
How much does it cost?
Change takes time, and so I recommend that you book 6 sessions so that we have a chance to embed and reflect on the changes you want to make. I charge £750 for 6 sessions. However, I believe that coaching should be accessible to all, and so if you are going through a period a financial difficulty I will exchange 3 coaching sessions for a donation to a mental health charity (I won't see the amount you donate!). I trust you to decide if this is the right option for you.
