Coaching

Although in many ways counselling and coaching can feel the same, whilst counselling tends to focus more on your thoughts and feelings, while coaching is more directed towards forward-planning and changing behaviour. A skilled coach can help you find your own answers to your problems and work out solutions that are likely to be effective and sustainable.

Coaching can be useful in your personal or your professional life. If you’re planning a change of career, a big house move, your next steps after a big life change, or just want some more focus in your life, coaching can be effective to help you focus on your goals. It can also be helpful to support you in strategising to manage the impact that various forms of neurodiversity can have on your day-to-day life.

Coaching tends to be a more time-limited way of working, with up to six sessions monthly to give you plenty of time to work on your goals between sessions. If you realise through the course of coaching that there are deeper-seated emotional or historical factors that are holding you back, it is possible to switch from coaching to counselling to support you in working through those issues.

I have been involved with coaching and mentoring for over thirty years and received a master’s-level certification ten years ago to support my practice.
