About Me

Life experience:

I was a small town girl with social phobias but I travelled the world and led groups of travellers around India and Vietnam! I do not consider my life to have been extraordinary, I was just stepping outside my comfort zone on a daily basis! My desire is to show others how everyone can reach their true potential by stepping outside their comfort zones this doesn’t necessarily need to be world travel.

Philosophies:

A Chinese proverb suggests that if you want happiness for a lifetime help someone else…I truly believe in the power of helping others. Having explored the circumference of the world and submerged myself in four different cultures I have found that those cultures which are more spiritually based, have greater meaning and happiness, even without possessions. Though for me you can’t learn or teach spirituality you need to come to it yourself, it is a way of being! Life coaching works on this same premise, it doesn’t teach a person how to be and isn’t based on advice. Life coaching helps you see things differently and brings out your potential from within you. I look forward to sharing the wisdom I have gained from seeing the world as these cultures do.

Coaching training:

For the past six years I have studied part time for a BSc Hons Psychology this coupled with my EMFEC coaching certificate stands me in good stead to assist you to reach your goals find your potential and discover the balanced you. I am dedicated to continuous training and partake in additional training courses and seminars on an ongoing basis.

My dissertation is exploring the experiences of those practising earth based spirituality.

Types of coaching I undertake:

Personal Life coaching – focusing on personal goal attainment, removing blocks, Time management, Work-play-life balance with spiritual focus.

“A collaborative solution-focused, results-orientated and systematic process in which the coach facilitates the enhancement of work performance, life experience, self-directed learning and personal growth of the coachee.” (Anthony Grant, University of Sydney, 2000)

Relationship life coaching – This does not only need to entail romantic relationships and will improve all types of relationships.

Specialist areas.

Transitional life coaching – An area which interests me greatly is helping those who are going through a transition in their life. Change of job, moving country, retirement, taking and being made redundant, left with an empty nest. For me these crossroads in life are exciting let me help you open up to a new world of possibilities.

Sabbatical Coaching - Coaching in relation to taking a Sabbatical.

Cross-cultural coaching – Coaching relating to a residential country move.

Who I work with:

I am happy to consider working with anyone looking for a life coach but consider my true potential to be in.

working with those who are intimidated by stepping outside their comfort zone.

Those who have dedicated their life to family or work but now wanting to try something new.

Executives who have dedicating their lives to a career but have found imbalance and now want to develop a better life-work-play balance.

Or perhaps with those who want to find new meaning and experience a different side of life and take time out through sabbatical coaching.

For those moving country, without the assistance of a company, I also undertake cross-cultural coaching.

What is coaching?

Coaching is a co-active partnership. The coach is none judgemental and is not a resource for advice or direction, Coaches are rather a supportive sounding board using techniques and skills to challenge, stimulate and guide in the process of decision making and goal setting. I recognise and follow the code of ethics and good practice set out by the Association for coaches.
