What is coaching?

Coaching is a one to one service that helps people explore their present reality and then design and reach the future they want. Unlike counselling, it is very much future focussed and goal orientated. Unlike mentoring, in coaching the goal is to help you find your own solutions rather than sharing our own knowledge or experience as coach. This makes coaching a truly sustainable investment, as it teaches you more about your own values and beliefs and how to think differently so that you can make difficult decisions more easily in the future. Coaching will inspire, motivate and empower you so that you can be your best self.

Why would I need coaching?

We all have times in our lives where things feel out of our own control or that we are just going along with things that happen to us rather than making things happen the ways we want them to. Family and work responsibilities, money worries, or simply low confidence, can get in the way of following our dreams. Coaching can help you take charge of your life, finding more purpose, direction and fulfilment so that you can achieve your dreams and have a happier, more balanced life.

How does it work?

Through coaching, we will gain a thorough understanding of what your life is like now and what your ideal life would be like. Then we’ll work out what’s stopping you from having that life right now and work out the steps you need to take to reach it. We’ll be working on self-confidence, personal values, self-limiting beliefs, time management, scheduling, setting boundaries and more. I’ll also show you tools and models that you can use in the future so that you are empowered to keep striving for bigger and braver goals.

What actually happens?

A typical coaching programme would involve meeting in person (in South Devon) or virtually six times for an hour or hour and a half each time. Generally, this would be monthly, but could be weekly or fortnightly if you are working to a specific time frame with your goal – it’s very much tailored to your own needs and desires. Similarly, some people prefer to have ad hoc one-off sessions as and when they have challenges to face and would like to talk them through.

What can I expect from coaching?

You can expect to come away from each session feeling inspired and motivated, able to tackle any challenge head-on. You can expect to come away from a coaching programme with more clarity about your life and what you want from it and having the confidence to achieve those things. You may be working towards a specific goal such as getting a promotion, starting a business, running a marathon, writing a book, or anything else and we would work together to help you reach those goals.

How much does it cost?

Through my signature 90-day Hop Skip Jump programme, you will design and create the life you love, so that you can hop, skip and jump into every day with a smile! This programme costs £1375 when paid upfront, or £475 per month.

My 6-month Yellow Brick Road coaching programme will help you maintain a healthy balance of work, rest and play and costs £999 upfront or £175 per month.

Who is coaching for?

Absolutely anyone! Everyone could benefit from reflecting on their lives and bringing more purpose and direction to their futures. As your coach, I will be asking you open questions to help you see your situation from different perspectives and to explore different solutions and futures. The cornerstone of coaching is that the person with the problem is the person who holds the best solution – my job is to help you find it and make it happen, giving you the skills to find your own solutions without me in the future.

What sort of people do you help?

I love working with people who have been through a change they didn’t ask for (break up, bereavement, redundancy etc), helping them to reimagine their future whilst grieving their past. I love helping Mums rediscover who they are after their identity has been taken over by motherhood. As a home educator, I love helping parents through making what can be an incredibly difficult decision with huge impacts on their families. I love helping people find a better work-life balance and introducing more fun and playfulness into people’s lives. With my experience in welfare to work and the healthcare sector, I love helping people improve their general wellbeing, no matter who they are or what’s going on in their lives.
