Philosophy

My approach is holistic with the objective being that you attain balance in all aspects of your life. Our partnership is based on confidentiality, integrity, honesty and respect along with an unwavering belief that we all have within us the ability to stand up in our own lives and achieve our true potential. Positive and sustainable changes are made from within based on the individual choices that you make for yourself each day. You are the only true expert on your life!

Process

Engaging in coaching is powerful as it is a practical and forward-looking way for you to gain clarity on what you want to improve or change in your life and how to go about it. It's about managing personal challenges and life change in a constructive, dynamic way that leads to achieving your goals. Coaching provides you with a support system that empowers you to keep you positive, motivated and moving in the right direction. It will help you to recognize, and subsequently remove, real or perceived barriers to progress on your journey towards the realization of your goals and dreams. It provides you with an external perspective from an unbiased observer, like a mirror on your life, while leaving you in the driver’s seat at all times. Oh, and it's fun too!

During our sessions, you'll be considering and answering powerful questions which provoke you to sometimes gain surprising insights into your thoughts and your behaviours. You'll be challenging your beliefs and freeing yourself from your often self-imposed barriers. 
 

Coaching versus Consulting or Therapy

Coaches work with people who want a detached partner to help them enhance and evolve their own lives. Someone who will guide them to their own solutions rather than advising them on how to solve their problems. A coach focuses on supporting you as you achieve a desired outcome, while a consultant is hired to produce a specific outcome. Therapists work with clients  to work towards healing, recovery and issue resolution. They are experts in medical and behavioural sciences trained to treat diagnosable conditions.
