I am a Psychologist and Coach with a wealth of experience working with clients from all walks of life. I understand the psychology of coaching and am proficient in the use of a range of advanced coaching techniques and models and their application to life, health, business, and performance coaching.
All of my work is centred around helping people to change aspects of their lives that they are n
ot satisfied with. As a trained Psychologist, I can help you to make sense of the difficulties you are facing and explore your responses to such situations. I do this in a supportive way, with a little bit of challenge when appropriate. I use psychological theory in a practical, down to earth way. I firmly believe that we have the answers to our own problems within ourselves; however we can’t always see these clearly. When coaching, I work with you to facilitate the process of you finding these answers. Along the way I may also teach you some useful techniques, or invite you to use certain tools if I think they will benefit you’.
I have helped people with a number of different issues, including overcoming anxiety and panic attacks, developing self-confidence; overcoming stress, managing long term health conditions, deciding on a next career move; preparing for promotion; going back to work after a period of time off; dealing with redundancy; managing difficult relationships; preparing for exams, interviews and presentations; overcoming procrastination and time management issues.
I tailor my coaching approach to the individual needs of all of my clients. The general structure is to work with clients to:
Increase their self-awareness and clarify their goals. Identify and understand any self-limiting beliefs and behaviours. Challenge these limiting thoughts and behaviours by practicing more helpful strategies. Review progress and action plan for sustained change
