Life coaching can look a lot like counselling or therapy from the outside. It generally involves working with a coach 1:1, meeting regularly to talk and spending time exploring where you’re at in life. The difference with coaching is that instead of focusing on past experiences, we primarily seek to understand where you are right now, where you’d like to go and crucially how you can get there. Life coaching offers a safe space where you can reconnect with yourself, explore, play with ideas and identities, examine your needs and wants and lean into the possibilities of life...free from judgement and consequence.I draw on several psychological and physiological models within the layers of my coaching practice. These include:  ●      Person centred coaching,●      Psychodynamic coaching,●      Polyvagal theory.  In practical terms, that means I see you (and empower you to see yourself) as a whole, truly capable and empowered individual within the broader context of your life and experiences. Through our sessions we'll recognise the role that unconscious processes and programming might be playing in your relationship to the world, and we'll work with your body and nervous system to understand your needs and potential challenges on a deeper level. It's a truly holistic approach which is trauma informed.

Self connection, confidence, clarity, direction, wellbeing, ‘stuckness’, life transitions, people pleasing, self-care, holistic tools, coping skills, resilience, stress management, self compassion, negative self talk, identifying your needs, self trust, reducing anxiety, understanding difficult emotions, empowerment, lasting change, body-mind connection, self development, work related stress, peer relationships, motivation, hobbies, mentoring, happiness, work-life balance, energy, lifestyle among others…

Together, we'll use a unique blend of: conversation, trauma informed coaching, deep listening, mindset and emotional work, journalling, energetic and body based practices to bring you back into connection and conversation with yourself. We’ll dive deep into your self understanding, reshape your inner dialogue and loving dismantle your blocks, so that you can release the shoulds that have been running the show, reclaim the driving seat in your life, make choices aligned with your needs and desires and become the thriving person you've worked so hard to be. Sounds like a lot, right? It kind of is. This work is beautiful and powerful, but it is work. What you get from life coaching depends on where you're starting from, what your intentions are for our time together, and how you meet the unfolding experience, but...some things you could expect are:●       A renewed sense of connection to the person you are right NOW and clarity around what you actually need and want in this phase of your life.●       The ability and confidence to start meeting those needs and making things happen so you can start LIVING the life you really want to instead of just thinking about it.●       A relationship with yourself that's built on understanding, compassion and support so the voice in your head feels like a friend, instead of the enemy.●       A deeper understanding of YOUR body/mind connection and how you can use this to make more aligned decisions and take supportive, empowered action.●       A more regulated nervous system and an increased window of tolerance to stress, which means a greater sense of internal safety because you finally BELIEVE that you've got your own back.●       A tool kit of resources and strategies that fit and genuinely support you, so when you're faced with challenges you KNOW and TRUST that you can meet them.●       That feeling of a big exhale when you realise, you don't have to figure it all out on your own, you're not and never were failing, and CHANGE is possible.●       The fist pumping liberation of recognising that YOU are the highest authority in your own life and you get to do it (yes all of it) YOUR WAY!
