Let's explore life coaching
Life coaching can look a lot like counselling or therapy from the outside. It generally involves working with a coach 1:1 or in a small group, 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, an opportunity for you to explore, play with ideas and identities, examine you needs and wants and lean into the possibilities of life...free from judgement and consequence.
Working with a life coach offers you dedicated time, space and support to help you move forward in life, whatever that means for you...
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. Together, 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.
So if you're looking to:
-
Reconnect with yourself and who you are now,
-
Gain clarity around what you need and want in life,
-
Identify how you might meet your needs practically day to day,
-
Begin releasing negative self talk and cultivate a more compassionate, supportive inner dialogue,
-
Build self trust and confidence,
-
Redefine self-care so that it feels accessible and genuinely nourishing,
-
Create a toolbox of resources that you can rely on to truly support you through the ups and downs of daily life.
Then I am here for you. We'll use a combination of conversation, journalling, energetic and body based practices to support gentle connection, self enquiry, compassion and empowerment, so that you can stop living the life you think you 'should' and start living the life YOU CHOOSE.
If you are ready...to meet and explore the version of you that you are right NOW, and create a relationship with yourself based on care, compassion and genuine support, so that you can embrace the messy, imperfection of building a life you actually love to live, with tools that really help, then…let’s get back to you lovely, it’s time to bring more YOU to life!
Choosing and working with a life coach is a uniquely personal experience, and everyone has different needs and goals which they bring to the table. I've designed my coaching containers to be completely flexible for this reason.
So, whether you'd like ad hoc sessions here and there to dig into particular issues, want to pay as you go, or would prefer some ongoing support, we can create the coaching space that feels right for you, whatever phase of your journey you're in.
Ad hoc sessions are available for either:
60 minutes (£60) or 90 minutes (£80).
Alternatively, if you are looking for some ongoing support:
We'll start with:
-
A 90 minute initial deep dive consultation £80
-
Coaching sessions are £60 an hour after that (pay as you go)
-
Or you can block book 6 sessions to be taken over 3 months £360 or £120 per month.
You can work with me from anywhere in the world via Google Meet, or access support in Cheltenham via The Isbourne Centre or Organic Family Chiropractic's beautiful Promenade based clinic.
Please note: I currently have availability for online coaching sessions on Wednesday afternoons. I also have availability for in person coaching on Thursdays.
Pay what you can
It’s really important to me that my offerings are inclusive and accessible to those who really need and can benefit from them. In alignment with this, each quarter I offer at least one ‘pay what you can space’.
These spaces are open to anyone that’s ready and committed to doing the work on and for themselves. There is no ‘entry’ criteria or bench mark for financial affordability/need and I will never ask you to prove your eligibility. I trust and want to be there for you, so let’s do it our way!!
If I receive more applications than I have space for a name will be picked out of a hat, and if I can’t help on this occasion I’ll invite you to please apply again, because if I can help I will!
If you feel that working with me is the right next step on your journey, but you’re not sure how to make it happen, please, please do apply for a ‘pay what you can’ place below. It’s a quick form that just helps me understand a little more about you and where you’re at. I can’t wait to ‘meet ‘ you!!
Please note: This offering includes a 90 minute initial consultation plus 6 1 hour1:1 coaching sessions facilitated via Zoom.
