Naturally Thriving

Coaching is a fantastic tool which enables clients to gain pivotal insights into their own thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviours and to leverage their heightened self-knowledge and awareness in generating powerful, lasting change.  The role of the coach is to facilitate and guide this process, although not to direct it.  Every individual is unique, complex and by far the most authoritative expert on the subject matter of their own life.  Clients remain fully in the driving seat of every coaching interaction, with the coach providing merely a light-touch navigational aid to assist the client’s deeper exploration of their thinking, behavioural and motivational landscape so as to expand their own self-awareness, options for change and capacity for enlightened decision-making.

My role is to partner with clients to help them measurably improve multiple aspects of their own lives on a personal, inter-personal and professional level.  This is achieved not by directing, advising or seeking in any way to control or influence the client’s own agenda, but rather by holding the space required for their own self-reflection.  Each client works their own magic.  They determine the pace and direction of travel, the content of each session and ultimately the generation of their own positive change.  Approaching the coaching process with curiosity, an openness to explore and a resolution to grow, every client is empowered to uncover and reveal their own best solutions with a clarity and power much greater than anything achievable through solitary introspection alone.

The generation of real insight requires challenge.  Clients should approach each session with a willingness and openness to challenge their own thoughts, feelings and beliefs, about themselves, their situation and their options for change.  As coach, I will facilitate this process.  The coaching space provides an environment of safety within which sensitive, compassionate but nevertheless probing challenge will be provided.  At times, this may feel somewhat uncomfortable.  The client remains fully in control of the proceedings however, with absolute freedom to determine whether, when and how they respond to any given question.  Challenging moments often provide inflexion points around which meaningful options for change reveal themselves.  They are, accordingly, to be welcomed and embraced, but the client needs to be ready.  I will hold the space with support and compassion while the client finds all the resources they need to move forward with confidence, trust and assurance.

Every human life is unique, and utterly amazing in its depth and complexity.  We all have the capacity to grow, to achieve, and to be so much more.  Yet many of the obstacles we face are of our own making.  Coaching provides a powerful and highly effective tool for unlocking human potential across all realms of our lives – whether personal, professional or even in the quality of our most important relationships.  Allow me to partner with you on this stage of your own unique, personal journey towards becoming the person you really want to be.
