What is coaching?

There are a wide variety of coaching styles and this answer to this will vary depending on which coach you ask.

As a transformational coach, I provide a safe, energising and playful space for you to think deeply and make meaningful and lasting changes.

My approach aligns closely with the definition of coaching from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) :

“Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”

I believe we all have the resources to identify our challenges and to make subsequent changes, and coaching will help you with this.

I’ll listen carefully, ask you questions, offer up reflection and exercises to support you to build awareness, transform your thinking and stretch yourself.

I help my clients think for themselves rather than do the thinking for them. I won’t offer you answers or solutions, as I’m not the expert on you, you are. The ideas you will come up with will always be more authentic and right for you and therefore you are more likely to be committed to taking action to go and GET IT.

Is coaching the same as therapy?

Coaching is a talking and thinking space so can sometime be confused with therapy. It isn’t the same as it is generally forward-looking, with occasional glances to past events (if needed), only to help unlock and mobilise thought processes, rather than spending time in the past with a focus on healing. I won’t push you to regularly explore past events in detail.

To get started, please book a free discovery call where we can talk about the GET IT approach and coaching and agree how we want to take it forward.
