Individual coaching & guidance

My approach to coaching

I’m not going to do your thinking for you.

In coaching, my key objective is to help you to think and feel more constructively about your current situation and your future goals so that you can learn how to act more productively. 

Usually, this involves helping you to reflect on the strengths and limitations of how you are currently approaching things and helping you to discover different approaches. 

For some clients, this could just involve providing the right kind of receptive space in which you can articulate and reflect on your own thoughts. 

For other clients, I may play a more active role in drawing your attention to the way you are processing your experiences and getting you to examine your approach. This might involve asking you probing questions or suggesting activities and experiments.

I will provide practical advice and information where appropriate, but I prefer to enable you to work out for yourself what you need to do (and understand how you did it so that you can do it again next time).
