What is coaching and how does it work?
Coaching is an interactive process where the coach guides and facilitates the client’s progress towards defined goals. These may concern relationships, career, self-confidence, financial matters, or – and this is common – an uneasy feeling that 'life has drifted off course' or “there must be something better than this”.
A coach is a listener who is totally non-critical and non-judgmental. As each goal or desired outcome is defined, I will ask challenging and insightful questions which enable you to create specific actions that will move you ever closer to the results that you seek. Whilst these actions are important, it is the outcome from those actions that achieve success.

Each telephone based session closes with agreement on the actions to be taken before the next call. The subsequent session will review those actions, their results and how you feel about them. It is this immediacy and need to report back which make life coaching so effective.
I have clients based in the UK as well as internationally. All phone calls are made to a local rate number so it doesn’t matter if you are in London , Manchester , The Midlands or anywhere else in the UK you will only be charged the cost of a local call.
Coaching is not about the past. It does not dwell on what has happened or why it has happened. It is not the medium through which serious abuse or addictions can be treated. Coaching is not therapy.
Coaching is not designed to support individuals in times of deep crisis or serious emotional trauma. It is not designed to help individuals overcome feelings of intense grief, deep depression or other psychological conditions. As a coach, if I become aware that a client has a serious problem relating to something that happened to them in the past, or something that is unresolved and still troubling them, it is my duty to recommend that the client seek professional help. Coaching is not counselling.
Coaching does not teach, show or demonstrate how to approach new situations, nor does it give people the answers or solutions to their problems. Coaching is about helping you to explore your own solutions; the agenda belongs to you
