Coaching
Many of you know that beside from being a complementary therapist I do also work as an executive coach. I do have a passion for helping people discover their purpose and direction and my focus is supporting individuals and organizations that are undergoing personal and professional transformation and transition. Some examples may be starting up a business, retirement or redundancy. I assist people to cope with these challenging transition times, achieve their next goals and maximise their potential.
Following is a brief introduction about some of the coaching programmes I offer.
Redundancy Coaching - Opening up new horizons
Are you being made redundant or have been made redundant? How do you feel about it? Do you want to use your time to re-evaluate your options?
Redundancy can be a challenging situation to find yourself in, but with the right attitude and support, it may be just the opportunity you have been waiting for. I will support and encourage you during this time, to ensure you get what you want from your new life. Together we can turn that initial feeling of rejection into a feeling of excitement.
I will help you explore your possibilities before you get stuck into focused job search and re-writing your cv. I work with clients on the deeper issues that precede these steps.
Redundancy Coaching will benefit you by:
• Having someone qualified to 'open-up' to at this difficult time.
• Having dedicated time and space to look at your life and career options.
• Ability to accept or 'reframe' the redundancy experience.
• Learning how to see the change as an opportunity.
• Enabling you to focus positively on the next steps.
• Assisting you to establish achievable goals for your future.
• Overcoming any limiting beliefs or fears about moving on.
• Uncovering your values to gain clarity about what will give you long term
life and job satisfaction.
• Building more useful positive beliefs about yourself, your abilities,
the work place etc.
• Developing a realistic plan of action to meet your personal career goals.
• Identifying options for the future and explore new possibilities
and life choices.
• Identifying your strengths, skills and abilities.
• Increasing your confidence (if necessary).

Are you in business or looking to start up?
Running a business is a rewarding and satisfying experience. It can also sometimes be isolating and lonely, when it’s your own business it’s difficult to find someone to bounce ideas off or to share the frustrations and celebrations.
Start-up Coaching helps you address what is important to you, what needs to be done to move forward and keeps you focused and confident.
I know from personal experience what challenges we face and how much we benefit from having someone to bounce ideas with and to support and motivate us when we want to develop our business.
I enjoy working with micro and small businesses to help them grow or to tackle issues that the business owner may have. Perhaps you are starting your own business and would like someone to support you during the process?
The important thing about coaching is we work at your pace and help you achieve what you want. We can work over the phone, via the internet or face to face.
I can support you in areas such as:
• Setting better goals and accomplishing them faster.
• Becoming more motivated and stay motivated.
• Taking more and frequent action directed towards your goals.
• Finding out what stops you.
• Overcoming self sabotage and limiting beliefs.
• Self belief, self confidence and self esteem.
• Improving time management.
• Ensuring you have a work/life balance.
• Having more confidence in what you should be doing and how to do it.
• Achieving better communication.
• Doing what you love.
• Conquering your big goals - Dreams are possible.
Here is what one of my recent clients says:
"Starting a new business is very daunting and I feel like I am "winging it" a bit. It is, therefore, a real comfort to know that you're there to hold a mirror up at my face and help me through the obstacles, fears and trials of going it alone.
The beauty of the sessions is that you never tell me what to do, you seem to help me find answers for myself which, without your questions would not necessarily be as easy to find!
After just one session I learned a lot about myself and I understood one of the immediate obstacles I was facing and that I had to deal with. I subsequently did deal with it and felt empowered!!
Your presence is a comfort to me because I feel like you're there to encourage me and talk me through some issues that I face that otherwise may seem like bigger and more dramatic issues.
Talking to you about what works/ what doesn't work is fascinating and my eyes are opened to a new world of options with regards to how my business can grow.
I also appreciate your warmth and interest and I really enjoy the sessions I have with you. So thank you thank you.
Without your gentle style of coaching me forward into a successful and positive business I really think I would be a few steps behind."
Retirement Coaching - Learn how to re-fire not just retire!
What is Retirement Coaching?
Did you know that most people spend more time planning for a two- week vacation than for their retirement?
Many people plan for their financial future in retirement, but not their emotional, work, leisure or spiritual future!
What do you want for your retirement? To renew old passions, practice wellness, or explore new beginnings? Where do you want to live? How will you manage your career/life transition?
We are living longer and retiring earlier. Thanks to the Baby Boomer Generation retirement has taken on a whole new meaning. It’s a time for living an active and varied lifestyle. The traditional retirement lifestyle of rest and leisure is fading away and being replaced with the new retirement lifestyle. For many people it means a new career, starting their own business, working part-time, or volunteering.
HERE ARE SOME BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH A RETIIREMENT COACH:
• Obtaining a clear picture of your readiness for retirement.
• Understanding some of the major issues most individuals encounter
before and during retirement.
• Exploring what you really want and having a vision of your future.
• Deciding whether to work or not to work.
• Exploring what to do in your leisure time.
• Learning how to structure your retirement environment.
• Retiring with meaning, purpose and a structured plan.
What are the areas you need to focus on to make a smooth and trouble-free transition into a new fulfilling and satisfying phase of life?
To help individuals explore their pre-retirement or recent retirement, I utilize the RETIREMENT SUCCESS PROFILE (RSP). The RSP is a successfully tried and tested online tool which provides you with information shown to be crucial for you to come to a precise understanding of yourself during your retirement transition.
You can take this assessment as early as 15 years before retirement as well as post-retirement.
The assessment follows a simple five-step plan which is the basis for your personalized and tailored retirement coaching programme.
These are just some examples of what I can assist you with. When life is presenting challenges then Transition Coaching can help you define and achieve your goals. If you would like assistance in any other area of your life please feel free to discuss this with me.
