Life & Personal Development Coaching

What is Life Coaching?
Life Coaching is a personal, dynamic and empathic partnership that focuses on knowing, doing and being. Helping you to create the renewed you that you want to be now and in the years to come.
I will as your life coach accompany your move towards developing important areas and skills in your life to enhance and support your success.

Inertia Is the tendency of an object to resist changes in it's state of motion.
If you want to embrace change, but don't know How,When,Why, then contact me and we can work on the issues together.

Are you and Eagle or a Chicken?

I came across this short story by Anthony de Mello, an author whom I would recommend, especially his book ‘Awareness’

A man found an eagle's egg and put it in a nest of a barnyard hen. The eaglet hatched with the brood of chicks and grew up with them. All his life the eagle did what the barnyard chicks did, thinking he was a barnyard chicken. He scratched the earth for worms and insects. He clucked and cackled. And he would thrash his wings and fly a few feet into the air.
Years passed and the eagle grew very old. One day he saw a magnificent bird above him in the cloudless sky. It glided in graceful majesty among the powerful wind currents, with scarcely a beat on his strong golden wings.
The old eagle looked up in awe. Who's that? he asked. That's the eagle, the king of the birds, said his neighbour. He belongs to the sky. We belong to the earth - we're chickens.
So the eagle lived and died a chicken, for that's what he thought he was.

Are you an Eagle? You might not know.

What can a Life Coach do for you?
I will work with you to translate your concerns into positive change and plan with you a pathway for dealing with them. Crystallising and challenging ideas into clearly defined and prioritised goals.

Provide a structure of support; being able to talk to someone committed to your success can be the catalyst for unlocking your potential, staying on track to your goals and to producing fulfilling results in your personal or professional life.

Coaching can help to clarify the issues, presenting an unbiased view to gain the perspective you need. When you are unsure how to proceed or feel stuck in a rut a coach helps you overcome the hurdles along the way.


With active participation and commitment to work on agreed strategies, your personal or professional life can take quantum leaps forward:

Personal life feels richer and more satisfying

Enhanced mental resilience, confidence and clarity for the future

Reduced stress, worry, tension, doubts and fears

Develop a work / life balance that suits you

Greater self confidence, self respect and self esteem

An understanding that the brain is a natural solution finder

Enhanced decision making and problem solving skills

Greater confidence when dealing with people

Some clients particularly Life Coaching clients may take advantage of email and telephone sessions. In our digital world distances today are no object to therapy, my email / telephone clients maybe at university or in challenging careers or working abroad.

I regularly attend supervision and personal counselling and abide by the code of ethics of and am a member of Counselling Society I maintain a professional liability insurance.


Individuals attend counselling or life coaching for many reasons and the counsellor or life coach relationship with the client is in my opinion a special one. Trust in particular is important, trusting yourself to be yourself with your therapist and trusting your therapist with the issues you bring to sessions.

It is my aim to provide a safe and secure environment in which the client feels able to explore issues that are causing distress, turmoil or confusion. Whilst also encouraging the client to accept the challenge of their world and their personal beliefs.

Within the confidential and empathic relationship, you can explore ways forward, enhancing self acceptance and self awareness, working towards discovering an understanding of unanswered questions.

Putting yourself in the driving seat.
Sometimes we resist change because it is easier to stay the way we are, other times we think that life will be better if only someone else would change.
If we feel forced to change we resist, when you choose to make changes you are taking voluntary change steps forward, a Life coach and a counsellor can help you to move beyond the mental barrier.

Are you ready to put yourself in the driving seat?
I am ready to work with you


Coaching is an investment in you and in your future.
Whether personal development work or specific coaching you will be engaging in relationship that will entail you investing your time and effort.
Consider how you invest your time at the moment?
How much effort do you invest in creating the life you desire?
Are you ready to be supported in developing your life path forward?
