My Coaching Approach

My goal is to help my coachees meaningfully grow in ways and domains that matter most.

I support my coachees' frontiers for growth by using multiple methods that draw on several evidence-based disciplines. In this way, I create coaching experiences that are highly personalised, meaningful and help the presenting need.

After several hundred hours of coaching, I apply core foundations and draw on many 'schools of thought' (or methods) to find what resonates with you. Examples from more surface-level to deeper work include:

Applying relevant frameworks and tools
'On-the-field' coaching, observations and actionable, practical suggestions
Thoughtful inquiry and rational coherence seeking
Narrativisation of personally resonant metaphors;
Authentic relating and self-wisdom exploration;
Facilitating emotional and embodiment experiences (I practise IFS, Emotional Coherence Therapy and Focussing).

I have an empathetic, inquisitive and open-minded style. I help coachees outside of coaching sessions and keep in touch between sessions to make sure they have the support they need. I think deeply and model where each coachee is at throughout our coaching relationship, and attend to the most salient needs with care. To suit each relationship, I offer different interaction possibilities, and we co-create what works well and feels right - often this is a some blend of: more encouraging and empathetic; problem-solving, intellectualised and strategising; esoteric, philosophical and non-linear; more challenging, observational and being an accountability partner.

To strive for the best coaching experience, we outline these stylistic preferences and some light agreements upfront. This gives the best chance for an effective, fruitful relationship, and we revisit these in regular 'meta' sessions.

I go to these lengths in my coaching practice to create an environment for meaningful growth. Below are some example territories covered in coaching, personalised to each client:

My Coaching Principles

Professionalism & Evidence-based Interventions

My coaching practice is built on a diverse range of experiences that is underpinned by professionalism as a management consultant for six years, and grounded in personal development reading applied in my own growth journey.

The methods and tools I use to help you in your unique context have evidence-based precedence (such as emotional-coherence therapy, growth-mindsets and wellbeing habits founded in science).

Tailored Support & a Safe Space

My first priority is to make you feel safe.

I tailor my coaching to the individual needs, mental modes and preferences of every coachee to create a comfortable and open space. Somewhere you are comfortable, can speak with candour and received with empathy. Together, we co-create this supportive environment that works for you, to encourage growth and help you to realise your full potential.

My coaching philosophy is grounded in building trust and understanding. Through active listening, thoughtful questioning, gentle guidance, challenging, and reflective conversation, we will explore the areas most salient to you and develop strategies to overcome them.

Where applicable, I share my own experiences to build relatability, trust and credibility, allowing us to work together more effectively.

Committed, Clear & Practical

My commitment to you is to deeply engage in our coaching relationship.

I bring clarity through insightful questions, challenging assumptions, new approaches and an empathetic sounding board to help you uncover insights and achieve breakthroughs; enriching your experience. We take what is resonant and outline practical, actionable steps that can actually help to elevate your reality.

To help you break the status quo and ultimately become a more fulfilled and impactful version of yourself, our collaboration also needs your dedication to the coaching process to ensure that we create a customised plan that works for you:

Open communication and regular feedback are crucial to our success so that we adapt and refine our approach to do what works best for you.
