One-to-One Coaching

Are there areas of life where you would you like to unlock your own thriving? Courage to Thrive One-to-One Coaching is an opportunity for you to explore what that might look like. Space to drill down into a specific challenge you want to get to grips with or to take a broader ‘MOT’ of your life. It is an amazing investment in yourself which in itself is courageous.

My role as coach is to facilitate your development, enabling you to reach whatever goals you set for yourself. Each session is goal-oriented – you set the goal you want to work towards and I support you towards reaching that goal. Coaching is confidential, person-centred and non-directive. As a coach I do not give advice or take responsibility away from you, but through the use of powerful questions, simple exercises and deep attention I facilitate you finding your own solutions – it’s a beautiful process!

NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) is the practice of understanding how we organise our thinking, feeling, language and behaviour to produce the results we do. In coaching, NLP tools can be used to help unlock resourceful thinking and empower you to change your perception, communication and responses in a given situation.

Coaching is a wonderfully versatile discipline with the client defining the outcome depending on their goal. I have experience of working with people on:

• Making career or life decisions in line with their values and aspirations
• Proactively approaching life transitions in a way which allows them to thrive
• Building self-confidence by overcoming limiting self-beliefs, fears and negative past experiences
• Improving personal relationships and communication skills
• Exploring responsibility and learning to say “no”
• Assessing work-life balance in order to live more joyfully and sustainably.

Each session lasts around an hour and can take place over Zoom, telephone, or face-to-face in central Poole. Depending whether you are wanting to work on a short-term specific challenge or are looking for on-going effective support, I offer either blocks of 3-6 sessions (spaced weekly, fortnightly or monthly), or longer term regular accountability coaching.

I trained through Simply Changing Ltd, and have a Level 5 Diploma in Performance Coaching with NLP. For more about me and how I work take a look at the About page. Get in touch if you’d like to explore whether coaching may be for you and to find out about my fee structure.

Whatever you decide to do, I invite you to reflect on how you are investing in yourself. You are worthy and have much untapped potential.  What could a journey from surviving to thriving mean for you?  Take a look as well at what we offer through Courage to Thrive Coaching Circles and our Step out of the Traffic Workshops – other ways of investing in yourself to make the changes you seek.  If you are exploring coaching in a work context look too at our Teams and Workplaces page and our Changemakers page.
