Coaching

If you are looking for ways to increase your wellbeing, boost happiness, reduce negativity, live optimally and create new habits that nurture you and build resilience, then my scientifically-grounded coaching sessions could be the right style of coaching for you. My coaching is rooted in helping clients create better ways of living and build on their strengths. It is not rooted in traditional therapy which looks at the source of your pain and distress but in positive psychology which focuses on how to increase happiness, boost resilience and use your strengths to live a flourishing life.

The first and most important person to believe in is yourself!

If you are seeking greater life-satisfaction and balance, wanting to build resilience, curious about your strengths, needing a boost of positivity, wanting to boost your self-appreciation and confidence, searching for more from your life and in general need emotional restoration and compassionate healing then you are in the right place.

Understand why you do the things the way you do

In my one-to-one coaching and Wellbeing programmes we will explore your present life situation to ascertain areas that may or may not be working for you. My sessions involve a combination of guided discovery, discussions, exercises, meditations and weekly reading. Each session will be tailored to your individual needs and will draw on the practices of positive psychology, mindful self-compassion and Reiki to develop a more resilient and happier you. The strategies, exercises and tools used are aimed at helping you to flourish by identifying self-defeating thoughts, emotions and behaviours that prevent you from living your life optimally with purpose and meaning.

We will look at negative thinking traps which can lead to negative feelings and behaviour and explore ways to shift this. We will also use Mindful Self-Compassion to help you silence your inner critic and motivate you to create new habits from a place of compassionate awareness. Positive psychology tools and exercises will help to dismantle gratuitous negativity from your life and increase positive thoughts, behaviour and emotions. I will help you to understand the importance of developing and working with your strengths with the ultimate aim of increasing mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing in your life.
