If you want to learn about my coaching philosophy and approach, you’re in the right place!
I use my combination of interest in people, geekiness with research, and lived experiences to help people understand themselves better. My coaching and consultancy style comes from my philosophies and values.
As people, we are complicated, messy humans trying to navigate an increasingly aware and complex world. We constantly try to make sense of the world, looking for purpose and belonging. Our world is steeped in historical harm, overwhelming responsibilities in the present, and uncertainty of the future. No wonder so many of us are exhausted!
I live by my values of curiosity, compassion, and courage and use these as a foundation of my practice. This means treating each person as a whole human, with their own stories, minds, and aspirations. The conversations we have are to understand the different aspects of you, be sensitive to the experiences that you’ve had, and provide supportive challenges to overcome where there may be stuckness or discomfort. The image below summarises how my values and philosophies are used in my practice.
What does this look like in real life?
This work sounds like it can be quite heavy. And it can be at times. Which is why I encourage you to come as you are. We may laugh. We may swear. We may cry. We may sit in silence for a little while. Our work together will always involve a space for you and everything you want to bring into it. It is a protected bubble where we can process, practice, and play with different selves, scenarios, and ideas. If this is something that sounds appealing to you, why not:
