A lot of people come to coaching thinking they are going to be told what to do. That I will have some kind of answer or road map for their life. But that is actually the opposite of what coaching is.
Life coaching is not about advice. It is not about me telling you what path to take, what decision to make or what your life should look like. You are the expert in your own life. You always have been. What coaching does is help you access what is already there.
So what does a life coach actually do?
My job is to ask the right questions, hold a safe space, and help you get out of your own way. So often we know, somewhere deep down, what we need. But the noise of everyday life, other people's opinions, old beliefs we picked up along the way all of it can drown that knowing out. Coaching helps you get quiet enough to hear yourself again.
What kind of things do people bring to coaching?
People come to coaching for all sorts of reasons. Feeling stuck. A big life decision. A lack of direction or purpose. Wanting more but not knowing what that looks like. Low confidence or self-belief. A sense that something needs to change but not knowing where to start. There is no issue too big or too small. If it matters to you, it matters.
What does a session look like?
We talk. I listen really listen. I might reflect something back to you, ask a question that opens something up, or simply sit with you in the discomfort of not knowing. There is no agenda other than you. Sessions are online so you can show up from wherever you are, in whatever way feels comfortable.
Is coaching for me?
If you have ever felt like you are living a life that does not quite fit, or like you are capable of more but something keeps getting in the way, coaching might be exactly what you need. Not because I have the answers. But because I can help you find your own.
