At it’s most basic, Life Coaching is a process of helping someone identify and achieve their goals and aspirations. It's a way to help them tap into their own potential and make positive changes in their lives.
Transformational Life Coaching takes it to the next level. It’s not just about setting goals and taking action steps. It’s ensuring that your goals are coming from a healthy place, that your inner self is in alignment with the outer world you are creating. It guides you to step into an evolved version of yourself and become the person you need to be, in order to achieve your dreams. It’s embodying the energy you wish to create in your future right here in the present, to powerfully transform your whole life.

Anyone can benefit from Life Coaching if they are wiling to make the commitment to themselves. It's not just for people who are struggling or in crisis, it's for anyone who wants to grow and improve in some way. Whoever you are, coaching can help you navigate the challenges and opportunities in your life.
To get the most out of coaching, you’ll need to be willing to open up, challenge your current thinking and default behaviours, and take new conscious actions to make real changes in your life. All growth happens outside of your comfort zone and I’ll be here to help you navigate any discomfort and keep going.

As your coach I’ll be your guide and thinking partner to help hold you accountable to your future self. I’ll support you to set meaningful goals, create actionable steps, and tackle any obstacles along the way. I’ll help you to identify and overcome limiting beliefs and unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour that are holding you back. And, I’ll help you stay motivated and focused on your goals when life ‘life’s’ on you.
-
We’ll start by talking about what’s present in your life right now that you’d like to change, and exploring your values and priorities. We’ll then work towards setting meaningful goals and desired outcomes for our time together and collaborate to create a plan for you to achieve them. I’ll help you identify any self-imposed blocks that may be holding you back and help you develop strategies to overcome them.
As your coach, I’ll hold you accountable for taking action towards your goals and help you to stay on track. We’ll celebrate all of your successes, gain new insights from the setbacks and focus on keeping a positive growth mindset.
All coaches work differently and it’s important to find the right person for you. You’ll want to feel able to open up to them, and willing to be challenged without feeling unsafe. Coaching works best as a collaborative partnership created between two equals, so you shouldn’t feel intimidated or bullied by your coach. Together you are creating a safe space for you to explore new ways of being and the decisions on how to move forward always come from your own inner knowing. Growth happens at the edge of your comfort zone and your coach will encourage you to feel empowered to think and behave differently so you can make meaningful and lasting changes to your life.

The difference isn’t always that obvious between Coaching and Therapy but in general, coaches are more present and future-focused, and will encourage you to look at the issues that are still present in your life now and how they are holding you back from the future you want to create. Therapists may focus more on delving deeper into your past to gain new understanding and process old traumas.
In EFT & Matrix Reimprinting we can also actively work with past memories in the present moment, to rewire negative or traumatic experiences and overwrite the unhelpful beliefs formed at that time.
Whether you’re receiving Coaching or EFT & Matrix Reimprinting, your past is always welcome in the room with me. It’s a part of your life story that brought you here and can provide important clues to what might be getting in the way for you now.
In Coaching we’ll use your goal or desired outcome as a compass to keep us heading towards what you want to create in your future. As your coach, it’s my job to keep you on track and check that we’re focused on your goal, or notice if the goal has changed and agree a new path forward.

EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique, is a holistic therapy that involves tapping on certain points on your body to release emotional and physical stress. It's often used to help people overcome anxiety, trauma, and other emotional challenges.
Matrix Reimprinting, is a technique that builds on EFT and helps people to reframe past traumas, negative experiences and beliefs that are holding them back in life. By using visualisation and other tools, Matrix helps to create new, positive patterns that can help you to move forward in life and achieve your goals.
Both EFT and Matrix are powerful tools and can be incorporated into life coaching sessions.

Lasting transformation can take time so I usually recommend a 6-month package for creating significant changes in your life. If you’re feeling curious to try coaching then a 3-month package can still be very powerful. It’s your commitment to yourself that makes all the difference.
If you’re not sure whether to choose Coaching or EFT & Matrix that’s ok, either package can be adapted to suit your needs. The important thing is to get started and trust the process to guide you.
You can email me questions about working together or go ahead and book a free call. We’ll talk through your individual needs and if I feel I can help, I’ll recommend a package to suit you.

It’s important to find the right coach for you and that’s why an initial call is so helpful. It might feel a little uncomfortable jumping onto a call at first but it’s my job to put you at ease and help you decide whether this is the right coaching relationship for you to thrive. You can always get to know me better first by following me on Instagram, sending a DM or emailing me but I will always suggest a free call before we decide to work together.
For the best results from coaching, you’ll want to work with someone you trust, who you can open up to, be honest and sometimes vulnerable with, and be willing to be challenged in order to grow. It’s so important to feel comfortable, equal, respected and safe in your relationship with your coach so you can focus your energy on your own journey.
During a Discovery Call (or as I prefer to call it a Free Coaching Call) we’ll get to know each other better and you’ll share as much or little as you feel comfortable about where you are now in life and where you want to be. We’ll talk about what you want to get from working together and find out if we are a good fit. You’ll also get a taste of life coaching with me and some actionable steps to take away from the session. If you’d like to know more about my packages at this point, we’ll talk about the options and decide on the most suitable one for you. It’s no pressure, non-salesy and never sleazy, I promise.

One coaching session probably won’t change your life forever and I want you to get results. Life coaching is a meaningful commitment you make to to yourself and you’ll need to continue showing up if you want to transform your life. I’ve designed my packages to hold and support you throughout the ups and downs of your transformation. The reliable container of a package with regular sessions and check-ins helps keep you accountable and committed to improving your own life in a meaningful way.

Sessions usually take place over Zoom video call. However we may be able to connect over the phone or a different video call platform if arranged in advance.
In-person sessions are location dependent and I like to travel and work all over the world. If you have your heart set on in-person coaching, I’d encourage you to try a call online and see what you think.
