What is coaching?
Let's start with what coaching isn't.
Coaching isn't therapy, but it can feel therapeutic.
Coaching isn’t counselling, but reflection can feel useful.
Coaching isn't mentoring: you are the expert on you.
So what is coaching?
Coaching is about you achieving the change you want.
Coaching is about becoming the you you want to be.

I am an EMCC qualified coach with a calm, positive, and supportive coaching style informed by over 30 years teaching, management, and practitioner experience in education and performing arts training.
​
My approach is based on listening in a non-judgemental and respectful way, focusing entirely on you. Whatever the aspiration or issue currently on your mind, we will talk it through together to find the change that works for you.

The coaching journey
The coaching journey is very individual, depending on your work and life context and what you want to get out of this journey. Whether it's online, by phone, or in person, we will work together to figure out the right coaching journey for you.
​
A typical coaching journey might look like this:
01
Initial chat
We discuss how coaching might work for you, and whether we are a good fit for each other
02
First full session
We discuss your situation in more detail and co-create some achievable goals and strategies
03
Next sessions
Depending on our agreed schedule, sessions take place every 2, 3 or 4 weeks. We will explore your thoughts on things such as progress made, any setbacks or changes to your context, and anything else you want to bring to the sessions.
04
Reflective/final session
When you feel you have made the progress you want, we reflect on what we’ve achieved, how the coaching has worked for you, and your next steps - whether that's further sessions, or finishing our work together for the time being.
