F.A.Q.
Life coaching is the process of transforming one’s life from insight into action.
First we look at where you are, and determine where you want to get to. Once we know the destination, then we look at what is stopping you getting there, and how we can move you forward.
I use a variety of tools and techniques including but not limited to Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), Cognitive Behaviourial Therapy (CBT) and the TGROW coaching model. I also draw from my rich life experience from my days as an entrepreneur, addiction recovery, as well as the extensive coaching and personal development work I’ve done myself.
Therapy is more focused on mental health, and transforming dysfunctional behaviours into functional ones. It tends to involve a lot of focus on the past.
Life Coaching, however, is more focused on moving forward and creating your future. Imagine you are in a car at point A. The process of my coaching is about determining where point B is for you, helping you determine the best route to get there, and seeing if there are any blockages in the engine of the car (such as limiting beliefs).
There may be some overlap with certain therapy and life coaching styles such as exploring your psyche. My life coaching tends to only revisit the past in an almost surgical way of rewriting old core beliefs, whereas therapy tends to focus exclusively on the past.
It should be stressed that life coaching is not a replacement for professional psychological help. If you believe you are suffering from mental health issues, you should first speak to your doctor as a first port of call.
Yes. I have a BSc (Hons) and CTAA Accredited Diplomas in Life Coaching as well as NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming).
