The Power of Coaching
Once you've tried coaching, you'll find that it's unlike anything you've experienced before.
​
It's transformational - it puts you in charge of who you want to be.
Tobi Tonner
In my sessions you are able to explore your thinking and feelings in relation to an outcome you want to achieve. You will gain clarity on what's important to you and how you can put your new learning into action.
​
My role as a coach is to listen. I will provide you with the thinking space so you can discover new perspectives and grow your thinking. I will ask questions to both support your discovery and to help you find the next steps towards becoming the person you want to be. My coaching creates a brave space where you can feel save and free to explore
​I am trained to deliver the gold standard in coaching as defined by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and have an ICF Level 1 Diploma.

What about Mentoring and Therapy?
Pure coaching is very different from mentoring and therapy.
​
Mentoring and therapy provide an external diagnosis of what a person needs and then supports them with targeted interventions.
In my coaching I don't diagnose and I don't provide solutions. Instead I allow you to discover what you need and support you with putting it into action in a way to suits you.
​
Another way to think about the differences is to look at the outcomes they aim for: You might seek mentoring to learn new skills, therapy to treat mental illness and coaching to build mental fitness.
How do I deliver Coaching?
My sessions are one hour long and have three parts.
1
Focus
We explore what is most important to you and what outcome you want to reach by the end of each session.
2
Discovery
We spend the main part of the session to uncover and untangle your thinking and feelings.
3
Growth
We reflect on new insights, understand what they mean and find next steps you can put into action.
