Life transformation coaching: what it offers you

Life Transformation Coaching is a goal-focused, results-oriented process which is powerfully designed so that you can see a difference in your life. It offers a structured method whereby you can articulate what you need and what you want to achieve, what's stopping you making progress, and how you can move forward. It gives a supportive but firm context in which you can develop your plans and your actions, implement them and get to where you really want to get to. Because it is always tailored to you, and because it is based on the concept of personal responsibility, it puts you firmly in the driving seat of your life.

What you will get is a partnership which

• Creates a clear vision and great, motivating goals and powerful ways of getting there
• Helps you get your thoughts clear
• Develops plans that fit with the vision
• Gets you into action to help you get there
• Challenges you where you need to be challenged
• Gives you a stimulating sounding board
• Helps you explore what gets in the way so that you can let it go
• Achieves closure around unfinished business
• Gives you powerful tools to make changes
• Builds your emotional and spiritual intelligence
• Creates self-confidence and self-belief

This is how it works

It’s a shared activity, where you take responsibility and are helped to make powerful choices. I will

• Give a free initial conversation so that you can try out it out a little and see if you like it
• Help you decide on what you want to get out of your coaching, your goals
• Agree with you a plan, a coaching program
• Manage the sessions to keep on track
• Be right there with you when you need that, respect your space and decisions when you need that too, and be mindful always of your goals
• Help you try out or experiment with ideas in practice, so that it stays practical and grounded in the real world
• Challenge you when you need it and are ready for it
• Be 100% committed to your growth and fulfilment
• Affirm your essential worth and value as a human being, irrespective of how your life is showing up at present or has done
• Work by phone – or face to face if preferred. Phone support means you can be anywhere in the world, so long as you can speak in English!
• Give e-mail support between sessions if needed
• Maintain confidentiality

As I can also use a psychological dimension in our coaching, we can tap into resources that help you overcome deeper obstacles to progress. However, I don’t do psychotherapy or counselling and if you need that, I would refer you on to other, more appropriate support.

Getting started

When you feel ready to book me, we'll need to discuss what you want and how we'll work together:

• I usually give an initial free session so that you can tell me what you want to achieve and what you want to work on
• We agree a time and length of sessions (usually twice monthly, for a hour each), which might all be by phone (preferably Skype) – or sometimes face to face if you're in the UK and can come to me
• We agree a fee, always payable in advance, monthly by Paypal
• What happens if either of us can’t have a session sometimes and how that is to be managed
