I am also a qualified life coach.
People often ask what the difference is between counselling and coaching. In short, coaching is about enhancing wellbeing and performance — in your personal life and at work — drawing on established adult learning and psychological approaches (adapted from Grant and Palmer, 2002). That last part matters: the kind of coaching I practise is coaching psychology, grounded in the same evidence base as my therapeutic work.
Coaching can take a few different forms:
- Business and executive — leadership, innovation, performance
- Life and personal — a more general approach
- Specialist — stress, health, confidence, redundancy, parenthood and maternity
- Performance recovery — problem-solving and skill development
- Excellence — staying steady and ahead of the game
If coaching feels like it might be useful for you, get in touch by phone or email and we’ll take it from there. Coaching usually runs to between 6 and 12 sessions of 50 minutes, at £110 per session (concessions available).
