For Individuals

EXECUTIVE COACHING

How can executive coaching with me help you?

I offer clients a solutions focused approach to executive coaching.  I support clients to gain a deep understanding of what is happening for them, what is getting in their way and how this impacts behaviour and relationships with those around them, both at home and work.  I believe executive coaching can support an individual to unlock potential and deliver results.  For example developing:

  • Greater self awareness, why are you driven to work too many hours and take too much on
  • Greater motivation, what holds you back from stepping up or speaking out
  • Greater resilience, why do you always react that way to that person or situation
  • Greater direction, what stops you taking calculated risks
  • Greater morale, where does your imposter syndrome come from

 Unique benefits of executive coaching:

Holistic Approach: Executive coaching takes a holistic approach, addressing both your emotional well-being and your goals. It recognises the interconnectedness of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

Self-Discovery: Through executive coaching, you can explore your inner world, gaining deeper insights into your values, beliefs, and motivations. This self-discovery process can lead to a better understanding of yourself and your life choices.

Emotional Regulation: Executive coaching equips you with tools to regulate your emotions effectively. By developing emotional intelligence, you can navigate challenges more skillfully and make informed decisions.

Goal Setting and Achievement: Executive coaching helps you set clear and achievable goals. I collaborate with you to develop action plans and provide support as you work toward your objectives.

Identifying and Overcoming Barriers: Executive coaching assists you in identifying and overcoming psychological barriers that may be hindering your progress. This could include self-limiting beliefs, fears, or past traumas that may be impacting your present life.

Enhanced Self-Esteem and Confidence: Through a combination of therapeutic exploration and coaching interventions, you can work on building a positive self-image and boosting your self-esteem and confidence.

Effective Decision-Making: Executive coaching helps you improve your decision-making skills. By examining your values and priorities, you can make choices that align with your authentic self and contribute to your overall well-being.

Stress Management: Learning stress management techniques is a key component of executive coaching. This can be particularly beneficial in high-pressure environments, helping you cope with stress and prevent burnout.

Improved Relationships: Executive coaching can enhance your interpersonal skills and communication, leading to improved relationships both personally and professionally. You can learn to navigate conflicts, set boundaries, and foster healthier connections.

Accountability and Motivation: Executive coaching includes an accountability framework. Regular sessions provide structure and motivation, helping you stay focused on your goals and track your progress.

Life Transitions: If you are navigating significant life transitions, such as career changes, relationship shifts, or personal transformations, executive coaching provides support and guidance during these periods of change.

Increased Resilience: Executive coaching helps you build resilience, allowing you to bounce back from setbacks and face challenges with a more positive and adaptive mindset.

THERAPY

I believe every person is unique, and an expert on their own life and experiences.  I practice person centred therapy which is a humanistic approach to therapy developed by the psychologist Carl Rogers.

My approach is grounded in the belief that individuals have the capacity for personal growth and self awareness and, given the right conditions, can navigate their own path toward psychological wellbeing.

As your therapist I aim to create those conditions by:

  • Creating a warm and accepting atmosphere where you feel safe to express yourself without fear of judgment.
  • Focus on Your Agenda: the therapy sessions are centred around your concerns and issues. I am there to support you in exploring the aspects of your life that you find most important.
  • Non-Directive Approach: I take a non-directive stance, meaning that rather than providing solutions or advice, I instead facilitate your self-exploration, helping you discover your own insights and solutions.
  • Active Listening: I engage in active listening, paying close attention to what you are saying and providing reflections that convey understanding. This can make you feel truly heard and validated.
  • Empathy and Understanding: I will work to see the world from your perspective, which can create a strong therapeutic alliance.
  • Encouragement of Self-Reflection: I may ask open-ended questions, prompting you to explore your feelings, thoughts, and experiences in depth.
  • No Judgment or Diagnosis: You won’t be labeled or judged in our work together. I respect your unique experiences and I don’t use diagnostic categories. The focus is on your individual journey and personal growth.
  • Collaborative Relationship: I work with you, rather than telling you what to do. Together, you and I navigate your therapeutic journey.

  • Flexibility and Respect for Pace: I respect your timing and will not push you to explore topics before you feel ready.
  • Cultural Sensitivity: Being mindful of my cultural heritage, I work hard to practise in a manner that is culturally sensitive and aware of the diverse backgrounds and experiences of my clients. I strive to create an inclusive and respectful therapeutic environment.
