My training, work experience and any achievement

My background
I am a qualified Life Coach and a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I am passionate and committed to the work I do. My work as a life coach is supported by training and academic undertakings which include a BSc in Psychology, a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and a Masters in Research Psychology. In my life coaching work I pull from a range of psychological theories including the Person Centred approach, Psychodynamic theory, Narrative therapy, Cognitive Behavioural theory and Positive Psychology.

Life coaching is only part of the approach I bring to my work. I am a personal development specialist. Over the years I have worked with a wide range of clients dealing with many different issues, including self esteem, anxiety, work stress, anger management, difficult work relationships and career advancement. The area of development for each of my clients has been very specific to their own personal and professional life.

My approach to our work
My approach is based on a foundation of a person centred approach to working. Alongside this I believe strongly that people’s lived experiences impact the difficulties and obstacles that they may have to deal with through their life. Each individual I work with will come with different life experiences. Therefore I work in a very integrative way and adapt my approach to fit with the individual needs of each of my clients. I am committed to providing a supportive and nurturing environment. This environment enables clients to be at ease and offers them the opportunity to explore more freely the areas of their personal or working lives they are looking to improve.

While working with me you will experience a genuine, accepting, open and supportive environment. We will work collaboratively to gain a better understanding of the areas you are looking to improve on. We will look at how best to move forward while addressing the areas at hand. I have a number of clients who have returned to me over a period of years to address different aspects of their life they have felt they needed to improve or change.

My working philosophy is to develop a long-term working relationship with my clients. I would describe my service as accessible, flexible and adaptable to the needs of my clients. While I may recommend a suggested number of sessions to address the areas of work. It is the client who makes the final decision on how many sessions they would like to commit to and for how long.

Why I do what I do
The personal beliefs and philosophy that underpin my work is a desire to help make a difference in peoples lives and in the world.
