Life Coaching

Life Coaching is a partnership that helps to facilitate reflection and change. The life coach guides and facilitates your progress towards agreed upon goals.  These may include career, relationships, work/life balance.  Life Coaching creates the opportunity to reflect on your life, clarify your goals, and put them into action.

I once met a man who worked as a police pathologist.  His job was to perform autopsies whenever there was an unexpected death.  He was a man who knew to live life fully.  He knew the importance of not procrastinating, of living without regrets. The importance of each day was something he knew not to take for granted.

However, for most of us it takes a jolt, a shock, to pull us up out of our complacency. What if we didn't wait for the shock of a life-threatening illness, a divorce, a loss of a loved one, to make the changes to enable us to live the life that we want.

Is there a gap between what you value in life, (what you want from life) and the way you are living now?  Are you having difficulty managing your time or procrastinating? Feeling stressed by competing demands? Do you feel stuck, like you're not reaching your potential?

Life Coaching can help with all of these problems.  By working with a professional experienced with work-life balance, stress management, and time management, you are able to release blocks to your potential.

Personal Coaching Services specialises in issues may be related to work, home, and the work-life balance.  Also more personal issues such as clarifying what you want from life, weight loss, stopping smoking, - in fact any behaviour that you want to change.

A life coach can help you make priorities, set goals, and overcome obstacles.  The biggest advantage of employing a life coach is having someone experienced to discuss your issues with.  I have had a rigorous training as a counsellor and psychotherapist first, which is a good grounding in helping people identify their problems and work to overcoming them.

If your issues are more long-standing and relate to emotional difficulties such as depression, anxiety, or relationship issues, we can think together about whether counselling or psychotherapy would be a more useful option, and I can facilitate this.  See  www.counsellingpsychotherapy.co.uk
