We all go through those times when it just seems difficult to make things work the way we want them to. Sometimes we know what we want or need to do, but just can’t get motivated.

How Do I know If Therapy & Coaching is Right For Me?
It’s normal to have questions about whether this will work for you. Here are some of the most Frequently Asked Questions.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If you approach it with an open mind and heart you will get results. Occassionally I am unable to help someone generate significant breakthroughs in their life and if this happens rest assured I will stop the therapy and suggest other people who may be able to help you. Ultimately it’s in your own hands. The tools and techniques have worked for thousands of people and there is no reason for them not to work for you!
Is there any type of problem this is not suitable for?
This type of work is not suitable for people who suffer from severe mental illnesses that require ongoing medication such as psychosis, bi-polar and severe personality disorders. It is likely that if you have these type of illnesses that you are already receiving treatment from medical professionals. Of course, if a medical professional refers you to me then I am happy to work with you.
How long will it take?
How long it takes is totally dependent on your own process. Some people are able to move quickly and others are more comfortable taking things slowly. You will normally notice things starting to change after two or three sessions. The changes may not be dramatic, but over time you will notice an appreciable difference. If you remain ‘stuck’ after a few weeks of us working together, we will discuss this and explore what we need to do next. This may include me refering you to someone else.
Is what we talk about confidential?
Absolutely. My Code of Practice and Ethics requires that everything we say and do together is completely confidential. As we are working online together, it is important that you make sure you are in a safe place, out of sight of prying ears and eyes when you are talking to me. If, for some reason, you are unable to concentrate on our session because you can’t find a private space, we can reschedule. However, you will be liable for the cost of the session as it is your responsbility to make sure you are in an appropriate environment.
What happens if nothing changes in my life?
This is a common worry. It can seem almost impossible that a difficult situation or relationship can change simply by talking about it. However, part of what I do is to monitor your progress, and if you seem stuck we will work through that. One of the reasons people get stuck is that they are unwilling to change their minds about themselves and others. Fundamental to successful therapy and coaching is an open mind and heart. It may take a little work to get to that, but it’s my job to support you with it. Sometimes the most successful outcomes happen for people who were initially very stuck!
My Approach
We will work together to achieve the results you want in your life. For the duration of our work together I am an active participant in your transformation. This means I hold myself responsible for delivering the best quality support and advice that I know how to give. I will actively seek to develop an authentic relationship with you and I’ll tell you what I think!
In some therapeutic approaches, the therapy journey can be long and slow and is often based on the idea that somehow the therapist ‘knows more’ than the client. I believe this approach is outdated and based on the old medical model which assumes that there is something wrong with the client that needs fixing. I believe that everyone is fundamentally whole and complete. However, the strength of therapy is that is does seek to empower feelings and it recognises that sometimes the source of our issues lies in unresolved childhood traumas.
Traditional coaching can be goal and result oriented. It is not usually concerned with feelings, and ascribes more to the ‘just do it’ philosophy. The strength of coaching is that it’s action oriented. It recognises that things only change when you take action. Therapy can encourage clients to take action, but only when they ‘feel’ ready. Coaching recognises that sometimes we need to do things when we don’t ‘feel’ like it. Transformational coaching is effective because it causes breakthroughs where actions, that once seemed impossible, seem easy and inevitable. The actions occur naturally without the need for you to ‘force’ yourself.
My new model combines the strengths of both the therapeutic and transformational coaching models. Together there is the opportunity to heal deep hurts in a way that is client-led, whilst ensuring that they don’t wallow in the past and reinforce the neural pathways caused by the initial trauma or upset. Dancing between the best of both models, clients find their true authentic selves, which includes the not so pretty parts, but fundamentally realise there is nothing wrong with them and never has been. This empowering context enables clients to take responsibility and create a life they love.
