Individual coaching provides one on one conversations in which we work in partnership to identify and develop the pathway to meet your desired goal. Essentially a creative meeting during which we actively work to explore new ways to navigate life challenges. Coaching could be defined as "unlocking a person's potential to maximise their own performance" (Whitmore, 1996).

​

Traditionally coaching is associated with sports, however, coaching has developed during the 21st Century and is now perceived as an interdisciplinary field serving a number of coaching environments: life coaching, career coaching, team coaching, executive coaching, health coaching in addition to sports coaching.

​

Coaching differs from counselling in a number of ways, the main difference being that in coaching, the focus is on using solutions to achieve a goal, whereas in counselling, there can be much time focused on understanding the past. In this way, coaching is a forward moving, action orientated activity.

​

Coaching can help in many areas of your life, some of which are:

​

improvement to workplace performance - improve personal relationships - achieve a goal for personal improvement e.g. weight loss, quit smoking, learn an instrument (not all improvements mean quitting something!) - managing multiple projects - overcoming anxiety e.g. public speaking - conflict management - achieving beyond your expectations - living your dream
