How we work together

Before you choose to work with me, it's important that you read, understand and agree with these simple principles of practice:

‍

CONFIDENTIAL Safe-Space

What's said between us stays between us

It's important that you understand that anything can be said, everything is heard and nothing is judged. Everything we discuss is confidential, unless I believe that someone may be in danger or if we agree that someone else needs to be involved.

‍

COLLABORATIVE

We work together

I do not magically 'fix' you or give you the answers — all that's going to come from you! Whichever path we choose, I simply guide you through a highly personalised process, tailored to your specific needs, that requires your honesty, commitment, input and action.

‍

TAILORED

We tailor your program with a combination of therapy, coaching and mentoring

The easiest way to understand the key differences between these three is:

• ‍
• Therapy is about healing emotional and psychological wounds - we my need to remove some road blocks before you can move forwards;
• Coaching is about empowering you to find your own path - which is a lot easier if we have removed any road blocks through therapeutic intervention;
• Mentoring is about learning from someone's experience.

Empowering

You are in charge

I do not magically 'fix' you or give you the answers — all that's going to come from you! I simply guide you through a highly personalised process, tailored to your specific needs, that requires your honesty, commitment, input and action.

‍

FUTURE-FOCUSED

We are here to change your future, not your past

This is not about spending hours trying to make sense of your past (that's been and gone and exists only as a memory, and probably an inaccurate one!). The programs I run are about creating the future you want. We combine previous experiences with realistic future goals to highlight how you can overcome challenges, make better decisions and utilise your resources to create change, fast.
‍

IMMERSIVE

Go All in

The more you put in, the more you get out of this process. It feeds on your input and involvement. If you hold back we won't get to the root of what is holding you back from living the life you want to live.
‍

CONFRONTING

'Feeling' better by 'doing' better

I am not here to help you 'feel' better. I am here to help you 'do' better (and by taking action you will be able to make yourself feel better)! Sometimes our programs can bring up things that you find confronting. But this is part of the process, as only by identifying them can you truly target and overcome them.
‍

DYNAMIC

Working on what you need right now

Everyone is different, has different needs and thinks differently from one day to the next, so we take an adaptable approach with wriggle room for the unexpected! There may be tears, there is usually laughter and lots of other emotions in between.
‍

EVIDENCE-BASED

Working with what is real rather than imagined

We will establish what your true challenges are, their triggers and the impact on your life. Your processing, filtering and response patterns may be challenged.
‍

SUSTAINABLE

Creating change that lasts

We embed the courage, resources and power that enable you to continue to make choices that create long-lasting change, disrupt negative thinking and make decisions with confidence.
‍

PURPOSEFUL

Doing it all with direction, confidence and positivity

You will establish what’s important to you — by identifying your values, sense of purpose and your ‘north star’. This becomes the platform from which you can process thoughts, filter feelings, amplify your strengths, add value and respond to the world around you in a new and positive way.
