my approach
I am passionate about human power and helping people to achieve growth in their personal and professional life. I adopt a hands-on, collaborative style of coaching where I work together with you to create change. I facilitate a process of enquiry and discussion to help you gain awareness and clarity regarding a situation or a topic, which will then enable us to make progress in some way.​
Being coached at various challenging stages of my life and career, I understand and appreciate its immense value. Through these personal journeys, I have experienced first-hand awakenings by exploring my internal mind; awareness, presence and alignment; I have found inner balance, a deeper understanding of who I am and ultimately, solid ground and wisdom.

methodology
​
After we have identified the focus of our session(s) we start by looking at ideas, research, and theories. This will help us think together at a deeper level, to get to the root of the matter; shift a stale mindset and bring mental change.
I then implement a process of enquiry and discussion, by listening, questioning and offering summaries, observations and feedback, to help you gain increased clarity regarding a situation or a topic, which will then enable us to make progress in some way.
I will support you as an individual (or in a group set-up) to decide on ways forward (what elements and actions fit you), by facilitating decision making processes and by encouraging action taking (agreeing on the first steps to apply our new-found knowledge). Finally, we evaluate these small changes and implement more lasting plans to lay solid foundations for change.
I begin by making connection and defining the context to help you in your professional and personal journey. By understanding and relating to you, my role is to guide your journey. I draw from my psychology background to facilitate the process and at the same time to create this mutual relationship where we both grow. I use different approaches and techniques to further the dialogue so we can agree the first steps and actions.
coaching & supervision
Coaching is increasingly acknowledged as something that makes a positive contribution to business goals, life improvement and wellbeing. It engages people personally and professionally, for at the heart of coaching is an awareness of our basic interdependency as people and the need to support each other. Coaching does not assume you are broken and need to be fixed. Rather, it assumes you are well and whole, and it seeks to clarify your values and then help align your life with them.
​
I believe the relationship between the coach and the client is a dynamic one, in that we both transform the journey, but we are transformed as well, as part of the process in our awareness and understanding and in feeling empowered; we incorporate ourselves into this transformation by adapting and evolving all the time. Coaching is not a term or a model – it is a dialogue-based approach, a coming together of minds to shed light into your thoughts, beliefs and values.
​
As a supervisor, I strive to build a genuine learning partnership that meets your development needs and supports your professional coaching practice. I also encourage the growth of self-care, resilience, and presence, guiding you as we progress together on this journey.
