My Coaching

Enlightenment is when the wave realises that it is the ocean.” — Thich Nhat Hanh 

I gained my  Co-Active Life Coach and Positive Intelligence Coach certification whilst in journalism (The Daily Mail, Evening Standard, Psychologies, Tatler). I was seeking deeper insights into ways I could more expansively connect to myself and others to feel more purposeful, powerful and fulfilled. The profound revelations I gained during my coach training connected me with my ultimate purpose; to help lift people up and bring them together. My mission to act as a catalyst for healing and unity whilst simultaneously making my own lifelong commitment to continuous growth and transcendence (the pinnacle of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs) became abundantly clear.

My coaching incorporates science and spirituality to imbibe a sense of ultimate significance, connection and purpose to life. I give careful, sensitive attention to the whole self not just “the problem”, providing a sacred space for processing pain and transforming it into individual super powers, purpose, strength, direction and self leadership. This whole, transformative, embodied approach is what I have personally found most healing and enlightening during my own journey and provides a robust, tangible framework to progressively work with every day. One of my own super powers is being deeply sensitive to individual needs whilst knowing when to assertively challenge and take people further.

Science

The Positive Intelligence method is a scientific model that reveals the core factors of performance and wellbeing based on the latest research in neuroscience, cognitive behavioural science, positive psychology and performance science, to dramatically simplify and sharpen personal and professional development. In short, this method identifies our self-sabotaging behaviours, their origins and science-based strategies to overcome them. Combined with coaching techniques my clients are mobilised to make important improvements in every aspect of their lives.

Spirituality

According to the International Consensus Conference on Spiritual Care in Health Care, spirituality is “the way individuals seek ultimate meaning, purpose, connection, value, or transcendence.” I advocate and offer opportunities to spend time in nature, group sessions, meditation, gratitude and breathwork. Research has shown that those who have a spiritual practise are happier and healthier.

My coaching is about bringing each individual back home to their true, authentic nature by identifying unique strengths, purpose and overcoming the limiting beliefs that have been blocking potential since childhood. Throughout the coaching process I hold my clients accountable to implementing progressive, goal aligned change. I provide a set of tools that clients can use daily and support the continuous excavation of each individual’s fullest potential.

Today, our culture is experiencing a loneliness epidemic and extreme subsequent mental and physical health malaises. Former US Surgeon Dr Vivek Murphy describes loneliness as being more detrimental to our health than 15 cigarettes per day.  We are more in need of connection, community and whole, embodied living than ever before in human history. The decision to invest in our own growth, embodied awareness, connections and potential is the decision to “wave by wave” create an ocean of collective change.

Areas of professional and personal development that are addressed in coaching:

Self awareness, identity, embodied living, strengths, areas for personal growth, purpose, goals, fulfilment, connection, communication, confidence, empowered self-leadership.

I work with clients on a one-to-one and group basis in-person or via zoom.
