Life Coaching

The aim in coaching is increased clarity about what we want and the direction needed to get there. This can be in terms of  ‘inner’ or ‘outer’ goals, but the fundamental point is to understand ourselves better. To understand what is in the way of our ability to access our power and creativity and move past our historic limitations towards embracing what our deeper needs and wants are. This can then lead to a clarification of and commitment towards goals that have more meaning for us. We can re-connect with our inspiration and passion for what we really value most in life.

Coaching is not as focused on the past as therapy. It is still though about understanding ourselves, increasing our level of integration and awareness. So to me, the same Gestalt principles apply to the process of coaching, as to therapy, those of here and now engagement to increase self-awareness and self-responsibility through phenomenological exploration, connecting up our heart, head and body, all in support of knowing who and what we are more fully.

Confusion about our direction is often due to the different messages we get from our head and our heart and how it is our “oughts” and “shoulds” that create these splits. Re-integration is essential if we going to find the clarity to support us in creating the life that we want. Integration with the body is an important part of this process, it enables us to ground and evaluate our experience.

Simply having time and space to talk through our concerns and confusions can be enormously helpful. “Chewing things over” can bring an understanding of the needs involved together with a new sense of perspective. This process is about helping you to discover your answers, only you can you can know yourself.
