Life Coaching

Life coaching is a process designed to help people overcome the obstacles preventing them achieving their goals.

It can also be thought of as a tailor-made, personal development programme and as a result, clients can expect to make progress in many unexpected areas as they become more insightful, confident and resourceful.

In short, coaching can help you to:

• Become more of who you really want to be,
• Achieve the outcomes you seek in your personal and professional life, and
• Experience higher levels of energy, fulfilment and empowerment.

All our Life Coaches are qualified professionals and adhere to
the Standards of Ethical Conduct of the International Coaching Federation.

The Coaching Process

Coaching is an interactive process between the Coach and you as the Client designed to accelerate your progress to your ideal life.

It involves the Coach guiding, supporting and championing you to find your own solutions to your own problems and does not involve the coaching telling you how to run your life.

Life coaching is appropriate for dealing with issues such as:

1. Finding Your Purpose
2. Growing Through Self-Awareness
3. Eliminating Self-defeating Behaviours
4. Eliminating Limiting Beliefs
5. Achieving Balance
6. Getting More out of Life

If you are interested in exploring how a period of Life Coaching could help you, first call us on 07973 655291 to discuss your situation. This discussion will be in strict confidence and there is no obligation on you to proceed further.

If you decide to proceed, then this is what happens next...

Step 1 - Complete The Intake Exercises
First you will be asked to complete some 'Intake Exercises' to help you clarify your Thoughts, Needs, Values and Beliefs in readiness for your first, 'getting-to-know-you' session with your Coach.

You can print out the Intake Exercises by clicking on the links below.

Step 2 - Book Your Intake Session
Once you have completed your Intake Exercises, call us to arrange your first coaching session (known as the Intake Session). This usually takes place face-to-face and is an opportunity for both parties to meet each other and work out if there is a good basis for working together ongoingly as Client and Coach.

If you prefer, the Intake Session can be carried out over the phone - this is appropriate if you wish to keep your identity secret or if you live some distance from London. We also coach people who live in other countries and in these circumstances we can coach by telephone or by using Skype video conferencing.

The Intake Session takes about 90 minutes. Together with your coach you will go through your Intake Exercises and discover what they reveal about you, plus you will get a clear idea of what you can expect to get from a period of coaching. The Intake Session is massively discounted and costs just £30.

Step 3 - Decide How Many Sessions You Want
Attending an Intake Session does not obligate you to register for a period of coaching. The client/coach relationship is critical to the success of the coaching and so there is a formal procedure to create a 'Designed Alliance' i.e. a relationship tailor-made to give you exactly the type of support you need. Only then, if both you and the coach agree that there is an inspiring and comfortable fit between you, will you enter into a coaching arrangement.

If you do decide to proceed with a period of coaching you will then agree with your coach the length of period you want.

Life-coaching usually comprises of one 30-minute telephone call per week and depending on the issues you want to deal with a period of between 6 to 13 weeks is usually appropriate. This period is long enough to enable you to make substantial progress towards achieiving your goals, whilst being short enough to motivate you into taking action.

Step 4 - Start Your Coaching!
You will be billed in advance for your full period of coaching at the rate of £30 per session however, if it should become necessary you are able to cancel your coaching at any time and receive a full refund for all outstanding sessions.

Considerations
Undertaking a programme of coaching is challenging as it will ultimately call you to "unleash your full potential" from all the constraints (both external and internal) which are holding you back. Your coach may invite you to think about questions you have tried to avoid, or to take actions which you have been putting off.

In view of this, coaching is ONLY appropriate for people who are prepared to take responsibility for their life and who accept that the life that they are currently living is due to the choices that they made in the past.

As life coaches we are not qualified to deal with medical issues so if, during a period of coaching, issues surface which lie beyond our expertise we will guide clients to the appropriate medical professionals.
