What is coaching?
I think my favourite way to introduce coaching is to remember the Grail Legend, which has it that each seeker’s path is unique: that there is no authorised way: that all ways already proven and known are wrong ways because they are not the person’s own. ​​Coaching helps you know and appreciate your own path, yourself and your own strengths and gifts which are already supporting you while you do amazing things. It can help you step out in your own way with greater self-belief and joy and move towards the life you wish to have.
​
What is my approach?
My core practice is, first, listening. Being heard and seen without judgment is powerful medicine on its own. Depending on the person being coached and what they are bringing to coaching we may also use creative practices to help see things differently; we may focus on personal strengths and/or invite in ‘secondary’ signals - the stuff we are less aware of - as sources of information: dreams and dreaming, body symptoms, internal and external disturbances, frustrations and feelings. The intention is to be more fully and confidently you, and yet still related to the world. The Holy Grail, perhaps!
​
Who works with me?
Since I completed my Coaching Diploma in 2021 I have worked with a wide variety of people, many of whom have been seeking change themselves or responding to a time of change from the outside. This includes people wishing to find and express more of their creativity and bring it to the world (whether that be art or a business) people facing redundancy or changes at work; people with relationship challenges, and, most recently, people living with neurodiversity such as as autism, whether personally or through loved ones. ​
​
Neurodiversity and Coaching
In my work for 3SC I have been specialising in working with neurodiverse clients, most often with autism and/or ADHD amongst other labels and experiences. Coaching has proved to be highly empowering for many of these people. In reality, neurodiversity coaching is no different to life coaching in that I coach the whole person and not the neurodiversity. To quote one of my clients, they deepened their understanding of themselves 'as a person who happens to have autism over any narrow definition of what autism is.'
Very often, we wait until life forces us to change and grow, when suddenly we find the old ways no are longer working for us. Yet the invitation to live more true to ourselves and more creatively is there for all of us, all the time.
"You have given me some tools to approach situations with a different horizon, to be able to move out of my lane, to be more confident, aware and more accepting of myself "
