A Life Coach gives people confidence and the ability to move forward in a positive manner in the areas of their life where they crave change.

Life Coaching is about breaking down the barriers, which prevent this change from happening and creating the ideal environment for positive action to take place. It is a totally holistic approach which looks at the present and sets goals for a totally successful future.

Life Coaching begins with an awareness that every human is born with the ability to be, do or have, whatever they want in life. By the time we become adults, many of us have lost this ability. But eventually, we experience the feeling that our lives are drifting off course and that there must be something better than this.

Coaching can take place face to face or over the telephone or video calls. It can be used with private individuals or within a business environment. Life Coaches can specialise in particular areas or offer a general service. In essence, Life Coaching is a highly practical and portable skill which can be tailored to suit you and your clients.

Life coaching is future-focused. Therapy and counselling generally deal with a single or specific problem by looking to the past. Life coaching takes a more holistic approach. It deals with a whole life situation starting from the present. The coach helps each client to identify what they want in life and suggests strategies and tactics that will take the client from ‘where they are now’ to ‘where they want to be’. This process assists the client’s personal growth. They are no longer alone but have an ally who will work with them to establish better goals, sustain momentum, overcome setbacks and to steer towards success.

Life coaching originated in the USA over a decade ago. It has recently gained public recognition in Australia and is enjoying phenomenal growth as more and more people discover the advantages for themselves.

Clients gain massive benefits in all areas of their life and relationships. The procedure is non-stressful with typical consultations by telephone at pre-arranged weekly intervals.

My Commitment to You

Life coaching is a special relationship between a professionally trained coach and a client. Coaches help people from all walks of life and each relationship is unique. In every case, the outcome is that each client is more focused on their objectives and achieves these faster than if they worked alone. As your coach, I will assist you to gain a fulfilling, successful and stress-free life.

A coach is non-critical and non-judgmental and guides the client to the recognition of their own vast personal potential in a way that is far greater than the support of family or friends, whose views may be clouded by their own issues and problems. Coaches are totally committed to each client but maintain impartiality which allows them to clearly see the way forward and to encourage and monitor progress by stages.

Anyone who is looking to improve any area of their life. 

“Everyone needs a coach. We all need people that give us feedback. That’s how we improve” – Bill Gates

It could be that there is something in your life you desperately want but you are frozen by the enormity and implications of making such a monumental change. Working with a coach can help break it down into manageable steps and give you encouragement and accountability to get it done. 

A great coach can work with you to stay on track and overcome actions that sabotage your desires, plans, and dreams. They can help you dig out those limiting beliefs that seem to block you. A good coach will empower you and support you through the fear, resistance, and panic that can arise when you are creating something exciting and new, especially when it comes to your primary relationships.

“Coaching helps you stop the crazy mind chatter in your head that tells you all the time that you’re not good enough” – Oprah Winfrey

Unlike traditional therapy or counselling where you would typically work with a psychologist or therapist to unpack the past, life coaching is solely based on helping you to achieve the future that you want.

Psychologists and counsellors are extremely valuable to help you deal with past circumstances, pain or trauma and help you to gain some understanding and some coping skills or closure around it.

A life coach can be the one who then works with you to create your BEST possible future DESPITE whatever is in your past.

We can’t change the past but we can decide not to allow our past circumstances, decisions, successes or failures to cloud what we really want to happen NEXT

Do you need certification to be a life coach? Yes, and there are many different coaching certifications and schools. However, the most respected and internationally recognised comes from the ICF – International Coach Federation, a not for profit organisation.

The main difference, as well as the #1 rule of coaching is, coaches never give advice. 

That’s right, coaches do not give advice. It is always the coach’s role to empower the client to realise their own answers. And, importantly, the client always sets the agenda. 

Consultants and mentors on the other hand are hired to give you advice. Consultants and mentors work from the “been there done that, got the t-shirt” space. You are hiring them for their expertise in certain areas and are paying for their advice. 

Most on-going coaching packages are charged monthly and are paid in advance. 

Charges vary between $250 – $600 per month depending on the package and level of services provided. 

Packages can be tailored to suit your unique needs. 

Payment plans are available. Let’s discuss all your questions in a free discovery call. 

Of course. Self-improvement, personal success and goal setting are universal. 

My coaching style is suited to both men and women and all shades in between 🙂
