"Our sessions have enabled me to stand back and analyse my behavior with a view to changing and adapting it to different life situations."

How coaching works
Coaching serves as a catalyst to help you reach and exceed your wildest expectations in all areas of your life. Through the process of inquiry and personal discovery, it builds your levels of awareness and responsibility and provides you with structure, support and feedback. You develop clarity and focus that you translate into actions to achieve your desired results. Limiting self beliefs are silenced and you are free to be yourself. Thanks to a fuller knowledge of what is important to you at your present stage in life you gain accurate insight into your true needs. You become better able to take steps towards filling them. You learn to take charge of your situation, even when it is not easy. You are free to dream and reach confidently for the stars, carving out the future you really want for yourself.

Coaching is not advice, counselling or therapy. It addresses specific personal projects, business successes, or general conditions in your life.

The term co-active refers to the fundamental nature of our coaching relationship in which the coach and client work together actively. The client is held as naturally creative, resourceful and whole. Nevertheless there are times when you are stuck in a rut or facing challenges and when something extra is needed to free you and set the wheels in motion again. This is where I come in...

Programmes
I offer various programmes to suit different needs, either on a one to one basis or in small workshops. These include:
  1. The decision maker´s guide to optimizing transition
  2. Crossing borders for expat spouses
  3. Finding and keeping your dream relationship
  4. FOCCUS Pre-Marriage Inventory
  5. REFOCCUS Marriage Enrichment Inventory
One to one coaching begins with a 30-minute introduction to the coaching process, discussion of your wishes and what you can expect. There is no charge for this meeting. If we decide to work together, I will ask you to answer some preparatory questions. Next comes a 90-minute discovery session. You will look at where you are in your life at the moment in areas such as relationships, having more fun, career, or home life.

The next sessions last 50 minutes and focus on topics that you choose to be coached on. You, the client, decide what is important to you and where the emphasis needs to be placed. In between sessions you will have a certain amount of “homework” to be accountable for, in order to reach your goals. A shift in perception can occur quite rapidly. An initial series of six sessions is recommended.
