What Is Life Coaching?

Life coaching is a forward-focused, collaborative partnership designed to help you clarify your vision, set meaningful goals, and take consistent action toward the life you want. Unlike therapy, which often looks at the past to heal the present, coaching centres on where you're going — building momentum, clarity, and confidence step by step.

My Approach — More Than Words

What makes my coaching different? I don't just coach — I bring decades of real-world leadership alongside powerful psychological methods:

  • Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) — We focus on solutions, not problems. Identifying what works and building from there.
  • Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) — Understanding how your mind creates experience, and rewiring patterns that hold you back.
  • 35+ Years in Senior Management — I've sat in the leadership chair. I understand business pressure, career stakes, and what it takes to lead yourself and others.
  • Accountability + Empathy — I'll listen deeply, challenge gently, and keep you moving forward when motivation wavers.

Every conversation is confidential, non-judgemental, and entirely focused on your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between life coaching and therapy?
A: Great question. Therapy often focuses on understanding and healing past experiences, emotions, or mental health challenges. Coaching is forward-focused — clarifying goals, building action plans, and creating momentum. If you're dealing with deep trauma or clinical mental health conditions, I provide therapy too. Coaching works beautifully alongside or after healing — when you're ready to build your next chapter.
Q: How long does coaching take?
A: Most clients see meaningful change within 4–6 sessions. Some goals take longer; others shift surprisingly quickly. We agree on a plan together and review regularly — you're never locked in.
Q: Do you offer online sessions?
A: Yes — and they work beautifully. Online coaching is just as effective as in-person. Many clients actually prefer the convenience and comfort of their own space. I serve clients across Swindon, Cirencester, Wiltshire, and throughout the UK.
Q: What if I don't know what my goals are yet?
A: That's actually the most common starting point! Many people come knowing only that something needs to change. Part of our work together is discovering what you truly want — not what you think you should want. Clarity is a process, and we'll build it gently.
Q: Is everything confidential?
A: Absolutely — 100%. Everything shared stays between us. I follow the strict ethical code of the National Council for Hypnotherapy and professional coaching standards. Your privacy is protected at every level.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: Discovery consultation — FREE. Individual sessions and discounted blocks are available. Please see my Fees & Terms page for full pricing. Transparent, no hidden costs, and all sessions valid for 3 months.
Q: Can coaching help with career changes or redundancy?
A: Yes — it's one of my strongest areas. With 35+ years in senior management, I understand the professional landscape from the inside. I help clients navigate redundancy, pivot careers, build confidence, and position themselves for their next opportunity.
