Individual Coaching
Full support with finding and following your passion
The Coaching Journey
You’re fed up of going it alone. You know that you’re treading water and going round in circles. You’re not satisfied, you’re not fulfilling your potential, and you’re becoming increasingly frustrated by that.
You’ve been stuck like this for a while now and it feels like a waste of time, when you could instead be out there following your passion, possibly even making a real difference in the world.
Yes, you’ve read the books and been on a workshop or two. They’ve been good in many ways: they’ve given you ideas and stoked your desires. You’ve had insights and seen some results – but what you’re craving is sustained momentum and to be getting in to truly new territory.
Time For 100% You
What you haven’t yet had is the the attention 100% fully on YOU. Maybe it’s felt too self-indulgent or too much of a luxury, and maybe there’s that little voice telling you that you’re not worth it. It means that you haven’t yet had the opportunity to hear yourself think and you haven’t yet been given the time and space to discover your own unique answers.
I cried when I came away from our first session. It was a mix of joy and sadness – sad because I felt so ‘stuck’ and ‘useless’, but positive because I was filled with some hope. I really enjoyed that session with you – your insights and skill of listening so well.
And now, I’m in action! I’ve launched the vegan group which is going really well. My confidence is at an all time high and the motto ‘feel the fear but do it anyway’ is in my head. I’m doing all sorts of things that are scaring the life out of me, but to have that confidence in myself is bloody brilliant. Thank you SO much.

You’ve also been missing accountability – it’s all just woolly and fuzzy and fluid. It’s been too easy to let yourself off the hook and renege on the commitments you make to yourself. You’ve allowed your ideas to slip into the background, gathering dust on the back burner of ‘Some Day’, with no-one noticing.
What you really crave is someone there walking beside you. Someone who won’t let you betray your dreams and sell yourself short, and who will also spot all those brave and wonderful steps you take that you fear no-one cares about. You crave a relationship in which you’re really listened to – both in terms of what you’re saying and also how you feel, behind the words. A relationship which holds you as brilliant and trusts that you’re resourceful, and gives you abundant room to access that resourcefulness.
You also need to know that the relationship is strong and solid and built to withstand turbulence; that it’s not going to disappear when things get messy. Much as you might not like to admit this, you want to know that it’s going to leave you nowhere to hide – in the most compassionate and supportive of ways.
And finally, you want the reassurance of in-built accountability through regular contact, plus encouragement and support between those points of contact.
I was hoping to get more of an idea of what I feel strongly about and how I can use that to help people. I found things that felt natural to me and I saw how I could use them to make a positive impact on other peoples lives. I was quite surprised at how quickly things happened and was also surprised at how open I felt to the possibility of some of the things that came up! I’m now in the process of learning and training to do what I want to do, and I have the ideas and motivation to start now. Thank you so much for all your input to this bit of the journey. Am now really looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds!

Someone To Walk Beside You
I’ve been working as a coach for five years, helping people in unfulfilling work to instead find and follow their passion. I’ve become intimately acquainted with the highs and lows of these journeys, plus every nook and cranny along the way. I’ve seen the same obstacles time and again and have witnessed such brilliance in those brave enough to take the actions and paths of inquiry necessary to navigate around and through these obstacles.
I believe that we each have a ‘contribution footprint’ to find and then firmly plant on the ground, and as a highly trained and certified coach, it is my honour to support you as you make this journey yourself.
I am a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) and Associate Certified Coach (ACC) having trained 2005-2007 with the Coach Training Institute.
Here’s How It Works…
The individual coaching package is for four months. Over these four months, we schedule eight coaching sessions, each of 45 minutes, which take place either by phone or in person. We space these out at twice per month so that you feel solidly supported and also that you have time in between sessions to take the actions which arise from our conversations. For these four months, you also receive as much email support as you would like – offering you a chance to check in between sessions, share challenges and celebrate successes.
The package is £600. This can either be paid in one payment or in 4 x monthly payments of £150 each. This pricing is inclusive of support via email in between sessions and also of administration/payment processing charges.
So What’s The Next Step?
You have worked wonders with me. I don’t even know where to begin.
I have taken such leaps: I have a new website, I completed another module of training, I started my own blog and now write for a local magazine, and I set up my fitness boot camp and networking site. I am now much, much busier but my life is peaceful. I am happy and focused on my career and also on the positive things that I have achieved.
I am proud of myself and it actually makes me cry to write this. When I think back to how I was when I started this journey with you, I realise how far I have come within myself. I have turned my life around. I now run a successful fitness coaching company and I inspire people with what I bring into their lives which is a very powerful feeling. I don’t think I have ever felt this much belief from other people – or maybe it’s that I have not had the belief in myself.
Now my outlook is one of positivity and I do believe in myself. You have brought joy, light and laughter back into my life and it has been an honour and a privilege to have you walk beside me.

Thank you so much for all the totally wonderful inspiration you’ve given me and for helping me find my ‘roar’.
I think you’ve realised the massive impact the last 8 months have had on my life and how key they’ve been in helping me create my future and enabling me to reclaim ME!
So a million thank you’s to you!
