Life Coaching


What is Life Coaching?

Life Coaching is a purposeful journey of supported self discovery and action which can help you gain greater happiness and fulfillment. 

It helps you rediscover the things in life that bring you joy and helps you live life with a sense of flow and purpose. It helps you to get clearer about what matters to you and helps you recognise your own strengths and abilities. It can help you to feel less stuck and more alive and give you the clarity and confidence to move forward in whatever way is right for you.

 
What Do People Ask For Help With?

People often come to me for help to improve their work/life balance or because they're at a crossroads in their life and want to explore their options before making a life changing decision.

Sometimes people are feeling stressed or overwhelmed and want to make some pro-active changes to protect their mental and emotional well-being. 

People also come to coaching simply because they want more from life and aren't sure what that might look like or where to start to find it. Life Coaching can be the beginning of an exciting new chapter.

 
I Heard It's About Reaching Goals. What If You Don't Have Any Goals?

If you want things to be different you're going to need a goal to create the change you want but you don't need to have a specific goal in mind when you start. However the fact that you're considering Life Coaching suggests you want to feel happier and more fulfilled and that's a great goal to start with. I can help you to get clearer on what that might look like for you and help you identify a way forward that inspires you and which you feel motivated to pursue.

 
What Happens In a Coaching Session?

You talk, I listen and ask questions, we set goals, we review your progress and much more. Conversation is at the heart of our work together however the process is closer to learning than therapy or counselling and we'll be focusing on your future rather than your past.

You'll be supported to discover your own answers and solutions to any challenges you may be facing and helped to identify small changes that will make the biggest difference overall. You'll also be able to identify any beliefs or assumptions that may be holding you back.
 
I can also suggest tools and practices which are proven to help improve your happiness and well-being.
 
 
What Else Can I Expect?

There will be assignments for you to complete in your own time and resources are provided to support this. These are intended as an opportunity to experiment with ideas explored in our sessions and to apply them to your life. It may be something as simple as keeping a journal of your thoughts between sessions but it will be specific to what you want to get from our work together.

You can expect to be heard and supported in your choices and decisions. I respect your confidentiality and your right to progress at your own pace.
 
 
How Do I Know If It's For Me? 

Life coaching is an investment in your future happiness and is best suited to those who are ready to make that a reality. Only you know if that's you.

 
How much does it cost?

I offer one off coaching sessions at the cost of £50 per hour. This can be helpful if you want to test the water and see if coaching is for you, or if you want to gain clarity on a specific issue.

I also offer a 3 month programme at a cost of £320. This includes 6 x one hour coaching sessions (usually weekly or fortnightly depending on which works best for you) followed by a 7th follow up session to help keep you on track.  

It's my experience that a minimum of 6 sessions are needed to create lasting results. Further sessions can be agreed (at additional cost) should you prefer to progress at a gentler pace.

I offer a no cost and no obligation 30 minute consultation to help you decide whether Life Coaching is right for you.

"Susan helped me reframe some beliefs that weren't helping me, and helped me to crystallise where I'm going in life. Having a plan and a clear vision will give me the confidence to take the next steps. Susan really listened and understood, and I came away feeling energised. I would highly recommend her to anyone else who is feeling "stuck". R.M.

"Susan’s skill lies in enabling you to unlock your potential, finding the answers that are already inside you. Careful, sensitive questions help to tease these things out. Susan is thoroughly professional and works with warm kindness. I would recommend her coaching services to anyone wanting to expand their horizons." S.J.

"Susan is a warm friendly lady who allows you think out loud while she focuses on the relevant information and breaks it down to make sense. I feel like she brought clarity to my situation and gave me tools/options to use in the future. Her notes were given to me which will be very helpful to read over to jog my memory." L.E.
