On this website you will learn about my
views on life coaching and its role in
enabling people to make important
changes and realise their goals.

There are a variety of pyschotherapeutic
methods - life coaching being one. It
is importanct to make informed choices
in order to get the best experience and
value. I give a brief introduction to the
main methods along with my views on their
efficacy.

Does life coaching work?

Kate (not her real name) had been feeling
low for a long time.
I felt certain I could help and suggested
she consider being a guinea pig for my
new life coaching skills. I told her about
coaching. She responded that while she
would be pleased to see me for a chat
she did not feel up to even thinking about
life coaching at the moment.

We did have that chat and I am sorry to say                                                         I applied a little covert life coaching. I asked Kate                                                             to think about some goals and suggested that she
try achieving them before my next visit.

The following week she was visibly better and
had achieved the goals she had set herself.
"I am feeling much better. Now tell me about
life coaching." she said.
 
Any technique that can achieve results like
that without the client even knowing they
are being treated must be very powerful
indeed.
