Transformational Coaching
Where are you now – and where do you want to be?
Sometimes you know something needs to change, but knowing what needs to change – or how to make it happen – can be much harder.
You might have a clear goal you want to achieve. You might feel stuck or unsure about what comes next. There may be a habit or pattern that no longer works for you. Or you may simply know that where you are now isn’t where you want to stay.
Transformational Coaching gives you the space to step back, understand what’s happening and work out what you want instead.
Together, we turn that into something practical:
Where are you now?
Where do you want to be?
What’s getting in the way?
What needs to change?
What are you going to do about it?
No judgement. No telling you what your life should look like. Just the space, support and structure to help you find your own way forward.
Not sure whether coaching is right for you?
You can book a free 20-minute Discovery Call to talk about what’s happening, what you’d like to change and whether working together feels like the right next step.
Goal Mapping – Turning What You Want Into a Plan
Goal Mapping sits at the heart of much of my 1:1 coaching. It is a whole-brain approach, using both words and images, to help you understand what you really want and create a practical route towards it.
We start with the why.
Why does this matter to you? What is the motivation, desire or need underneath the change you want to make?
From there we explore the what – what would fulfilling that why actually look like? What are you trying to create, change or achieve?
Then we begin turning that into action by working through the how, who and when – how you can move forward, who or what might support you, and when things need to happen.
It takes something that may initially feel vague, overwhelming or simply stuck in your head and turns it into a visual Goal Map that gives you clarity, direction and something tangible to work with.
Your goal doesn’t have to be enormous. It might relate to your career, confidence, wellbeing, relationships, lifestyle or direction. You might want to establish a new habit, let go of an old one, navigate a period of change or finally act on something you’ve been thinking about for years.
The important thing is that it’s your goal, not mine.
My role is to help you uncover the why, get clear about what you want and support you in turning that into meaningful action.
Changing Habits, Patterns and Unhelpful Coping Behaviours
Change isn’t always about achieving something new. Sometimes it’s about changing something you’re already doing.
You may have noticed that you’ve started relying on something to get through stress, switch off, reward yourself or cope with difficult feelings. That could be alcohol, sugar, food, smoking, overworking or another habit or behaviour that has gradually become less helpful.
You don’t need to give yourself a label before asking for support.
My background includes specialist training in addiction and recovery coaching, but my work isn’t about defining you by a behaviour.
We can explore what’s happening now, what you would like to be different, what may be sitting underneath the pattern and what could help you create change that feels realistic and meaningful.
Coaching That Starts With You
There isn’t one script that every individual needs to follow.
Goal Mapping can provide the foundation and structure for our work, but I also draw on many years of professional coaching and experience supporting individuals through change.
That means we can work with what actually emerges.
- Sometimes you need clarity and a plan.
- Sometimes you need somebody to ask the questions you’ve been avoiding.
- Sometimes you need to understand what’s keeping you stuck.
- Sometimes the original goal changes once you begin exploring what’s really going on.
- And sometimes the most useful thing is simply having a confidential space in which you can think properly, without somebody else telling you what you should do.
The work belongs to you. I’m there to help you navigate it.
Why Work With Me?
Change has been at the heart of my work for nearly three decades.
My route into transformational coaching didn’t begin with setting up a wellbeing business.
I have around 27 years’ professional experience working with individuals, teams, leaders and organisations through development and change.
I’m a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD – the highest level of professional membership within the profession – and have held Chartered Fellow status for around 15 years. I’m also an ILM-qualified coach and have been coaching individuals and leadership teams for well over a decade.
During my professional career I’ve led and supported significant organisational transformation, including large-scale change across organisations, as well as working one-to-one with the individuals experiencing that change.
Because organisational change ultimately happens to individuals.
Behind a restructure, new direction or major transition are individuals dealing with uncertainty, fear, confidence, decisions, resistance and the question: “What happens to me now?”
Those same human experiences appear outside work too.
Over the years I’ve continued to develop my practice through Goal Mapping, change management, specialist recovery coaching and Somatic Breathwork, giving me different approaches and tools to draw upon depending on what an individual needs.
And alongside the professional experience and qualifications, I bring lived experience of having to make significant changes in my own life.
I understand change professionally. I also understand what it can feel like when you’re the one having to make it.
