My Approach
My coaching approach is designed for rapid, real-world change. It's direct, practical, and focused entirely on the future you want to build now.
I am here to provide help, advice, guidance, and empowerment. I won't simply listen; I will challenge you to confront old patterns, adopt new habits, and change the behaviors that are no longer serving you.
-
Action, Not Analysis: We focus exclusively on the here and now, and the specific interactions you need to improve this week. We do not explore your childhood or past origins in a therapeutic frame.
-
Empowerment through Strategy: I provide structured frameworks and proven tools—many drawn from my training—to unlock your ability to communicate effectively and create better outcomes.
-
Commitment to Change: We work together to identify what you are unhappy about, and I hold you accountable to make the necessary changes.
What I Offer
I offer the practical tools and guidance necessary to master the art of meaningful interaction and create stronger relationships. This is about changing your daily experience.
1. Become a Better Communicator
Learn how to articulate your needs clearly, set healthy boundaries, and ensure your message is truly heard, transforming conflict into productive conversation.
2. Deeper Understanding of Those Around You
Gain clarity on the motivations and behaviors of your partner, family, friends, and colleagues. You'll stop reacting to surface-level behavior and start responding to underlying needs, turning frustration into empathy and effective strategy.
3. Improved and Meaningful Interactions
Stop repeating the same damaging relationship patterns. I'll help you change your input so that you consistently get a different, more positive and satisfying output in every significant interaction.
About Me
Are you tired of repeating the same relationship cycles? Do you find yourself feeling misunderstood or walking away from conversations frustrated?
I understand that feeling deeply.
At 50, my life has been a relentless education in human connection. I am transparent about having navigated two failed marriages, and through those journeys, I experienced first-hand the pain and failure caused by profound communication breakdowns. This wasn't just heartbreak; it was a repeated, hard-earned lesson in what doesn't work.
My personal transformation, moving from a struggling communicator to a successful one, was deliberate and successful. I have worked in sales and marketing for 30 years, which requires effective thought-out communication. Thankfully I am married again and using the skills I have learnt to ensure a long lasting partnership.
This lived experience is fortified by intensive professional training. I have invested heavily in my understanding of human interaction, including three years dedicated to becoming a Transactional Analyst Therapeutic Counsellor*. This background provides me with a deep, specialized understanding of relationship dynamics and effective communication frameworks.
Important Boundary: While my background includes therapeutic training, my offering to you is strictly Life Coaching. We focus on forward-moving action, practical skills, and empowerment—not therapy or analysing the "where did it all come from" or your childhood.
