What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
Being both an accredited coach and psychotherapist allows me to help my clients understand better how their mind works. This is essential for personal growth. I work with clients to help them learn to accept our modes of thought rather than fight them so we can use this to help manage life’s challenges. Normally it is the chains of the past or the fear of the future that holds people back. By working closely with my clients I help create an epiphany moment or moments that empowers them to drive change and growth for themselves.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
It’s difficult to pinpoint one single critical thing however it is through working with 100s of clients and spending literally 1000s of hours with them discussing their issues or helping them grow as individuals that has been the single most critical contribution. Whilst we all have things in common, it is through gaining this level of experience and listening closely to each client that allows me to help my clients find the right key to unlock the door to success.
In essence, my success as a coach hinges on the deep, empathetic connection I establish with each of my clients. This connection is built on a foundation of trust and mutual respect, allowing clients to feel safe and understood. It’s not just about offering advice or strategies; it’s about truly listening and engaging with their unique experiences, challenges, and aspirations. Each client’s journey is different, and by tailoring my approach to meet their specific needs, I help them uncover insights and develop strategies that are genuinely transformative.
Moreover, my dual background in coaching and psychotherapy gives me a unique edge. This combination allows me to delve deeper into the psychological barriers that often hinder personal and professional growth. By addressing these underlying issues, my clients can achieve a more profound and lasting change. It’s not just about achieving immediate goals, but about fostering long-term personal development and resilience. This holistic approach enables clients to not only overcome current challenges but also to be better equipped for future ones.
