About Me

KNOW YOURSELF.
GROW YOURSELF.
POWER UP.

I am a Symbolic Coach, helping you to discover new perspectives, insights and pathways to move you from stagnancy and fog to flow, clarity and momentum.

Along the way, we will grow your self-awareness, intuition and access to innate inner knowledge, cultivating skills that will allow you to move through life with an expanded capacity for self-knowledge, resourcefulness and resilience.

This coaching style is for anyone curious about exploring their inner world to transform their outer world.

APPROACH:
My coaching style draws on symbolic modelling and emergent knowledge coaching methodologies. Alongside dialogue, Symbolic Coaching taps into the extended mind-body system to draw out latent inner knowledge by incorporating movement, space, metaphor, imagery and drawing as appropriate.

Symbolic Coaching has helped me, personally and professionally, to:
• Heal from burn-out and deal with life transitions
• Manage overwhelm, confusion, "going in circles," procrastination and self-doubt
• Find clarity, direction and motivation
• Have stronger relationships
• Be happier with my work
• Enhance my creativity

The methods I use with clients are the same that I use for managing my life and defining success on my terms. Alongside addressing immediate issues, the long-lasting benefits I've experienced through this approach include:
• Attunement: Greater awareness of reactions, of what energises and what drains
• Alignment: Decisions and actions informed by one's truest self
• Adaptivity: The ability to meet life's challenges, both good and bad, with confidence, grace, and a growth mindset

MY BACKGROUND:
I came to coaching through my professional background as a researcher, aware of the power of deep listening and use of metaphor, both core elements of symbolic modelling and emergent knowledge methodologies. Exploring and experiencing the profound effects of these processes led me to become accredited in Clean Coaching with the Institute for Leadership and Management, UK in 2022.
