Coaching

Coaching provides a space for the client to see an issue from a more detached perspective and then to problem-solve, perhaps in different ways. I take a practical approach to goal-setting using ideas, tools and frameworks from several different sources like Sir John Whitmore’s GROW model or Cognitive Behavioural Coaching approaches.
An intrinsic part of coaching is to increase the self-awareness of the client so that they deepen their insight into their own patterns of thinking and behaving, and can regulate themselves even better in the future.

Counselling

Counselling often involves deeper-level work that may look at patterns in behaviours and relationships to understand where these come from, and to allow a space from which they can be challenged, updated or worked through. Through careful listening, questioning and via the therapeutic relationship, there can be a processing of emotions that have kept the client stuck in unhelpful patterns of behaving, often for many years.

NB – I often work on the continuum of coaching and counselling as I find that it is beneficial for some coaching clients to work at depth so as to understand what may stop them from being successful. Also, with counselling clients, particularly as we transition to an ending, it is helpful to develop a pragmatic plan of actions.

Supervision

To work as a professional coach or counsellor it is imperative to have regular supervision to gain awareness and insight into your professional practice and to further develop knowledge and skills. I see supervision as ‘learning in action’ and a place within which I both challenge and support so as to improve the practice of the coaching or counselling professional.
