Life Coaching
Life coaching helps you understand the gap between your current situation and where you want to be, focusing on solutions to bridge the two. This can include personal development, goal setting, and overcoming obstacles. It generally helps improve self-awareness, motivation, focus, confidence, relationships, resilience, and more.
Create the life you want
Find your path forward and let go of what’s holding you back.
I’ve been helping people identify their problems and find potential solutions in my coaching practice for over a decade now. I’m passionate about supporting people with all sorts of issues, and personalise my sessions to your unique situation. My approach is holistic and open-minded, making sure you feel comfortable to share your story and fulfil your potential.
How it works
01 Initial meeting
In our first session we’ll discuss where you’re at, what you’d like to change, and where you want to end up. Then if you are happy with the session and feel we are a good fit, we book in the next session. All sessions are 60 minutes and can be held in person at my Wellington CBD office, online, or by phone.
02 We begin the work
In the second to fourth sessions (the number of sessions varies depending on the depth and scope of issues you want to cover) we look at different options and ‘try on’ different therapeutic techniques and strategies. The sessions can be weekly, fortnightly, or monthly depending on your preference. In between meetings you get to try out the strategies in real life to see what does and doesn’t work for you.
03 Following up
When you’re happy with the plan we’ve developed and the progress you are making we schedule one or two follow-up sessions. These are invaluable for accountability purposes to make sure you’re still on track, and allow us to fine-tune strategies and deal with any unexpected obstacles.

Frequently asked questions
Coaching provides an effective support system for achieving personal and professional goals by helping you get clear on what you want and how you are going to make it happen.
Working with a coach enables you to take a step back within a safe and supportive environment and review where you are currently, clarify where you want to go, expand and evaluate the range of options available to you, focus on strengths and resources to overcome obstacles, and create practical plans to enable you to attain your objectives.
During the first session we will establish your goal(s) for coaching, and discuss some background information. The number of sessions required varies widely, depending on individual circumstances, but averages around 4-6 sessions. Often this is followed by 1 or 2 follow up sessions to monitor and fine-tune progress.
Coaching sessions last 60 minutes and can be held in my office or online.
All sessions are confidential. The only exception is if there is concern for your safety or the safety of another person.
