What is transformative coaching?
Transformative coaching is a process aimed at unlocking a person’s full potential. In partnership with me, my clients explore what they want to achieve, why that matters to them, the difference it would make to achieve that goal or outcome, and how they can get there. The intent behind transformative coaching in particular is to enable deep and lasting change through shifts in the client’s understanding of themselves.
Coaching uses structured conversation to enable the client to get to the root of their values, goals, desires, patterns and blockers, and to work out a path forward.
Coaching is collaborative, goal-oriented and forward-looking. It is led by you, the client, and the assumption underpinning the coaching relationship is that you are creative, resourceful and whole - I am not trying to fix you, nor to steer, advise or change. I am there to support the process of change that you want to go through, and will do this by asking clarifying questions, reflecting what I am hearing and seeing, and allowing you the space and focus to do your best thinking.
Coaching is not mentoring or consulting, and it is not therapy - but it can sit comfortably alongside both.
Coaching can be particularly helpful at times of transition or inflection points in life - when you are not sure what comes next. It can also help with relationships, personal and professional, via identifying your patterns of behaviour, where self-awareness can lead to better self-management. If you are feeling stuck, if you need help clarifying and structuring your thoughts, if you know you want something different but you aren’t sure why or what - all of these are things that coaching can help with.
Coaching package options
One of the most important factors in whether a coaching engagement will work well is the fit. This is why I always offer a no obligation 30-minute introductory session, in which we can get a sense of whether we’re likely to work well together. This also allows you to ask any questions you might have and get a better sense of what coaching is and whether it is for you, as well as sharing anything with me that you feel would be relevant to the engagement.
A single coaching session won’t solve everything - but it can achieve a lot! If you aren’t ready to commit to a coaching package, you’ve worked with me before and you want to book an ad hoc session to pick up something additional, you just have a single issue you want help to think through, or you feel you need a full session to really understand whether coaching is for you, I offer single sessions.
I prefer to book a full hour in our calendars on the understanding that we will aim for 50 minutes of coaching but allow for distractions, interruptions and to reduce the time pressure should we overrun slightly.
As I work towards ICF Accreditation, I am offering sessions at a discounted price for a limited period, in exchange for your commitment to give me feedback on how I have served you as a coach, and how I could have served you better; and to sharing a testimonial which I can use for marketing purposes should you feel comfortable doing so.
The most valuable work in coaching takes place over time - a package of 5 sessions allows us the space to get to grips with what you are bringing to coaching - be it your values, your beliefs, your patterns or your blockers, and achieve the change that you want.
How frequently we meet will depend on your preferences and of course, both our schedules. I find fortnightly generally works well, but see some clients weekly, some monthly and some on a more ad hoc basis. If we haven’t covered this in our introductory chat, we can discuss it in the first full session.

The full price for 5 individual sessions would be £500; I offer a reduction of 15% if you book a package, bringing the total cost to £425.

For a limited time I am therefore offering a further reduction of 50% - bringing the cost down to £212.50 for five coaching sessions.
