Counselling + Coaching Sessions

Counselling and Life Coaching

Combing counselling sessions with an on-going coaching program is a service I have found my clients are often seeking. With these clients, counselling sessions became coaching sessions at a certain point after they led them there.

In what way and what would this involve?

Talking to a counsellor about emotions and feelings usually turns into ‘WHY am I feeling this way?’ This is then explored and your history, influences, habits, and obvious patterns of thought can be discovered. A counselling session on its own will continue to have you seek answers and ‘deep dive’ into those feelings with me utilising the counselling models that suit you in particular. The focus is healing.

And if you’re then wanting to engage in proactive change, and are ready for the HOW, my counselling/coaching program will suit you. Change can come through your self-awareness, thoughts, acceptance, forgiveness, behaviour and actions; coaching is a great tool to tap into these. It means you’re not alone and have a guide, support crew and a cheering squad alongside you the whole journey! It’s a rare person that can set a timely course and stay motivated to the end, entirely alone. You will be helping yourself by teaming up, and you’ll have a higher chance of permanent and lasting change. No successful person ever got there alone!

It would involve me taking you through exercises and worksheets, suggested readings and activities. You can lay out your goals as well as an action plan for yourself. Goals that are not simply a physical approach for self-care (but you need to include that) but one that will deliver: an increase in self-awareness, detoxing and reframing of your thoughts, changing of perspective, a higher connectedness to your environment, and understanding of universal energy.
