As a professional life coach, I work with people who want to achieve more in their lives and I assist them to close the gap between where they are and where they want to be.
We work together to discover what is important to them, what is missing from their lives or their business and what outcomes they are looking for.
The outcome of coaching is long term excellence and the ability for clients to move forward on their own.
As a life coach I use multiple methods, including NLP, to help my clients with the process of setting and reaching goals.

How does life coaching compare with counselling, psychotherapy and mentoring?
Life coaching draws its influences from a wide range of disciplines, including counselling, management consultancy, personal development and psychology. However, it is very different from counselling, psychotherapy and mentoring.
Life coaching focuses on the present and future, rather than dwelling on the past. It doesn’t pretend to have all the solutions, but it provides clients with tools and strategies to make positive changes and improvements. With life coaching, the past is only relevant by helping to find out what has prevented a person from moving forwards. It helps to identify obstacles and barriers a person is experiencing and finds ways to overcome them.
Coaching is not targeted at psychological illness.
