Life Coaching

What this is

Life coaching with me is about the shape of your life rather than one problem inside it: what you are spending your years on, what you have quietly stopped expecting, and what you would move if you thought you were allowed to.

Most people arrive with the facts already in hand. They know the job is wrong, or the city is wrong, or the way they spend their week is not the way they want to spend it. What they do not have is a place to say it out loud and think it through without someone immediately telling them what they would do.

So we take it apart slowly. What you want, in plain words, before we discuss whether it is realistic. What you are actually choosing, as opposed to what you say you want. What it would cost to change, and what it is already costing not to. Those are ordinary questions, and almost nobody gets asked them.

This is practical and forward-looking work. If what comes up turns out to be heavier than a decision — something older, still painful — I will say so, and we can move into therapeutic work instead. You are not stuck in one lane because of the name you booked under.

What it can help with

A life that looks fine on paper and does not feel like yours
A transition you did not choose — a move, a loss, a job that ended, a marriage that changed shape
A transition you did choose and cannot get moving on
Knowing exactly what you should do and doing the other thing anyway
Carrying everyone else and having no idea what you would want if nobody needed you
Reaching something you worked years for and feeling nothing when you got there
Decisions that stay open for years because either answer costs something
Being told you are difficult, or too much, or too quiet, often enough that you started believing it
Building a life here after time abroad, or deciding whether to go

What a session is like

You come in and we talk. There is no form to fill in first, no assessment to pass, and no correct way to begin. Most people start by apologizing for not knowing where to start. You can begin in the middle. It sorts itself out.

The pace is unhurried on purpose. I ask questions and then I leave space, which can feel unfamiliar if you are used to being interrupted. You control what you share. If I ask something you do not want to answer, say so and we go elsewhere. Nothing you say leaves the room.

I am not going to hand you a five-step plan. If a plan were the answer, you would already have solved this — you are not short of plans. What we do instead is look at the structure underneath the plans that keeps quietly overruling them.

Sessions vary. Some are practical and we work on a specific decision. Some go somewhere older. Some you spend most of talking and I say very little. All of those are the work.

Common questions

Is coaching the right thing, or do I need therapy?

If you want to work out a direction and get moving, coaching is a reasonable place to start. If what is stopping you is something painful that has not been dealt with, therapy is the better door. You do not have to know which one you need before you book — working that out is a normal first conversation, and I offer both.

What if I run out of things to say?

Then we sit for a moment and something comes. Silence is not an awkward gap I need you to fill. It is often where the useful thing arrives.

Is what I say confidential?

Yes. What you tell me stays between us. If you have specific concerns about privacy, ask me before you book and I will answer them straight.

Do I have to commit to a course of sessions?

No. Come once and see how it sits with you. Deciding not to come back is a legitimate outcome, and you do not owe me an explanation for it.
