Individual
One-to-One Systemic Practice
“Typically, we hide our vulnerabilities from ourselves as well as from others. But to be the kind of person who truly accepts their responsibility requires knowledge of and access to self, far beyond that possessed by most people in this society.” Donella Meadows
Understanding how you operate; patterns of behaviour that you might not have previously noticed and exploring new ways of being can allow you to lead yourself in new ways. Within this space you’ll speak without interruption, be fully heard and explore your thoughts within a space which honours confidentiality. Moments of silence are embraced to fully explore a topic, reflect on what is being said and consider feelings within your body.
The nuts and bolts…
1
We meet online or in-person as often as feels necessary but at least once a month. You are only required to pay for two sessions in advance. We will check in with each other regularly to discover what’s serving you best and to understand when might be a good time to prepare for ending our conversations. My experience is that some clients value our conversations for years and others prefer a short time of focussed sessions.

My skills lie in listening to you attentively - recognising where you hesitate or become animated, looking for patterns in your behaviour and reflecting my observations for your consideration. I honour your silence, recognising the power of pauses and understanding that this can be a time of intense learning. We enquire into feelings as well as thoughts, we value the power of imagination and we may use objects as representations for relationships.

Reflection on the content of conversations; thoughts, words and feelings, is vital. An initial dialogue will open pathways into your conscious and unconscious thoughts; into feelings held within your body. Taking time to consider these in between sessions is vital for you to fully benefit. Similar to learning a language or musical instrument, it’s your own investment in the process which affects your mastery.
Individual sessions can last from 45 to 90 minutes. You decide on the duration, how frequently they happen and when they will end. You only pay for two sessions upfront and can cancel up to 48 hours prior to the coaching session for a full refund or to re-schedule..
