"At the very beginning of my coaching I didn't know what to expect at all"

    "At the very beginning of my coaching I didn't know what to expect at all . I was not somebody that talked to people about my feelings, worries and memories. I bottled everything up and dealt with it all the wrong way.  After my first one to one session I could feel a difference in my mind and how this could turn out. Once I had my second session I was so comfortable talking to my coach who was so professional in every way possible and so friendly at the same time.  She helped me get through certain periods in my life, just talking to her  and listening to what she had to say gave me a new way of living and understanding how to deal with certain matters in so many different ways instead of just the anger coming through.  I can honestly say the coaching has helped shape me to become a better person and see things so differently  I didn't even know I could . My coaching sessions felt like I was just talking to a friend and that helped i...

Self Discovery ....

Wanting to try coaching, but not sure what to expect? Here's what one of our clients has to say... I found my first session helpful as it was a bit of a self discovery lesson.

CLOSE YET FAR As I sit here thinking about what to share, I am listening to a song called Revive, by one of my favourite bands The Anchor. Each of the songs they put out is so powerful and this new single is no different and the words literally are ringing through my ears: “I can’t keep doing this to myself, I’m running in circles again. I am my own worst enemy, I have to start believing in myself”. This verse really speaks to me, in-particularly the last line: “I have to start believing in myself”, mainly because It seems like such an easy thing to think, but a mountain of a challenge to do. Now, this might sound completely random as you haven’t a clue who I am. My name is Simon, from Blackburn, I’m 31 and I’m trying to follow my dream of being a Mystery Performer. If you saw me walking down the street, you wouldn’t think I suffered from depression. At the time of writing this, I have a bright purple Mohawk and tattoos covering my hands. I stand out from a mile away...
