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. I had to write down things that I valued about myself which I don't like doing or even like talking about myself. I found that asking someone else what they saw in me was a lot easier and they saw qualities in me that I didn't. I found this quite emotional knowing that I wasn't useless and I actually have a purpose to many. In the following weeks I had several "tasks" to complete, including, writing down my core values, learning anchoring and 5,4,3,2,1 techniques. I have found different phrases to help in some situations such as "is this way I'm feeling of any use to me" also " don't give certain people (who aren't helping me) a seat at my table. The anchoring technique is very helpful and is now second nature. From my chats with Caroline we've worked out t...

"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.

My coaching sessions felt like I was just talking to a friend and that helped i...

Don't be hard on yourself............

  I have been living with anger all my life, I think many people do without realising. However with some people, me included, it is deep rooted and hidden, and can  affect lives in profound ways if we refuse to address it and understand its origins. I have only recently discovered how being angry can impact how I feel, and how that can affect how things turn out, positively or negatively. I never used to get angry, very rarely. In fact I used to quietly envy people that seemed to be able to vent their emotions and saw it as a part of being confident. I think I was confusing passion with anger to some extent. It is possible to have a passion without being angry. When we realise the benefits of our passions and interests then we often defend them strongly if need be. I think that is when a wider interest comes into play, and we are aware that what we do and enjoy has a positive effect on wellbeing, ours and the people around us. When I was hospitalised in 2002 with psychosis. I ...
