Life Coaching

Life coaching enables you to be at your best in your life, your work and your health. There is a saying:

Performance = Potential – Interference.

Coaching helps you to identify and remove whatever interference is getting in the way of you achieving your potential.

Coaching is based on the premise that you are the expert in your life and your current situa-tion. The coach asks you questions and gives you exercises that help you to unlock thoughts, ideas and solutions that you would not otherwise have thought of.

Coaching gives you clarity of thought and en-ables you to take decisions. It is forward look-ing and action focused. You identify your aims and the actions you are going to take to achieve them. Coaching makes sure you do actually take those actions, move forwards and succeed in your aims. If you come across ob-stacles along the way, coaching helps you to overcome them.

Coaching enables you to be at your best so that you can perform at your best.

• Life seems out of control, or you are stuck in a rut;

• Knowing what you want to do but can’t seem to make it happen;

• Having to make changes to your lifestyle or work as a result of a health issue;

• Struggling to follow medical advice such as taking exercise or changing your diet;

• Returning to work after long term sickness absence;

• Lacking in confidence;

• Dealing with a difficult relationship at work or at home;

• Too much to do, too little time;

• Want to perform better at work;

• Too much going on inside your head and can’t think straight;

• Stress from work affecting your home life or your health;

• Know life could be better – not sure how.

How does coaching work?

As a coach I help you to work through your thoughts, values, beliefs, aspirations, achievements and life experiences to help you to find the best way forward. I do this by asking you questions, providing you with tools and techniques, giving you exercises and other activities to carry out, and, above all, by ensuring you carry out the actions you say you are going to do.

The coaching process is designed to suit your needs and circumstances and is based on the following steps:

  1. An initial free, 20 minute, no-obligation discussion to explore how Back on Track can help you.
  2. We design a programme of coaching to suit your needs. Fees are agreed at this stage.
  3. You receive a few written questions that, where possible, you complete in advance of the first coaching session.
  4. Sessions are usually held fortnightly, each one lasting 50 minutes. (The first one is generally 80 minutes.) Sessions can be held weekly if you prefer.
  5. Between sessions you take the actions you have decided on during each session and complete any activities or exercises you have chosen to do.
