Integral Coaching is an approach which looks at your life as a whole, not one isolated area. Integral means inclusive of everything. Change is at the heart of coaching whether it is exploring healthier ways of being or transformative work that results in significant development. More often than not the challenge or opportunity you are wanting to explore has shown up in your life from an early age and by understanding past behaviour we are able to open up possibilities for the future. Should an underlying psychological issue become evident the client would be referred to a Clinical Psychologist, as it's not appropriate for the coach to work in that space. An integral approach brings about change that endures beyond the coaching relationship. The client becomes more self-aware, and is able to self-correct and self-generate alternate ways of being. Integral Coaching is focussed on future possibilities.

My Approach
One-on-one coaching is a confidential relationship between myself and the client. If you are a private client we will meet in a private space, Corporate clients I usually come to you. On average a coaching relationship lasts for 9/10 sessions meeting approximately every 3 weeks. Each session is 1 hour.
Coaching circles consist of about 8 people and can cover a multitude of topics. These can be Private or Corporate. Meetings are every 3 weeks, last for 4 hours and usually 3 - 5 sessions take place. Regardless of Circle topic, coaching skills are imparted in the process.
Workshops are designed for the identified need, topics are varied, and duration can be a morning, a day, or 2 days, depending on the complexity of the topic.

What do I Offer?
The Psychology of Teal
Teal blends blue’s tranquil stability with green’s optimism and healing properties. Teal is the color of restfulness and mental and spiritual balance. The calm shade has a natural dignity that is not contrived or “in your face.” Teal’s understated elegance encourages a calm, reflective mood. Brighter teal tones are unique and smart.
