Coaching approach

My coaching philosophy is close to the principles of Transactional Analysis: that people are OK; everybody has the capacity to think; and that they decide their own destiny, and that these decisions can be changed. I believe that people are not broken and have the capability to make the changes they need to make. Whether coaching 1:1 or teams I take a systemic approach. We all exist in different contexts and this affects how we are being and who we are being. I want to co-create any coaching relationship. The most important thing is for us to create a safe space where things can be explored with courage. The work may be about what you are doing, or it may be about who you are being, or both. In either case, we create a relationship and process that works for us. Whatever we do, I'm proud that clients tell me they value my practical and pragmatic approach.
