What is a Discovery Session?
This fully immersive and interactive experience lasts between one and two hours.
This no-obligation consultation allows us to find out about each other. We will identify, explore and understand key areas of your life including your current challenges, goals, desires and aspirations for the future.
It is important we work well together, and you are confident that I am the right coach for you, and I am happy you will benefit from my coaching expertise.
Once this is established, we can discuss the next steps of your coaching journey to achieving positive sustainable changes in your life.
Do you find yourself:
Regularly feeling tired, lethargic, lazy, uninspired or unmotivated?
Feeling lost and in search of something, but don’t know what it is?
Telling yourself you are ok, but deep down you know you’re not?
Trying to process multiple thoughts at once and unable to focus on the task at hand?
Not enjoying your career path and yearn for change, but don’t know how?
Ask yourself, “Is this it?” and don’t see anything changing.
Have you:
Achieved everything you set out to do and still don’t feel content and satisfied?
Noticed becoming overly self – critical and regularly question your actions?
Got frustrated or angry with yourself and others?
Felt less confident and suffered from unhelpful thoughts?
Become hesitant and less productive?
Questioned why?
If you answered yes to any of these questions? Congratulations! You have just taken the first step to change. I have been there, confused and conflicted, desperately trying to justify past decisions and validate my existence. I needed help and I invested in myself, working with a coach who enabled me to take the tools and skills I had and use them to change and have a more fulfilled and satisfying life.
What is coaching?
Coaching is a partnership between a coach and an individual, group or business to provide thought provoking sessions; allowing the client to gain clarity on a situation, event or challenge and enables them to find solutions. Although coaching appreciates events that have happened in the past, it focusses on moving forward, creating awareness and development that lead to a more positive outcome and future growth.
Why is it so effective?
Coaching is very effective because it is all about you. Each bespoke coaching session will evolve to set and achieve your personal goals.
You are empowered to analyse your life and discover what you really want. You take responsibility and become accountable for focussing on who you are, what you want and finding your solutions to create the growth and development that you want.
What area of coaching do I specialise in?
I specialise as a Fulfilment Coach; helping you find your purpose and take action to live a more impactful and fulfilled life.
People often confuse fulfilment with success. The thing is, you can be rich, famous and successful but still be unfulfilled; however, it is possible to be poor, unknown and unsuccessful but fully satisfied and fulfilled in your life.
This is because every person is unique, and depends on what is important to you, and what you are prepared to settle for or challenge yourself to achieve.
I help you analyse your present situation and clarify what parts of it make you feel unsatisfied. We then work to identify your purpose and understand what you want and where you want to be in the future. I then support you to create goals and act upon them to make long lasting sustainable changes and reach your desired outcome.
Why I can help you?
I am no different from anybody else. I grew up watching sport, dreaming of being a famous sports person. And then, when that opportunity faded, I created the next best ideal life in my head. For me that was a good career, beautiful wife, kids, detached house with idyllic garden, fit and healthy, nice cars, holidays, relaxed, happy and totally fulfilled life.
I worked hard for years, building successful careers in two different Industries and found myself in a position where I was living my ideal life, with everything I thought would make me happy. But the reality was completely the opposite, I was stressed, miserable and totally unsatisfied with what I had.
The problem was, although other people saw an amazing life, this success came at a personal cost. I was critical and hard on myself, comparing myself to others; I saw their success as my failure, and even when I achieved, I tormented myself that I should have done more, without stopping to appreciate and celebrate what I had achieved; A feeling that I’m sure is shared by others.
I was just going through the motions of waking up, feeling miserable and unable to comprehend a different existence. I felt disconnected from my home life and guilty about not spending enough time with my young family. I lost my drive, enthusiasm and inner confidence. I felt unsupported, unmotivated, unable to think clearly and incapable of making decisions to help myself. I had no idea what I needed or wanted to be happy.
Whilst on holiday, walking along the beach with my family all I could think about was ending it all. These unhelpful thoughts made me angrier with myself for thinking this way, as I had nothing (but everything) to complain about!
Then one day, my body literally shut down. The long hours, work levels, the constant pressure I was putting myself under and all the thoughts in my head, just caused my body to crash. The crazy thing was, it wasn’t even my business that I was killing myself for! I realised I couldn’t keep doing something that was destroying me from the inside out, so I resigned and left with nothing.
I was desperate and knew something had to change in my life. I didn’t know what that change was, or what I would have to do, but I knew, deep down, that something wasn’t right, and I was prepared to find it.
So, I hired a coach……
How much is this all going to cost? What If I can’t afford It? Why should I pay for this?
You might be thinking “why should I be concerned about fulfilment? I’ve got more important things to worry about” Well, let me reframe that for you. What would you invest in first? Stocks and Shares, Property, Premium Bonds, Cars or YOU?
Is there a price too high for your own happiness and long-term mental health? If the answer is yes, then we need to have a conversation!My fees are very affordable, with various payment plans to suit everyone. I also offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee up to 30 days into the relationship*.
This has yet to happen but there is always a first time and if it’s you then you’ll get your money back. *
*fees will be returned minus administration costs for the initial discovery session.
How the coaching works.
From working with a coach, I became aware of the things I had been doing that weren’t serving me. I had lived my life based on what I thought I should be doing, I was deemed successful by others and achieved things for my family’s future, but I had never taken the time to fully explore what I wanted.
What did I want to do? What would bring me true fulfilment, purpose, and meaning? It became clear that I would never find those things in work, holidays, cars, investments… it was an inside job.
Through a progressive set of sessions, I started to realise I wanted to help others by sharing my experiences in order to help them. By working on myself, finding my purpose and taking action to move closer to the things that make me feel fulfilled and positively impact others, has allowed me to live a life ten times better.
So why work with me?
For several years now, my mental health and wellbeing has become more and more important to me. I have made it my mission to learn more, investing in courses, books, seminars and other coaches.
I am an Internationally accredited Coaching Master and have my Level two Counselling Skills qualification.
As a coach, it is not possible or necessary to be an expert and have all the experience. However, I continually look to grow and develop my skills and knowledge. I am currently studying for level three counselling qualification and studying to become Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner.
More importantly, I have practical experience in my specified area. I felt flat and lost because I needed to search for the solution, not for myself, but for thousands of others, just like me. I want to help unfulfilled professionals in financial services, go through the transformation I did by finding their purpose, take action, and live a more impactful and fulfilled life.
So, if any of this resonates with you, book the free discovery session as it will change your life.
What’s my approach and style?
I work as both a coach and mentor. I facilitate change and make myself available to individuals, groups or businesses who want to positively transform their life or workforce.
My sessions can be carried out in a variety of ways, including online video calls, face-to-face, walk and talk sessions. All my sessions are conducted in a confidential, non-judgemental manner and prove truthful, challenging and empowering. However, they are also engaging, interactive and fun.
As your coach and mentor, I support and empower you to analyse your life and discover what you really want. Through a series of focussed conversations, we will take time to work out who you are and what you really want your life to be like. We will discuss your goals, desires and aspirations in the various areas of your life.
I assist you to develop skills and techniques to instil discipline, create a strong mindset and keep your energy and motivation high. I help you identify and overcome the challenges that have been holding you back, such as fear and self-doubt. I help you create goals that will take you to where you want to be. I don’t tell you what you should do; I enable you to discover the answers for yourself.
By creating positive change, you take responsibility and become accountable for focussing on who you are, what you want, and finding your solutions to create the growth and development to suit you. I help you, help yourself, to succeed and get results!
I will give you the gentle push, shove or kick up the back side when it is required. I will be your motivator in times of self-doubt and your biggest supporter when you find your break throughs.
I help you unlock your ability to create positive, sustainable changes in your life, leading to greater fulfilment and a more impactful life.

What do I expect from you?
To make this process really work for you, you must want to make a change and be willing to actively participate in doing so; Ready to be challenged, dangled right over the edge of your comfort zone and sometimes ejected far from it!
Can you be honest and open with yourself? Prepared to look uncomfortably deep inside you to explore your true dreams, goals and aspirations? Then expand them bigger and more inspiring, making them so attractive, so you must take action to achieve them?
Finally, you must be willing to put yourself first and be selfish, to find the time you need. It will take time and effort to become the person you want to be.
What can you expect from your coaching?
By working with me, you will gain a clear understanding of where you are, where you want to be and how to get there.
I will help you find your true self and gain a deeper understanding of your own mind. You will be able to recognise what holds you back and how to overcome any limitations. You will start to think, feel and act differently, leading to improved focus, increased levels of satisfaction, happiness and increased self-confidence and self-esteem.
By the end of your coaching journey you will feel calmer, walk taller, feel stronger and enjoy you. The feeling of emptiness will have been diluted by a feeling of contentment, knowing what you really want. You will be responsible for taking control and creating the transformation in your life.
Still procrastinating?
If after reading about coaching and the benefits it brings, you are still not sure, that is ok. It isn’t for everyone and I want to work with people who are ready, and only you can decide that.
When you feel the time is right to invest in you and take action to live a more impactful and fulfilling life, you will know and take that first step and book your complimentary discovery session.
