About Coaching

Coaching involves developing competencies in a person to increase their ability to bring about change or manage situations. It’s a confidential, non-judging relationship based on mutual respect, where the coach helps the coachee see the situation in a new way to unlock new possibilities.

My coaching incorporates a skills-based methodology called integral coaching® to encourage long-term change in people, supporting them to be more effective, efficient and fulfilled in what they do. Coaching differs from mentoring, counselling and consulting in the following ways:

Mentoring – involves an expert or wise elder in the organisation or in the field of the coachee (coaching skills are sometimes used by mentors)
Counselling – focuses on exploring, understanding, and sometimes solving problems based on past history
Consulting – is led by experts in their field, is solutions-based, and focuses on specific work issues or problems rather than the person

Integral Coaching®

Working with an integral coach® means working towards long-term, sustained shifts in behaviour, rather than just focusing on short-term goals. Integral coaching® is based on adult educational development, which recognises multiple underpinning narratives including, psychological, philosophical, theological and neuroscientific thinking. It places balanced weight on cognitive intelligence, emotional intelligence and, unlike some coaching frameworks, recognises somatic intelligence.

Somatic intelligence focuses on the body’s own response to situations and supports, for instance, the ability to regulate your physical response to situations and avoid reactive behaviours. Somatic coaching is increasingly recognised as an effective type of coaching practice. Integral coaching® promotes self-reliance and supports the ability of the coachee to self-correct, using the skills they acquire through integral coaching® practice.
