Transformational coaching

Navigate the complexity of life with more meaning, wisdom, and fulfilment.

Coaching for personal growth and transformation

Do you sense there's something greater waiting for you just beyond the horizon? Are you ready to unlock more of your full potential and discover a more fulfilling life?

Let's embark on a transformative journey together. We'll gently explore the obstacles that may be holding you back, uncovering layers of limiting beliefs and old patterns. As we do this, we'll tap into your innate wisdom, creativity, and resourcefulness, illuminating new pathways for growth and self-discovery.

Unfoldment: go beyond self-improvement

There are two paradigms for transformation: self-improvement and unfoldment.

Self-improvement tells us that we need to change, fix problems, try harder, and become our "best selves" to find happiness. While well-intentioned, this approach often leaves you feeling like you're never quite enough.

Unfoldment starts from the premise that you are already whole and complete. Through self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-love, unhelpful patterns naturally soften and release. This process leads to spontaneous growth and transformation.

Why go on this this journey?

Frequently asked questions

  • I offer a developmental style of coaching that is distinct from what many people think life coaching is about. Here's how:

    Unfoldment, not self-improvement: Coaching is typically based on self-improvement. My approach is based on self-unfoldment, which emphasises presence and innate wholeness as catalysts for spontaneous growth and transformation.

    Inner focus: Life coaching often emphasises goal-setting, action plans, problem-solving, and achieving success in life. My approach focuses on inner work to help you recognise and embody your innate wisdom, resourcefulness, and creativity.

    Cultivating presence instead of trying too hard: Life coaching often relies on willpower, discipline, and external motivation to take action. Unfoldment emphasises deeper contact with yourself and to work with what is arising in the moment.

  • Therapy and coaching can both support personal growth, but their scope and focus differ significantly.

    Therapy is essential if you might be facing a mental health condition (e.g., anxiety or depression), struggle with an addiction, or feel significantly burdened by past experiences. Directly addressing mental health challenges is outside the scope of coaching.

    Coaching can be a great option if your primary goal is to navigate life more effectively, develop emotional intelligence, uncover deeper meaning and purpose, or cultivate happiness. While therapy can also facilitate these goals, coaching specialises in human unfoldment and flourishing.

    In some cases, a combination of therapy and coaching can be beneficial. While coaching isn't a substitute for mental health treatment, it can complement one’s healing journey.
