What
is Life Coaching?
Having a life coach is like having a personal trainer for every aspect of
your life. Someone to guide, encourage and support you as you first identify,
then move towards achieving, the life of your dreams.
What
are the main benefits of life coaching?
Life coaching is one of the fastest growing industries of the twenty-first
century as it provides the perfect antidote to the stresses of modern life.
A coach will help you to regain control of your life and your sense of identity
and achieve a better work life balance. Through the setting of agreed goals
they will also help you to realise your dreams.
How
does Finding the Plot differ from other forms of life coaching?
Finding the Plot uses all of the traditional coaching techniques,
however it also features writing as a key tool in the transformation of a
client’s life by drawing upon its power in identifying and manifesting
dreams as well as helping to overcome fear and negativity. I pride myself
on my ability to get right to the heart of a client’s needs and wishes
in a caring and sympathetic manner. I also offer tailor-made guidance and
support designed to inject a spark of magic and possibility into the client’s
life.
Do
I need to be a professional writer to have Finding the Plot coaching then?
No, not at all. As long as you can physically write, you can take part in
Finding the Plot. Many clients have found it has
opened up a whole new world and they discover writing talents they didn’t
know they had. But essentially you will only ever be writing about yourself
and your life and will never be expected to write a fictional masterpiece!
How
often should I have Finding the Plot Life Coaching sessions and how many will
I need?
Most clients have weekly or fortnightly, hour long telephone sessions. These
can be booked on an individual basis but it is recommended you have at least
four to make lasting and significant change. With Finding the Plot
I aim to provide you with a selection of tools and techniques you can then
go away and use on your own. You should never become dependent upon coaching;
it is an extremely empowering technique designed to make you more self sufficient.
What
is the difference between life coaching and counselling?
Life coaching is for people who are ready to move forward with their lives.
Although it will look at how issues from the past could be blocking your path
to success it will not dwell too heavily upon these. A good life coach will
always recommend counselling if a client has serious issues from their past
that need resolving.
Is there any way I could have a coaching taster
before committing to booking any sessions?
I offer all life coaching clients a FREE 30 minute taster
telephone session in which we look at your current situation and start to
identify where you would like to be – a bit like programming a sat nav!
This gives me a chance to get to know you and you a chance to experience coaching
at no cost.

taster session.
If
I like the taster session what can I expect from my first full coaching session?
As soon as you sign up for a Finding the Plot life
coaching session you will be sent a welcome pack which includes a questionnaire
about your current situation. This gives me a better understanding of you
and your needs and should be completed and returned to me prior to the first
session in order to save time. During your first coaching session we will
begin work on identifying your strengths and also any obstacles (internal
and external) currently blocking your path. Towards the end of the session
we will agree on several tasks for you to complete before your next coaching
session. These will be your first steps towards achieving your life goals.
How
do I pay for my coaching sessions?
Payment should be made by cheque a week prior to each session. Alternatively
you can take advantage of the special discount available on a block booking
