Testimonials
“I have really appreciated the time to reflect and think things through with someone else in a confidential safe space. It has been good to know that life situations can be worked through using wisdom and experience gained from the past. Thank you Karen.”
“Such a helpful opportunity to take time out from the busy-ness of life to think what is causing stress & anxiety. Karen was excellent at listening. She encouraged me to speak and explore areas, to look at reasoning behind decisions I make, then to make strategies for the future. Thank you!”
“Speaking to Karen really helped me to feel lifted out of challenging perceptions and circumstances. Her coaching style enabled me to see things from a more objective perspective. Karen helped me to focus on goals and things that I am looking forward to. I found every session really helpful. ”
What is coaching, and why have coaching?
COACHING
Coaching is having a thinking space. The thinking is done in a safe, confidential space, to be challenged, to work towards goals, change or develop. It is done in partnership, it is thought provoking, creative, and in many ways a catalyst to help reach your goals.
WHY HAVE COACHING?
Everything around us works at high speed - it is important to stop once a while to just....think. We often need to stop to take stock of work and life, because there is just so much noise around. Only then can we be clear of what direction we want to take. And it helps if you have someone to listen and ask you good questions! Coaching is all about being asked questions to help your thinking - and you know what - it really works!
