Therapeutic Coaching

Andrew

You know you want to make a change, but you’re unsure where to start.

 

Maybe you keep getting in your own way or reacting more strongly than you’d like. You might say no because it’s the right decision for you, then find yourself second-guessing it. Or you keep putting off a difficult conversation because you’re worried about how it might go.

In one-on-one therapeutic coaching, we explore what’s behind those automatic reactions and how past experiences may have shaped them. If you’re avoiding a conversation, we can work through what makes it hard, get clear about what you want to say, and find a way to bring it up that feels right for you.

I’ll listen closely and ask questions to help you find your own answers. Together, we’ll identify beliefs and behaviours that may be holding you back and find practical ways to change them. I offer advice only when you ask for it. I work with both men and women. My practice also includes men’s work.

Integration Coaching

Before a peak or personally meaningful experience, we can get clear about what you hope to explore, what support you might need, and how you want to approach it. Afterwards, we can make sense of what came up and find practical ways to bring what you’ve learned into everyday life. You can reach out at either stage.

I’m currently seeing clients and will complete my ten-month training in Inside Out Advanced Therapeutic Coaching with Primal Intelligence at the end of November. My study of trauma informs how I work, and we go at a pace that feels manageable for you.
