Personal Life coaching
Life has a way of throwing obstacles - and opportunities - at us and sometimes it's difficult to tell one from the other. I love helping my clients work through how to hurdle the things that are getting in their way in order to grab the positive future they want.
​
As a Personal Life Coach, I’m aware that people bring their whole selves to my sessions. Although they might contact me with a specific area that needs development or clarity, as a coach my skills allow me to identify if it’s necessary to consider wider elements of their life too. Perhaps their work life, relationships or even their current health.
​
Using Performance Coaching and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) skills, I can help you pinpoint exactly what you want to achieve, and guide and support you as you move towards your goal. As a coach I’m not here to tell you what to do, my skills allow me to listen to you and identify exactly the right approach to help you find the answer you need. Once you’ve identified that, our sessions guide and support you towards your goals. Helping you to achieve the change you’re seeking.
​
My coaching style is relaxed and friendly and no two session plans are the same. I tailor my approach to you and your specific situation. As a personal life coach, I know the importance of treating everyone as an individual.

Utilise A Personal Life Coach
It's often the case that I hear from people who know that they need some type of change to their current way of life but have no idea what. My ‘Life MOT’s’ allow me to use my coaching skills to consider all areas of your life and identify where the improvement opportunities are. I’ve seen people achieve great results from this initial lack of clarity in their life, and it’s always a privilege to help these people build the confidence to achieve the change they’ve identified.
​
In order to achieve maximum success, I like to work with a client in bundles of three sessions. This allows us to break a larger change into small goals so that change can be experienced as soon as possible.

It was such a pleasure to talk to Raelan about my ME/CFS recovery story. Raelan lives in the States, and has also fully recovered from this condition. It was interesting to compare notes! Click here to watch.
Podcast​
​
The Natural Health Care Network has a fascinating podcast channel, regularly featuring stories about people who have helped or healed themselves from a focus on nutrition. I was delighted to talk to Deb about my story. You can find a link to the podcast here.
I was delighted to talk to Naima Ella for her YouTube channel, all about Pacing! She asked some great questions, and we had a really interesting chat. We talk about how important it is to crack pacing, and I provide guidance about the important things to think about in order to get it right!
Naima runs a channel specifically for those tackling Long Covid, but the pacing guidance I give in this video is relevant to anyone struggling with depleted energy levels. Whether that be because of Long Covid, ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, hormone issues, adrenal fatigue...the same approaches help everyone.

Long Covid (7/10/20)
​
It was great to be back on BBC Radio Bristol this morning! This time as part of a feature on Long Covid that continued throughout the show. It's great to see more awareness being achieved and it was a privilege to share advice for anyone who needs it.
why your fatigue symptoms don't matter!!
​
I was delighted to join Liz and Raelan to discuss this important topic. So many people find themselves obsessing about symptoms and what type of fatigue they have (chronic/post-viral/undiagnosed). I've helped scores of people find ways to cope better with their fatigue - and one of the first things that benefits them is to let go of comparing symptoms with others, and start focussing on their own journey.

Luke's inspirational Long Covid recovery
​
Luke came to me in Autumn 2020 to help him tackle his severe Long Covid symptoms. He'd hit rock bottom and knew he needed help. His previous life as an endurance athlete seemed a distant memory and he was so worried he'd never get even a little better, let alone fully recover.
Here we talk to Raelan Agle about his journey and how I helped him. He's such an inspiration - please do have a watch!
Update: June 2022 - Luke continues to do brilliantly, and is back running ultra marathons. Almost unbelievable, but it's completely true.

interview - Long Covid - Pacing guidance (Jan 2021)
​
This 14 minute clip is a recording from the James Hanson Breakfast Show, where they had a theme of Long Covid across the entire three hour broadcast. First, there's a recorded interview with a lady who's struggling with post-covid fatigue, followed by an interview with a doctor from the Discover project, looking into longterm causes of Covid19. I'm then interviewed live on air to give some quick tips on how to tackle pacing, for those who haven't yet realised how important it is.
