Why should I have you as a life coach?

Life coaching has been around for about 12 years now and I was there at the start. When I first wrote Purple Spotted Oranges in 1999 I was aware that life skills were something we should have been taught at school. Instead, many of us have been fortunate enough to learn them just in time. Whether it is how to manage emotions better, critical decision making or simply having a sounding board, a life coach can help. Just like a coach in a sport a life coach with be the support you need to generate changes in your behaviours, assumptions and attitudes that will generate the results you are seeking.

I have my own style and love to make a difference in people's lives. Check out the testimonials to hear what people say about me.

I've never called myself a life coach before as usually I worked as an executive coach for senior clients. As corporate budgets are getting tighter for training and coaching I want to offer a service at a price that individuals can afford themselves. Simply get in touch and let me help you get more from your life.

How does it work?

Whether it is face-to-face or by skype I use my knowledge of psychology, NLP, CBT and many other fields to see how I can help. Sometimes life coaching is a way to "tidy up the garden" before you then plant for the future. Other times you may want to focus on a specific issue and "up-root" it. Through language we are able to influence the ways a person thinks about a situation; what I do is understand (often with educated guesses from years of experience) what will work best for you to reach your goals. It is a very straightforward method that makes a huge difference, and very quickly as well.

What will I have to do?

Within the session we will mainly talk. I will often give you exercises to go away with, for instance, building lists of goals/action points/or outcomes but it will all be at your own pace. Life coaching, after all, is about your life and your dreams.

I have worked with Martin for many years and have experienced at first hand his rare combination of high level integrity, compassion and intellect.
