MY COACHING STORY
I have worked in the Film/TV and creative industries for nearly two decades. I have always loved the fast-paced, creative, team environment, where working with others and managing relationships were key to my role. Despite my passion and enjoyment for filmmaking and the entertainment industry, I realised I was experiencing imbalances in my life, my working practices were not healthy and I was I no longer entirely fulfilled. I discovered coaching and NLP, which lead me to understood my priorities had shifted and I have the ability to change and re-write the rules of my life to match. It was a game changer!
(Please see my blog post about the movie ‘The Holiday’, that was one of my ‘wake-up calls’ - And of course I needed a movie to show me my own story!)
I identified many of my values were not being met and I embarked on a journey of self-discovery.
What are your values? I invite you to ponder on this. I have learnt that if you are not clear on these then it is very hard to live a fulfilled life and be authentically you. I am still a work in progress, but I feel like I am now on my life path and not someone else’s. How about you?
WHY COACHING NOW?
My recent history has seen me recover from back surgery, overcome stress, anxiety & bullying in the workplace, and move past toxic relationships and confidence issues. For all of these challenges I have applied coaching techniques to myself and I know they work.
Supporting others to make changes for themselves has become my new thrill and has allowed me to setup a new business and change my life!
I have been fortunate to travel the world for both work and pleasure, and spend long periods of time in parts of Europe, Asia, Indonesia, North & Central America. During this time I trained as a Yoga Instructor and searched for healing and therapeutic practises, as a compliment to coaching. I continually learn and explore new modalities and most recently became a Hypnosis Practitioner.
I am currently based between London and
Tunbridge Wells in the UK and fully believe that although getting away is great, it is not necessary to transform – we are right here, all of the time, with all the resources we need to create the changes we want in our lives.
