Christina is an excellent career and life coach. She is great at listening, understanding, and pushing forward real progress and change. She has helped me progress in my work, social network and lifestyle. She has also created a growth map that she updates regularly and that serves as a framework for gauging my career and personal development. Highly recommended. More...

Over the course of last year I had 4 coaching sessions with Christina (online) and I can honestly say that it’s changed my life. She has supported me and helped me think things through while suffering with stress, resigning from a toxic work environment and researching a career change. I have now found my dream job in a completely new sector and am so excited by how my life has changed. I’ve always come out of sessions with Christina feeling energised and with a clear sense of what I want and next steps. I’ve often gone into the sessions without a clear sense of the problem or issues I want to discuss, but her calm and thoughtful questioning brings out my underlying thoughts and concerns and helps me recognise what I want and what I need to do next. I highly recommend coaching with Christina! More...

My session with Christina was enlightening and actually life changing!
Having previously had an unsuccessful session with a life coach, I found the transformational method goes beyond just the practical solutions and looks to find the root cause of why the problem exists in the first place.
In my case I was trying to force myself in a direction that wasn’t right for me and that epiphany moment was like a huge weight being lifted.
I would definitely recommend Christina, she is a delight to talk to. I will definitely be going back to her to tackle any future issues or uncertainties that arise in my life.

What do you love most about your job?
These are 4 things that I love:
1. It's intellectually satisfying to apply all the theory that I learn about psychology and coaching to real people and their real lives, and see how effective it is
2. It gives me the ability to see the best in people. As a coach I have the best seat in the house to see beyond the 'stuff and baggage' that we all lug around with us. I get to peek into the mind and heart of the person in front of me. And without fail, I like what I find there. Every single session, I feel genuine respect, admiration, warmth and fondness for my clients. Coaches have this special privilege.
3. It is extremely satisfying to see, visibly, the difference that is being made to my clients right there in the session - huge weights lifted and confusion cleared away, and to hear them tell me how differerent they feel. Then hearing about what changed in their lives afterwards and over a period of time is very rewarding. For example one of my clients was just holding on until retirement and wanted my help to get through it. In the end he was able to transform his way of being so much that not only did he change his mind about retirement and instead was taking on more responsibility and actually excited to go to work in the morning, but he was able to relaunch his passion project, he was sleeping better at night and his relationships improved. Although the credit is all his for the changes he made for himself, of course I feel honoured to have a role in facilitating it.
4. As a bonus, very often the transformation that occurs through 1:1 coaching is beneficial not just for the individual client, but for the people around them and the causes they champion. Knowing that I have been part of a ripple effect where my clients are able to go out and make a positive difference in the world is hugely rewarding!
What inspired you to start your own business?
When I started my business I was living in Thailand with my young family. I like the flexibility because I can set my available hours around other priorities - eg my children. I am also very creative and I like the freedom to follow projects that inspire me. Another reason is that I like being able to choose my coaching method. I am very happily trained and assessed to PCC level in the Awareness Accountability Choice method which I find very effective, and I incorporate embodied approaches as appropriate, as well as increasingly using other techniques from Physical Intelligence coaching, which I am also certifed in.
Why should our clients choose you?
It is really important to me that I do my best for you. So I am constantly updating my knowledge of psychology, wellbeing and coaching, and I attend regular coaching CPDs, including observing master coaching demonstrations and taking part in the analysis and discussions afterwards. I also prepare myself and ensure that for the duration of the coaching session I am entirely present. I don't compare your story to anyone else's, or my own experience, or use a list of pre-formed questions. Instead I put my efforts into top-notch listening and observations, in order to form questions that are designed to help you move forward. In fact one of the things that people most often mention is how amazing it feels to be actually, genuinely, completely listened to - it's so rare in normal life! People are also often amazed that these answers that are so transformative come from themselves - and this is a big part of why this method is so transformative and the changes long-lasting. Nobody knows the ins and outs and nuances and intricacies of you and your situation better than you, so the best thing I can do is to coach you to make the powerful insights yourself - and help you to understand how you did it too so that you can do it again in the future.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I provide services online, usually using Zoom. If you live in the Bristol area we can also discuss the possibility of nature walking coaching, agreeing how to ensure our mutual safety and comfort.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I am not currently offering coaching indoors-in-person
1:1 Transformational Career and Life Coaching
1:1 coaching 1 hour session via zoom.
Pay-as-you-go or discounts for blocks of 6 or more sessions.
I offer a lot of flexibility because every client is unique. Some people suit an overall goal that we work towards over a set time period or number of sessions, with action and accountability plans. Other people need more room for things to unfold.
Physical Intelligence Coaching
I am additionally a certified Physical Intelligence Coach and we can incorporate these techniques into the regular session, or have separate Physical Intelligence sessions as preferred.
