I love working with people and being able to give them real world, easy tools to help them get to their highest and best self. It isn't enough to just discuss the problem, we need to work together to create a path and set accountability and to find the right techniques that work for you. Counseling is not one size fits all. I really enjoy helping those to reach their goals and to learn to find greater peace, happiness and love in their lives.
I knew that i always loved working with people, but i didnt know how. I was in the world of IT (information technology) for 20 years and finally i realized that the part of my job i loved most (by then i was a Director), was to help people on my team solve their challenges, work life balances and find harmony in internal strife in the work place. I also had gotten to be 200lbs at one point in my life, after some very negative relationships that had been both verbally and emotionally abusive. I took the weight off and i learned to keep it off and i learned how to recognize unhealthy relationships and to find the strength, self love, confidence and push through the fear to get out of them and be happy. Now it is my truest desire to help as many as i can on their journey. Whether it be through weight management, relationship, health, emotional balance, spiritual healing and more. I believe that everything i went through and survived allowed me to become a better counselor, not only drawing from my training and education, but my own life experiences.
Metaphysical Counseling is different than traditional counseling. We work with our own energy, understanding that we do create the world around us. We learn to become empowered and set intentions to change our situations. I also believe in giving simple and easy to use tools that clients can implement right away to find solutions. It isn't enough just to talk about the challenges, we have to find ways to daily make the changes necessary to get to our best version of self. My methods are drawn from practices that exist since thousands of years. (that is a long trial period!) The techniques and methodology that we will use together will be specifically chosen for you and your own individual needs. Working as a team you will see that you can create the life that you want and you are not alone on your journey! PLEASE NOTE - I offer FREE 15 min consultations if you want to check out metaphysical counseling and see if this will be a good fit for you!
Since the pandemic ALL MY SERVICES are only online. One can choose video chat or phone call. I have used these methods for over 10 years now and i am grateful to have clients all over the world and on almost every continent (look out antarctica - you're next!)
As i mentioned above, all my sessions are done remotely now to keep everyone safe
How much do Life Coaches cost?
Your professional life coach will be able to advise you on the full range of coaching available and will be able to help you select the best one to suit your needs. They will also be able to answer any questions you may have. Use Bark to get free quotes and find a trusted life coach today.
How many sessions with a Life Coach will I need?
You can have as many or as few life coaching sessions as you like. Many life coaches operate over the phone or via the internet so the sessions can easily fit around your schedule. Some people hire a life coach once every few months, some people have a session once a week.
What happens during a Life Coaching session?
Life coaching sessions will typically last up to an hour. Often after an initial assessment, sessions can be conducted over the phone, face to face, over email, via Skype/Zoom and occasionally through instant messaging.
During the session, your life coach will ask you a number of questions, such as what you want to achieve in life, what areas you're unhappy with and where you'd like to see yourself in the future. Although a life coach will work with you, it’s often up to you to challenge or reflect upon certain ideas you have to help you move forward with your life. You will never be forced to make any decisions you don't feel comfortable with and all sessions will be confidential.
What is the difference between Life Coaching and Therapy?
Life coaching is focused on your present and your future. Coaching accepts your current reality and looks to improve your outcome moving forward. Life coaches are not health professionals and they do not diagnose you. By contrast, therapy focuses on your past and looks to delve into past actions and patterns. It is analytical but not action-oriented.
Does insurance pay for a Life Coach?
Most mainstream health insurance providers do not cover the costs of life coaching because it is not considered a mental health profession in the same way therapists and counsellors are.
What should I look for in a Life Coach?
Life coaches do not need to have any formal or academic qualifications but you may want to look for life coaches who possess an industry-specific qualification, such as the Life Coaching Diploma or Personal Performance Diploma (PPD).
You may also want to ask for testimonials of their recent work. You could also look at their profile page on Bark, which shows you reviews from past customers who have used their life coaching services.
What does a Life Coach do for you?
A life coach is a trained professional who aims to help and guide individuals to make, meet and exceed personal and professional goals. They support clients on a journey to rediscover their own strength and abilities. This can include excelling in the workplace, becoming happy and fulfilled at home, exploring your potential, managing health conditions and achieving life ambitions.
By harnessing techniques based on core psychological principles and intuition, life coaches empower clients and provide a toolkit of teachings to confidently face difficult challenges and overcome emotional barriers.
Life coaches can specialise in one of these particular areas of coaching: career coaching, executive business, group coaching, health and wellbeing, performance management, personal development, relationships, retirement, spiritual and youth coaching.
How do I find the right Life Coach?
Rapport is one of the most important parts of life coaching. If you feel uncomfortable with your professional, you are unlikely to gain much from the session. It is advisable to get in contact before you book a session to meet your life coach so you can gauge how comfortable you are in their presence. It is worth talking to a few potential life coaches and ask questions.
Can I get a Life Coach online?
Yes! As long as you have a strong internet connection, then your life coach can deliver sessions via an online video chat platform. Alternatively, it can be done over the phone.
