Coaching & Speaking

I love being a teacher, but I know that there are cracks in the system that don’t support every individual.

Change takes time and while schools and universities are always trying to improve, it probably won’t be in time for you. 

I can help to accelerate your personal growth by giving you the individual support and resources you need to get you on the right track.

Coaching

 By leveraging your character strengths, I can help you:

  • High school / University

    → Set learning goals
    → Improve study skills
    → Maximise time management
    → Jump start career pathways
    → Navigate friendship & relationship issues
    → Develop coping strategies to manage stress

  • Early Career

    → Develop leadership skills
    → Improve communication skills
    → Gain clarity and direction over your career path
    → Implement evidence-based interventions to improve wellbeing and engagement at work

  • Self & Relationships

    → Re-frame unhelpful thinking patterns
    → Strengthen relationships
    → Increase energy and overall wellbeing
    → Move forward after a relationship and navigate the dating world

Drawing a map for your future plans

In our appointments we are going to map out what you want for your future. We are going to work out where you are currently at in your high school, university, work or personal journey and put steps in place to help you get to where you want to go.

 

It’s not therapy or counselling

I’m not going to get you to lie on a couch and spill all your problems. I don’t offer therapy or counselling. Nor is my work grounded in positive affirmations like ‘the secret.’ My work is evidenced based and future focused.

Support, encouragement, and guidance

I will listen, I will ask you questions, I will give you new perspectives, I will share some of the latest research and practical tools in Positive Psychology. I will help you to direct your focus and encourage you to come up with your own solutions and help you make an actionable plan.
