Together, we pinpoint problems, set goals, identify helpful tools and strategies, and articulate next steps that bring positive, lasting change.
My role as a coach is to be a keen listener, pose thought-provoking questions, and assist clients in finding clarity. Together, we center our efforts on the present as well as make a plan for action towards what they desire for their future.
Figuring things out:
In the beginning, we engage in meaningful conversations about their life, the challenges they're encountering, and the changes they aspire to make.
Setting goals:
We collaborate to transform their desires into actionable goals, all while keeping an eye on any hurdles or limiting beliefs that may arise.
Building skills & learning new strategies:
Throughout the coaching process, we try out new skills, tools and strategies that help in navigating challenges and reaching goals. We might work on things such as easing anxiety, managing time better, improving interpersonal communication, making decisions, taking action, and building confidence and resilience.
Staying on track:
Through regular check-ins and follow-up sessions, clients receive ongoing support, encouragement and feedback which helps them stay motivated and accountable as they progress towards their objectives.
Reflecting and celebrating:
As it's so important to look back and see how far we've come, we regularly review progress together, celebrate achievements and explore new challenges.
*Please note that as a coach, I do not diagnose mental health conditions. If deeper emotional issues arise during coaching, I may recommend seeking appropriate professional help.
- Boosted confidence, positive self-image, and inner calm
- Improved self-regulation, stress management and resilience
- Enhanced executive functioning (working memory, focus, task initiation, planning, organization, time management, defining & achieving goals, flexibility, observation)
- Improved social-emotional regulation and communication--connecting with people and making friends, as well as dating, preparation for university, employment, etc
- Effective processing and navigation of major life transitions
I support young adults during transitional phases, emphasizing the development of crucial life skills, the cultivation of resilience, and a clear sense of purpose and independence. Together, we navigate challenging transitions, explore learning & career possibilities, and establish healthy habits for overall well-being.
I provide support to teens, helping them harness their full potential socially, emotionally and academically. Through our work together, we delve into how they feel about themselves and others and develop strategies to effectively manage stress and anxiety. We explore executive functioning skills and set up systems that help them with organization and efficiency.
I have extensive professional experience working with children and enjoy supporting 9 to 12 year olds as a coach, empowering them to be their best selves--emotionally, socially and academically.
I enjoy supporting neurodiverse individuals in a number of ways, including enhancing executive functioning skills, promoting social-emotional regulation, nurturing social communication abilities, fostering connections with others, and facilitating the formation of meaningful friendships. In addition, I can help them navigate the challenges of dating, preparing for university, living independently and finding meaningful employment opportunities.
Parenting can be both rewarding and complex. With my extensive experience as a parent, teacher, and coach working with young people, I can assist you in building positive and supportive relationships with your children.
Also, sometimes we as parents find ourselves in need of someone who can listen and offer suggestions for life's challenges. Worries about our children, marital concerns/divorce, burnout or hormonal changes can creep into our lives, making us feel anxious and uncertain. As someone who has navigated these paths, I'm here to lend an empathetic ear, offer support and share insights.
For international parents, I raised my children whilst living and working abroad and understand the unique challenges it can bring. I am happy to share my experiences and offer suggestions for navigating difficult times as well as getting the most from your time in a foreign culture.
I offer free initial consultation sessions to learn how I can support you and/or someone you love.
