Wellbeing through Reading & Writing
Coach, Mentor, Tutor, Podcaster
Individual and corporate training and workshops. One to one support.
Positive psychology for those who are creating their stories. Bibliotherapy, poetry therapy, writing for wellbeing. Creative story-telling is at the heart of your success.
Positive psychology is the science of how to live well; with meaning and purpose; to move from languishing to thriving. It can develop your psychological flexibility - allowing you to master your emotions and act mindfully. Combined with coaching, you can open up your creativity, develop your strengths and help you live your values.
Some of the ways I can help you
I embrace a range of approaches to get the most out of sessions, exploring unique combinations that are tailored to every individual’s needs.
Do you feel frustrated in your current role?
Do you struggle with communication or wish for more positive relationships?
Would you benefit from more meaning and joy?
Would you feel better for a sense of calm and self-knowledge?
You can achieve emotional maturity and live well.
I combine reading and writing techniques with positive psychology.
Mindful Self-Compassion
The scientific research on self-compassion is expanding at an exponential rate. This 8 week coaching course has so many benefits for motivation, creativity, resilience, improved communication and more caring relationships. For writers, this course is so beneficial in getting those words on the page and reducing anxiety around your work.
Mindfulness
The very popular and well-researched practice of mindfulness has been shown to have so many benefits - people have written whole books or courses on the subject, so I won’t try and summarise here! I can coach mindfulness as a short course or combined with other topics or as a single practice.
Values
Values define who we want to be; they are superior to goals in that an awareness of what is really important to you, allows you to move in that direction and take action towards serving those - no matter how small.
The process of change and development
I use Acceptance Commitment Therapy which, again, is about values and action and building psychological flexibility.
Developing meaningful habits
The habits and routines that we set up are what determine our success day to day. There is absolutely no need for change to be scary, change can be gentle and kind. In fact, you’re far more likely to let it stay if it is the latter.
Listening - it can change your life!
To be truly listened to is an unusual thing. To have a coach who listens to the end of your sentence, without judgement, without suggestion - well, it gives you time to be heard and reflect. You are more brilliant than you think you are.
Hope theory - how to kindle hope and use it to move forwards.
To be able to kindle hope is sometimes what we need in bleak or dark times. It can be done. High hope individuals achieve greater levels of satisfaction and meaning as they journey.
