A series of experiential conversations which will lead to an increased understanding of your behavioural patterns. This increased awareness makes you more equipped to evaluate these patterns and adjust your day-to-day decision making to more consciously move towards living a life that is more meaningful to you.

This depends on the skillset of the specific life coach you have in mind. For instance, someone who is also trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy would be competent in addressing anxiety issues.

ACT is a behavioural intervention, it's about doing. It’s not just talking about your problems and feelings. It gets its name from one of its core messages: accept and make room for what is out of your personal control and commit to action that improves and builds vitality in your life.

ACT is an evidence-based form of CBT which is backed up by science and is getting more and more momentum within the NHS. Since the beginning of 2023, there have been over 1000 randomised controlled trials on ACT or its components, evidencing it’s effectiveness in various settings.

The emphasis of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy lies very much on living in the present but this is very much connected to building the future. The ability to live in the present is important because it very much affects your ability to make plans for the future and commit to actions today that build that very same future. For instance, changing your habits starts off with becoming more self-aware of the cues – triggers – that put the habit in motion. Once you become more self-aware you can more mindfully interrupt the cue. Bringing the unhelpful subconscious behaviours more to the surface, so you’re conscious of them and can find alternative responses to them.

Russ Harris' YouTube channel has loads of information. If that catches your interest, watch more of his videos or you can have a look at this website which provides more free resources.

My availability can be seen up to one month in advance. Have a look at the 1-to-1 coaching page and scroll all the way down to look at my availability for online sessions.

I currently charge £60 per session. A session lasts a full hour. These prices do come down if you book coaching packages of 3 or 6. More details can be found under here.

Typically, I would advise my clients to initially book for one session so you can see for yourself if you're getting the value you are looking for. You can decide after the first session if you want to continue and book one more session or book a coaching package instead.

Online sessions can be safely and securely booked via the booking section below, either using debit/credit card or PayPal. If you're interested in face-to-face sessions please contact me directly.

Motivation is a feeling, inherently fleeting and uncontrollable in nature. This implies it comes and it goes. That’s why it’s better to focus on committing to a behaviour and the underlying values rather than relying on your feelings. Because feelings, they come and go.

If you want to create a new habit, find something you genuinely care about and start making tiny little steps towards it. Set yourself a realistic commitment for the next 3 days. After this period, review and evaluate. What worked? What stopped me from doing it? There are many aspects that are important but the most important one is a raised awareness. Awareness of antecendents, triggers, and reinforcing consequences (e.g. the habit loop).

Being aware of your bad habit, is the easy part. The difficult part is to replace this unhelpful behaviour with an alternative that is more value-congruent for you in the long-run. So you might not completely eradicate the urges and needs when you're put under pressure, but you can learn to respond differently to what difficult situations arise you for. If you're interested in this, please do get in touch.
