Is coaching always appropriate? It's an interesting question isn't it. And when I'm working with someone who is living through a devastating life event, there can sometimes be a very fine line between the desire to be coached and the need for another service such as psychotherapy or counselling.
A life crisis can turn the world as you know it upside down and it's easy to feel that you have lost your will to fight back. It's easy to block out what is happening in reality and hope it goes away.
The best way to describe this is the black hole of despair. When a client is in free fall, it takes a shift in thinking to realise that it is possible to stop the fall to the bottom. It takes a shift in thinking to make the decision to take back control.
I help clients make that shift in thinking, I can be a small glimmer of hope; hope that there is a way forward, and together we plan for a future life that you really want to live.
