For mid-career people who are competent, reasonably successful and quietly certain something needs to change. We work out what, and then what you are actually going to do about it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Coaching is not therapy, and I will tell you when you need the other one.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Coaching works on what you want to do next and what is stopping you acting. It is forward-looking, practical, and time-limited on purpose. It is not treatment for anxiety, depression or trauma — those need a therapist, and if that is what shows up in our conversations I will say so and help you find one rather than quietly coaching around it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t
