Absolutely, it’s completely normal to feel hesitant about exploring something new, especially if it seems unfamiliar or unconventional. Our brains are wired to prioritise safety, often interpreting new experiences as potential threats. This natural instinct served our ancestors well in dangerous environments, but in today’s world, it can sometimes hold us back from trying new things that could be beneficial.
Consider this: amidst the initial scepticism, did anything resonate with you here? Perhaps there was a description or a sentiment that struck a chord, suggesting a potential for positive change in your life.
Exploring new possibilities is not about abandoning caution altogether, but rather about gently challenging our comfort zones and opening ourselves to growth. Sometimes, taking a step beyond what feels safe can lead to remarkable personal discoveries and transformations.
If you feel intrigued or curious about what you’ve read, perhaps it’s worth connecting with me to explore further. Together, we can navigate this journey and determine if now is the right time to embrace something new in your life.

While my background as a GP informs my holistic approach to well-being, life coaching focuses on personal growth, mindset shifts, and achieving your goals.

Research shows that life coaching really works! It helps people achieve their goals, feel more satisfied with their lives, reduce stress, and boost self-confidence. Studies have found that coaching improves mental well-being, resilience, and even workplace performance.

No, life coaching is not therapy. While both aim to help individuals improve their lives, they do so in different ways. Therapy often focuses on healing past traumas and resolving psychological issues. Life coaching is future-focused, helping you set and achieve personal and professional goals. There can be some overlap in techniques, such as using active listening and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) techniques, but life coaching primarily helps you unlock your potential and find practical ways to move forward.

I adhere to strict ethical standards to ensure that all information shared during our sessions remains confidential and secure. Your privacy is respected at all times, and I maintain confidentiality unless required by law or if there is a concern for your safety or the safety of others.
