The International Coaching Federation definition states 'The partnering with clients in a thought provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential.' Life Coaching is a recognised and proven method that enables clients to achieve life long dreams and goals. The coaching process can be challenging, yet surprising, revealing and unlocking deep held mindsets and habits, that have stifled clients for years. Establishing this self awareness and self realisation is the key to achieving sustained change in the individual.

There is a profound relationship between our fears and our desires. What we most desire is what we most fear we will not get or lose. Therefore we must walk through our fears to achieve our greatest potential to actualize our desires - Ellen Todd When we encounter fear, and desire change, it can often feel like an internal struggle, making the process seem quite overwhelming. ​ The concern over how others might react or behave can significantly influence our thought process and hinder our ability to make decisions. This often leaves us feeling paralyzed, unable to take action, which can intensify our emotional state and lead to negative emotions. The good news is the fear of making change is worse than the change itself. Sometimes we just need the support to help us through these times and someone to be there through the process. If you do have any fears then please contact JennyB's to talk these through and alleviate any concerns you may have. She is very approachable and understanding of this especially having experience extreme feelings of fear herself. Please do contact JennyB and have the guidance, support and encouragement you need at this time.

NLP stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming and was developed in the 1970's at the university of California. Its primary founders are John Grinder, a linguistic and Richard Bandler, an information scientist and mathematician. The Good Therapy's definition of NLP is 'A psychological approach that involves analysing strategies used by successful individuals and applying them to reach a personal goal. It relates thoughts, language and patterns of behaviour learned through experience to specific outcomes.' An NLP Master Practitioner will be professionally certified in the skills and techniques of NLP at Practitioner and Master Practitioner level. They will be assessed on their mastery of NLP as a skillset. An NLP Master Practitioner will be rewarded for the extra study time and practical time spent applying the skills with others by developing a deep understanding of the subject, techniques and how the different techniques interact with each other to produce their results. NLP Master Practitioners will generally have more options available in terms of solutions for their clients and techniques that they can use. NLP Master Practitioners will be skilled to mix and match NLP techniques for unique and bespoke solutions for their clients. Wikipedia states 'NLP asserts that there is a connection between neurological processes (Neuro), language (Linguistic) and acquired behavioural patterns (Programming) and that these can be changed to achieve specific goals in life.'

Good question. If you look at successful tennis players who are at the top of their game, how often do you see them looking to their coach during a game? For a tennis player to be that good, you would question why they need a coach? What a coach sees in their client, is so much more than the client ever sees themselves. An outstanding coach provides perspective, experience, support and strategies to their clients, to enable them to maximise their potential to succeed in all aspects of their life.
