Personal Coaching

Do you find yourself worrying a lot? Feeling stressed? Not feeling well? Getting on the end of your tether easily? Feeling anxious? Feeling a sense of resistance within yourself? Being critical of yourself or someone else? Anything else?

And would you like

“Together, we’ll work one-to-one on your personal goals to make your life a little easier”

The coaching has been really important to me. It helped me to open up to parts of myself that I found difficult. I would definitely recommend it to others. It’s a respectful way of exploring the darker parts of oneself with someone else, in an atmosphere that inspires trust and provides space. I think other people could benefit from it too. The coaching was well worth the money!

It’s been an absolute lifesaver! Working with you helped me unblock exactly what had been stuck for so long and which I couldn’t get to before. Thank you so much, Paulus!

Dear Paulus, I’ve been absolutely delighted to have had one-to-one coaching. I’m still reaping the benefits of it every day. That’s not to say it’s always plain sailing, but I know the tools.

Together

Personal coaching is a one-to-one support programme in which we work together towards your personal goals. We do this by exploring your inner attitudes, patterns and connections based on what emerges during the session.

Together, we can carefully explore causes and alternatives.

I will guide you in conducting your own exploration, asking you questions and occasionally offering suggestions. Drawing on my knowledge and experience, I incorporate various elements such as voice dialogue, mindfulness, applied polyvagal theory, systemic work, non-violent communication and trauma-sensitive integration-oriented mindfulness.

I do this in a caring, gentle and calm manner, whilst remaining attentive to your personal qualities and challenges.

My core values as a coach are care, integrity and equality. I aim to provide you with a safe and comfortable environment from which you can explore and experience.

What is the coaching process like?

During an introductory meeting, we’ll discuss your coaching needs together. If it feels right for both of us and we’re confident that we can work together effectively, then we can begin the coaching process.

To start with, we’ll plan for a few sessions. If more are needed, we’ll decide together how many sessions would be appropriate.

We’ll review your progress along the way so we can make adjustments if necessary.

The aim of personal coaching

The aim is to provide you with experiences, insights and opportunities to help you with your coaching needs.

Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît pas. // The heart has its reasons which reason does not know.

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

My turn shall also come: I sense the spreading of a wing.

Attention is the purest and rarest form of generosity.

I was born when all I once feared I could love.

What do you get?

The core principles that guide my work

Feeling safe is the foundation.
Whatever arises within you is welcome here.
Thoughts, feelings and the body are interconnected; one can influence the other.
Experiences in the present are linked to experiences in the recent and distant past (both pleasant and unpleasant).
Our brain is malleable and can learn new patterns.
To gain insight and skills, your own experiences are essential, supported by well-considered education.
