Coaching

When life feels uncertain or complex, coaching helps you move forward and out of stuck.  I specialise in coaching for stress, decisions, and relationships.  When clarity really matters.

Warm, grounded, and practical, my coaching is easy-to-understand, and brings about real change.  With no ongoing commitment, sessions are tailored to suit you, and can be in person, or online.

I studied Psychology at Leeds University with a focus on anxiety and the stress response.

Later on I chose to qualify as a Stress Management and Mindfulness Coach for the Workplace.

I also qualified as a Meditation Teacher with the Open Pathway Training Centre, and hold a Diploma in Coaching from The School of Natural Health Sciences.

That mix means we can come at things from lots of different angles and perspectives.

All helping you to find the clarity you need, simple techniques for making decisions, to get clear with next steps, and then act with confidence.

Coaching for Stress

Some stress is helpful, but too much can impact our mental health, and chronic stress can be life threatening (through associated health conditions).

Learning how to manage stress, without tipping into overwhelm, is a skill for life.  Knowing how and when to prioritise nervous system regulation is something everyone should be taught.

  • Manage stress in the moment
  • Control stress over time
  • Choose healthy habits
  • Make better choices consistently

During a recent crisis in my life, I ended up having to take some time off work. I had hit a wall and Che lifted me up and over it. Che’s sessions helped me map out my thoughts and get to the root of my problems. She was able to clear a path for me to process many issues and I knew what I needed to do. I highly recommend Che’s coaching if you find yourself at a crisis point.

Working with Che has been life changing. I’ve been having life coaching sessions (over Zoom) for several months, which have been immensely helpful in getting me through an incredibly difficult time. She has helped me help myself. Che really takes the time to invest in her clients, she is caring, empathetic, warm, insightful and has a real knack of making you feel comfortable, supporting your journey with zero judgement. I HIGHLY recommend Che for anyone thinking of coaching of any sort

Coaching for Decisions

When we hit choice points, and don’t know which way to turn, or what to do… it can be really helpful to sit with someone impartial, and unwind all the thought loops one by one.

Getting everything out on the table, and then systematically reviewing it, before putting it back in the filing cabinets neater and more organised.

My background training the emergency services, and my 15 years in corporate leadership, mean quick thinking and effective decision making are skills I have, and can teach you.

Tools include:

  • Walking down the different paths

  • Considering it from other perspectives

  • Removing ‘excuses’ and stories rooted in fear

  • Following highest excitement for best possible outcome

I have had some tumultuous times over the past few years. I’ve found Che to be a superb coach and problem solver, always managing to come up with different ways of looking at things and really practical solutions.

This is quite amazing! I knew that I needed help but had not realised how much! This morning I am feeling so calm and have a new wholeness about me – and a weight lifted. Bless you Che.

Relationship Coaching

Relationships can be hard.  And when they are, it can be a game changer to get help.

Outside perspectives, when qualified and truly well meaning, can really enable you to see things differently, and find new ways to view things.

Unattached to the decisions either of you will make, I guide you gently through ‘the conversation’ you need to have.

We reach resolution through:

  • Honest dialogue that feels safe, respectful, and genuinely heard.
  • Separating story from fact, and agreeing what’s what
  • Setting shared goals, and workable solutions.
  • Learning how to work together to remain amicable
The guidance Che is giving us is invaluable.  We have gone from being at each other's throats to being more in love than ever before in a very short amount of time.  Che finds the balance between active listening and coaching, which means we both have our say and feel heard, but we are also actively making changes!

Che is absolutely amazing, highly experienced and highly skilled therapist. Very friendly and caring. She helped us, through the most critical moments of our relationship. After just one initial session both, me and my partner left room completely different people. We felt 200% better when we left then when we came. We both would recommend Che to anyone who need support through the difficult times. Thank you Che.
