MORE ABOUT ME

There is a part of me that can adapt, that can succeed and can push myself forward. I hit a point in my life and career however when I felt increasingly furstrated, drained and that I wasn't living as my true self... I fought, I scrambled, I burnt out...

​

I took a break but then went back to the same approach and cycle that drained me and left me depressed, anxious and lost. Convinced that the answer lay outside of myself I bought every self-help book I could, tried a lot of hollistic and alternative therapies, changed industries, changed careers and kept looking externally to help me fix the problems.

​

Still desperate and determined to stop all the pain and suffering in my life I took all the training opportunities I could at work, including a one day intro session to coaching. It tweaked a lot of interest and stuck in the back of my head for some time after. After moving companies I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to go on an 18 month government backed coaching apprenticeship.

​

At the same time I started receiving coaching, and got further coaching during the apprenticeship. Each session kept unearthing things I'd never considered, things I never would have realised and laid bare everything about me and what lead me to my current state. It was like unpacking a lifetime of habits, ways of thinking, perceptions and behaviours that created my reality.

​

This allowed me for the first time in my life to start taking ownership and accountability for my place in the world which was both difficult and empowering. If I created this for myself I can only create and change my stars.

​

I've finally come to realise sheer hard work, pushing against the systems in your life and following someone elses path to what 'success is' will never lead you to a full, rich and joyous life. I've also learnt that as an introvert I've had to find my own way to succeed in a world that unfortunately still favours the extroverted - the loud voices, the confident, the brash and those simply blessed with the gift of the gab.

​

Each and every day I try new things, I fail, I reflect, I change and I try to move forward. I don't always get it right but the more I walk my own path and the more I challenge and change my ways of thinking and approach the more I see results.

​

I passed the Coaching Apprenticeship and have since started coaching others to find their own pain free and joy filled life.
