Individual Coaching-Consulting
Understand what’s happening. Question what’s keeping you stuck. Decide what you want to do next.
Individual coaching-consulting offers space to look more closely at your thoughts, beliefs, patterns, relationships, choices, and circumstances.
You may already know what the problem is. You may have thought about it repeatedly. You may even know what you would tell someone else in the same situation.
Knowing and doing, however, are not always the same thing.
Our work focuses on developing greater clarity about what is happening and identifying responses that are more useful, flexible, and aligned with your values.
We might work on:
recurring relationship or behavioral patterns
communication and assertiveness
boundaries
self-worth and confidence
beliefs and expectations
relationship decisions
difficult interpersonal situations
life transitions and changing roles
decision-making
procrastination, avoidance, or feeling stuck
emotional reactions and the beliefs contributing to them
values and priorities
personal responsibility without excessive self-blame
creating and following through on meaningful change
What the work may look like
Depending on what you bring into a session, we may explore questions such as:
What actually happened?
What is the story you’re telling yourself about what happened?
What are you believing, assuming, or expecting?
When this happens, what else does it remind you of?
What belongs to you in this situation, and what belongs to someone else?
What is within your influence?
Are there other ways of interpreting or responding to this?
What action would be consistent with the person you want to be and the values you want to live by?
Sometimes the work is reflective. Sometimes it is practical. Often it is both.
We may examine a belief, practice a conversation, develop a boundary, consider options, work through a decision, identify a recurring pattern, or determine a concrete next step.
Compassion and accountability
I won’t approach you as a problem to be fixed, and I also won’t assume that support requires agreeing with everything you think or do.
Sometimes greater self-compassion is useful.
Sometimes greater accountability is useful.
Quite often, both belong in the conversation.
