Life Coaching
Actionable strategies to achieve your personal and professional goals
What is Life Coaching?
Life Coaching is a forward-focused, goal-oriented approach that helps you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. Unlike traditional therapy that may focus on healing past wounds, Life Coaching concentrates on creating actionable strategies for achieving specific personal and professional objectives.
This dynamic process involves identifying your core values, clarifying your vision, overcoming obstacles, and developing concrete plans to move toward your desired future. Life Coaching empowers you to tap into your potential, increase self-awareness, and make meaningful changes that align with your authentic self and deepest aspirations.
Why Life Coaching is Used
Life Coaching is particularly valuable when you're seeking structured support to achieve specific goals, navigate transitions, or enhance your overall quality of life. It provides accountability, perspective, and practical tools that accelerate your progress and help you overcome barriers to success.
Helen completed her Life Coaching diploma in 2012, adding this goal-oriented approach to her extensive therapeutic toolkit. With over 30 years of experience across multiple modalities, she brings a unique blend of coaching techniques and psychological insights to help you create tangible results and lasting change.

What to Expect from Life Coaching
Life Coaching with Helen is a collaborative, structured process designed to help you achieve specific outcomes. Each session builds on previous progress and keeps you moving toward your defined goals.
During your sessions, you can expect:
- Clarification of your core values and vision for the future
- Development of specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals
- Exploration of potential obstacles and limiting beliefs
- Creation of concrete action plans with accountable deadlines
- Regular review of progress and adjustment of strategies as needed
- Celebration of achievements and insights gained along the way
Between sessions, you'll typically work on agreed-upon action steps that move you closer to your goals. These "homework" assignments are a crucial part of the coaching process, as they help you implement new behaviors, test strategies, and build momentum.
Helen's extensive background in various therapeutic approaches allows her to bring additional depth to the coaching relationship, addressing underlying patterns or beliefs that may be hindering your progress. This integrated approach helps create not just external changes but also the internal shifts necessary for sustainable success.
