In coaching sessions, usually an hour long, we work directly with the situations you are experiencing today. People will come for personal coaching to get breakthroughs on a part of their life that feels stuck, to move to a higher level in their life, or when a long -standing issue requires resolution.Most times these are family, spouse or work-related challenges, or when life becomes too complicated.
I am skilled in untangling those complications so you can see more clearly your best path.Additionally, you may want to bring yourself out of addictive behaviours, increase your confidence levels in certain areas, or lift low moods.To aid these processes I often set appropriate small study tasks to do in between sessions. This keeps alive and deepens the learning gained in each session, building your resilience and capacities over the weeks and months we are working together.
“Phil challenges your thinking and reasoning in a completely non-judgementalway. I know consciously what is limiting me and how to deal with this. He helpsyou to understand that whatever you are reaching for is within you and that you have the power to achieve it. I wish I had this coaching years ago.”

Safety in the space
To meet our personal challenges, we humans need the courage to face ourselves, to face the inner patterns that require change so that we can live out the life of our true selves. This journey must have a safe space, where trust is nurtured, so anything can be aired. it’s the prerequisite for deep change. This is why I am skilled at building a safe environment.
“My faith and trust in you enabled me to be totally honest and open. Your understanding and advice met my expectations fully, I know myself so much better now”

Your uniqueness
Our route through life is connected to our own unique calling, and to live confidently with inner peace we must be in flow with that calling. When you discover and anchor your life around your unique character and competencies, you will be skilled for your very own life’s adventures, including the skill to face whatever challenges life brings you.
“After receiving Phil’s coaching I feel more confident and free about the things I have been working on. Your directness together with your compassion moved me from hope into real success”.

My journey with coaching
My journey with life coaching began with CTI Coach Training Institute twenty-five years ago. I put myself through the full programme of early and advanced courses, which also included the year-long Leadership programme.
Since then, I have immersed myself in my calling to be a coach and facilitator for others by working with John Bradshaw, Deepak Chopra, Patch Adams, Malidoma Some, Subonfu Some, Michael Meade, Jeannie Zandi, Byron Katie, Marianne Williamson, and Edward De Bono.
As well I attend regular retreats and workshops for my own learnings and healings, and continue to work with coaches, teachers and mentors to guide me on my own path.

Personal Story Coaching
Do you wish to tell a story about some aspect of your life? This could be a spoken word story or a written account. It’s a life enhancing experience. And it requires skill and some dedication to make your story into a piece of art.
I have performed various stories of my life many times in front of live audiences. I have also penned a well-received autobiography. These are some of the best things I have done.
