Coaching

Coaching enables you to make choices so that you have a fulfilling life rather than just being on automatic pilot. It helps people who are stuck and want to move on with their lives but don’t know where to start. It will help you discover exactly what will bring you the most happiness and satisfaction in your life.

 

Coaching is forward focused and promotes changes quickly.  Sometimes as fast as one session but usually up to 10 sessions are needed. Often the client returns weeks or even months later as their life improves and they wish to address other issues as they come up.

The first session starts with intake details and objectives of the client i.e. what they want to achieve and by when. The first session is usually 90 minutes, followed by 60 minute sessions once a week is usual. Like learning to drive - it is better to have a few sessions that are close together to keep up the momentum, then fortnightly until the client is up and running themselves. A final session is advised to give them tools to move forward on their own.

Clients are asked to look at the Wheel of Life - 8 areas of their lives are assessed - a snapshot of their life on that day. This really surprises most clients, as they don't often know where they are in some aspects, especially health.

Clients are given actions between sessions which are emailed to them after each session and which they have agreed to complete before the next appointment. I also send them pep talks, interesting reading material or tips in between. They are urged to email me with positive changes as they arise as this embeds them more strongly in their unconscious and makes them more lasting.

 

NLP Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) - we experience our world through our senses and these experiences are filed away in the brain and body. NLP enables us to look at these experiences in a clearer way and then if we wish to make changes it gives us the tools in which to do so.

 

It works at a conscious and unconscious level by accessing different parts of the brain directly. Changes can be made by clearing blocks from the past and by giving the client a sense of direction and tools to measure and monitor their performance on their way.

 

During my consultations I incorporate many aspects of NLP, coaching, EQ (emotional intelligence), psychometric testing and various forms of psychology. Using all these skills enables my clients to make the changes they want in their lives.

 

I specialise in working with the mind/body connection particularly in health related matters. Very often our body is communicating with us and when we don’t listen to it, the signals get so strong it can make us ill. My work covers depression and anxiety to loss - redundancy, bereavement or divorce to finding the perfect work/life balance.

Testimonials

‘Sue helped me sort out my job and my relationships in less than 5 months. I am now working in a new job in Switzerland and loving every minute.’

JP – lawyer 2004

 

‘In early 2002 I went to see Sue Kennedy and did a course of NLP coaching sessions with her.  I lost my son in a car crash in 1994 and hadn't dealt with the pain and sorrow properly. I found NLP to be incredibly helpful, intelligent and so interesting. With Sue's calm kindness and help I have found a peace that continues to improve. The finish of a bad 5-year relationship and low self esteem all coincided with my treatment. 8 months on and I am now into the happiest and most special relationship with someone and we plan to spend the rest of our lives together - we married in the summer of 2006.’
