About Coaching

In the rush of everyday life, there's a constant sense of urgency—always needing to get somewhere, just getting through the day. As a result, we often operate on autopilot.

 

But to do our best thinking, we need to switch off autopilot and create space.

 

As your coach, I will foster an environment where you can be at ease with your own thoughts, tapping into your true potential. I will be your thinking partner, asking incisive questions to shift your perspective and challenge assumptions that might be limiting your growth.

​

You are the expert in your own life. You are creative, resourceful, and capable of incredible things. As your coach, I’m here to:

​

  • Discover, clarify, and align with what you want to achieve

  • Encourage self-discovery

  • Elicit self-generated solutions and strategies

 

Ready to unlock your true potential? Let's embark on this journey together. Book your first coaching session today and start transforming your life.

Curious, but not sure? Book a free 15min chat and let's talk about your goals and how coaching might support them. I can't wait to meet you.

Testimonials

"I had 3 sessions coaching with Alicia and she dealt with each one brilliantly.  I would turn up without an agenda and each of them took a different direction which she expertly navigated offering insightful questions that brought my own valuable insights.  I enjoyed the freedom to take the sessions wherever they would end up, but also the challenge of being prompted to think and question the reality of a situation.  If you've never tried coaching or aren't sure that Alicia can help then I'd definitely recommend trying it and I'd definitely recommend Alicia!"

Got it, thanks. I aim to reply within 2 business days
