Coaching is essentially about helping you get to where you want to be. A coach is in a unique position, because unlike friends and family, they have no agenda. Coaching sessions are dedicated time for you, to explore your thoughts, challenges and goals. They are a fantastic investment in your future.
Coaching is not therapy. It's really important that you reach out to your GP or a qualified counsellor if you need to.
In every coaching session with me you can expect a safe environment to talk freely and be listened to without judgement and in total confidentiality. I will be there to hold you accountable to your actions and provide gentle encouragement throughout the coaching sessions.
I only work with people who are ready to make a positive change in their lives and are ready to embrace the change, no matter how difficult that may be.
I really enjoy career coaching and that is the area that I specialize in. However I am a qualified Life, Business and Executive Coach, Often, even if it is career coaching you come to me for, you will find there may be overlapping areas of your life that have an impact on your career such as family life, caring responsibilities, money issues, self-confidence etc. That’s fine.

It's for people just like you! I've worked with all kinds of people from lots of different backgrounds.

I get it and I'd encourage you to think about this carefully. Is it really money that is stopping you?
Investing in yourself and your future can be scary. But think about this, what will your life will look like in 6 months if you don't invest in yourself now? Fast forward to 3 years time, or another 10. Are you likely to be stuck in the same place? Wishing you had taken action when you had the chance.
The true value of coaching doesn't end when the sessions do. From my experience of working with people just like you I know the benefits last much longer into the months and years that follow.
Deciding to embark on any change requires action. If you're not ready to embrace the change right now, then that's OK too.

There isn’t a straight answer here! A lot depends on what you need out of coaching and how far along the journey you already are. See ‘Work with me’ for a list of my coaching services.
All of my coaching is done virtually, which means that I usually use Zoom or What's App to complete the coaching calls over video or audio. Please don’t worry if you are not great on technology, I will guide you through how it all works!
Once a client has completed a block of coaching sessions its recommended that they book in for a Pivot Power Session some months later. This is a useful way to keep yourself accountable to the changes that you promised to yourself and discuss any further coaching needs to may have.
Book a call with me to discuss the different options available.
I accept online payments via PayPal which makes payments quick and easy! As I am based in Ireland all of my fees are quoted in Euro but through PayPal you can pay in the currency of your choice. I also offer payments directly to my bank account on request. If paying by bank transfer please allow adequate time for the payment to clear. All fees need to be paid in advance of the session starting.
If you book 12 coaching sessions (The Full Pivot) there is an option of an up front payment of €999 (save 10%) or a monthly instalment plan of €183 which spreads the cost over 6 months.

I only work with people that are looking to make positive changes to their careers. I know that through coaching with me, people find the support and accountability they need to move forwards. See my latest testimonials on LinkedIn if you want to see how coaching has worked for my past clients!
However, I can't make this happen for you. The honest truth is coaching will only work for you if you put the hard work in. You need to be fully invested in the coaching process and ready and open for change.
If you are in the right head space to begin coaching you will find that your inner motivation and commitment will carry you forward. What's stopping you?
