Coaching

How Can I Help You?

Coaching is an exciting voyage of self-discovery which will bring you the following benefits:

• a better understanding of yourself
• greater clarity about what you want out of life
• how to take control of your life when those around you have different ideas for you!
• tools to control your emotional state
• practical strategies for dealing with time management
• how to communicate better with those around you
• an ability to ask for what you want without feeling guilty

Common issues such as lack of self-confidence or low self-esteem are dealt with using cutting edge psychological theory and practices.

Hypnotherapy and NLP (neuro linguistic programming) prove to be useful tools both for these issues and for other deep-rooted anxieties such as phobias and issues around smoking.

Take a look at how coaching has helped my clients..

Damon Theobald: Smoking Cessation

I am writing this letter to thank you for the inspiration, support and motivation your recent coaching sessions have given me.

As the owner of a small business with a busy schedule, it is so easy to burn out and become ineffective.  I felt the need to get myself back in tip top condition to be able to focus on my business and get through these difficult times.  Your sessions have done just that and more. I feel relaxed and in control of my destiny and able to achieve both my personal and professional goals.   I am very pleased to recommend you to friends and colleagues who will benefit from your calm and professional approach in helping them to achieve their own particular goals.

Inspirational…

Before I saw Lis, I would have described myself as confident, level headed, outgoing, organised and I had a full life. I went to Lis for help getting over a break up, but I got so much more. I am back to my happy, positive self – but areas that I didn’t think needed addressing got covered.

Lis invites you to apply logic to day to day situations you find yourself in, work out what’s missing from the ideal, from that – work out what you want to achieve, you’ll realise that those things are manageable and with some of Lis’ simple tricks you can really stick to attaining each of them. You really can do anything.
Lis said : “You know, ‘to inspire’ is literally to take a breath. Isn’t that brilliant? You can get inspired everytime you breath!”

I have never met any other person that can leave you so relaxed, focussed, excited and … inspired. And I cannot thank her enough.

Empowering Experience

What can I say about Lis? Lis is wonderful to work with because she recognises and respects the individual and their life experiences. Many people speak of empowering others, many remark on how important it is to be who you truly are, yet rarely do they mean it.

However, that is not the case with Lis. Her ability to empower is remarkable and I am very pleased to have taken the opportunity to work through my confusions with her.   One thing that I appreciated was that I could laugh and really be myself. I would realise something about an event or my behaviour and just find myself laughing. To be able to look at something that has seriously been hampering my life and just laugh is liberating.

Liberating is how I would describe time spent with Lis. You cannot be certain of what you will unearth but you can be sure that whatever it is Lis will help you polish it into a real gem, a true facet of who you are. With Lis’s support and encouragement I was able to shift my perspective and really get myself back on track. Ambitions have ceased to be ‘pie-in-the-sky’, I am no longer walking in circles and I am back in touch with my life. TB, Berkshire

Spider Phobia..

I approached Lis a few weeks ago because of my spider phobia, following an informal chat Lis realised that spiders were not really the problem. The real problem was a lack of self-confidence and following our first meeting I was literally bouncing (a bit like Tigger!), full of confidence and eager to put into practice what we had discussed. Lis encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone and re-assess the way I feel about myself. This has been a real wake-up call for me and where I used to really dread public speaking and cold calling, Lis has helped me overcome this and now I’m really looking forward to my next challenge, speaking on stage to a room of BNI directors at the next conference in Amsterdam in April. Thank you so much Lis.

Rebuilding my life

Eighteen months ago I suffered a severe stroke and rehabilitation has been slow and difficult, both physically and emotionally.  Lis quickly identified my needs and then set about guiding me.  Lis is full of empathy and is very positive in her reasoning.  Whatever my problems, she always helps me to set clear, meaningful goals and by the end of each session I am full of enthusiasm and optimism, and ready to meet the challenges which we have identified together. Lis has become a true friend and valuable guide in my attempt to re-build my life in very traumatic circumstances, and my progress is largely due to her skills and character.
