Calm, Energy and Resilience Coaching

For People Looking To Increase Their Sense Of Calm, Manage Their Energy And Increase Their Resilience To Meet Life's Challenges. 


For passionate achievers who are feeling stressed out, in pain and disconnected from themselves and what’s important to them. 
We help you grow beyond being driven by worry or perfectionism, and instead clarify your inner wisdom so you have the grace, confidence and creativity to excel at work whilst staying connected with yourself and what you love.

Getting things done without losing one’s self in the process:
• Building your capacity to create space for your body-mind to process and move through stress responses rather than getting stuck, going into pain, overdrive or overwhelm.
• Having intention and discipline whilst staying present to yourself and the world. Expanding your embodied presence and wisdom more fully into your life, so you’re not always in an effortful ‘war’ with your mind.
• Building clarity and connection to your spiritual resource. Building an enduring embodied experience of that resource as present, here, now. 

Finding a sustainable rhythm to do what matters:
• Finding new, life enhancing ways of using your passion in a way that’s fulfilling and meaningful.
• Building your capacity for any increased ‘vigilance’ or ‘guilt’ that can occur when bending or disobeying your mind’s perfectionist rules.
• Developing a sustainable and flexible action plan. Handling setbacks, building self trust and acceptance when things ‘go wrong’ in an imperfect world. 

Decision-making:
• Getting clarity on what is most important to you and being able to prioritise when there is seeming conflict between what matters.
•Developing a flexible response to your mind’s perfectionism: acting on it when it serves you, but not when it doesn’t.

Coaching using the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) model
A process of exploring what it means to you to live in a satisfying and meaningful way in all areas of life.  Developing skills and ways of taking effective action towards that valued life, by responding mindfully and skilfully to all your thoughts, emotions, sensations – even the unwelcome ones! To have resilience in the face of life’s challenges. So you can stay connected with yourself, what you love, and live with compassion towards yourself and others.

Put simply the goal is to help you build the skills to move towards creating a rich, full and meaningful life, while accepting the pain that inevitably goes along with being human. We cannot live fully without some uncomfortable thoughts, feelings or sensations. But we can learn the skills to respond in a way that minimises our suffering, and allows us to take action towards living a life we deeply value.

Technically speaking the goal of ACT processes is to increase ‘psychological flexibility.’
Psychological flexibility has two components:
1) The ability to be psychologically present – i.e. aware, attentive, open to, and engaged in your experience and connected to the world. Including making space for unwanted thoughts, feelings or sensations when they arise.
2) The ability to behave and take action towards living a valued life which deeply matters to you. Even in the presence of unhelpful thoughts, feelings or sensations.
