Your own thoughts and actions will make life easy for you. And I will help you explore and reach these thoughts and actions

Telling you what to do is based on the assumption that I know more than you do and that makes us unequal. I come with the firm belief that we have all the answers within.

How are you different from other coaches ?

It is like asking how one doctor is different from the other, and yet we still like one more than the other. It is a matter of their approach, their connection and the level of deep understanding of the principles, tools and techniques of coaching. My wish for you is, may you find the perfect match who combines holding safe space and nudging you to risk new thought and behaviour patterns. It is often a more intuitive choice. 

How can a coach know what is best for me ?

Only you know what is best for you, it is your life. Please be wary of anyone who tells you otherwise. The coach provides the right environment for you to deep dive into what is it within you that is holding you back from what you know is the best for you. It’s all about you.

Dolveen you are a psychologist , so how is coaching different from therapy ?

In coaching the focus is on the goals you want to set and achieve and how you can do that. It is forward looking. I hold space for you to align your thoughts, feelings and actions to your goal achievement. In therapy, we focus on the healing from the past which may give rise to blocks today

The analysis cannot tell what You Did Last Summer (to quote that movie). The analysis will tell you what your capabilities are in the areas of logic, imagination, leadership, music, language and so on. What you use those capabilities for is up to you.

It does the exact opposite. It removes the labels you may have given or accepted of yourself as you now know the reasons. You will understand the labels you may have been carrying. This provides you with the opportunity to break those labels ( if you chose) using your strength areas 

What if the analysis suggests a career choice that is not in sync with what I as a parent want ?

You are born with a brain and it’s a choice you make to do with it what you chose. Knowing how you are wired gives you clarity of what you need to do to become how you want to be. It gives you the slight shifts you can make in your thinking and actions that will make the most impact in your life, personal and professional.
