I am an empathic person, good at rapport building, strong listener, motivational interviewing and encouraging accountability.

I am applying for the life coaching for students role. I have worked with children and young people as well as adults as part of my role as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist over the past 13 years which I believe would give me some great transferrable skills. I understand the pressures which come at this age both in studying and in personal life experiences or through mental health challenges. I encourage individuals to work towards goals and engage with homework tasks, knowing this is integral to progress and success. I come alongside and work collaboratively to troubleshoot any barriers to overcome and reach these goals. I look at any self-limiting beliefs or core beliefs that cause doubt/ fear. I help clients address stress and worry management, raise confidence and build self-esteem which may be blockers to progress as well as working on areas such as perfectionism and procrastination which may be stunting growth personally and professionally. I can also help clients address any social anxiety involving concerns about presentations or attending interviews.
