What's Personal Coaching all about then ?
Personal Coaching is a one to one service where:
  • the coach uses their skills, knowledge, tools and techniques to help the client make the changes they want to make;
  • the client gains skills, knowledge, tools and techniques that enable them to make the changes they have chosen to make.
The term coaching is important as the client is empowered to make their own changes; the experience helps them find the resources and skills to enable the change.

There are many technologies out there that are used to facilitate change and the toolkit that a coach uses will vary. Different tools and technologies will have differing levels of success so it is important for the client to pick a coach who:
  1. they trust and are comfortable working with;
  2. uses tools and technologies that you are comfortable with.
It is worth investing a little time in understanding the tools that your potential coach uses and meet up with them before you book a session with them.
What can I expect from a personal coaching session ?
A coaching session with Mike is like a quiet chat, where, using the technologies outlined, you work together to identify the areas that you wish to change and the resources, skills and strategies you need to make those changes. One of the assumptions within the field of NLP is that each of us has all the resources, skills and capabilities we need to handle all the situations we experience. The challenge is that sometimes we don't always realise what resources and skills we have and need a little help to identify them.
Coaching can be as simple as suggesting that it is possible to change something that you thought was fixed, or offering a different strategy for doing something. Everyone is unique and Mike will work with you, using whatever tools are appropriate, so that you have the resources to make the changes.
"The important thing for me is that all clients leave with the ability to facilitate and sustain the changes they have chosen to make. Coaching is about getting what you need and going off to live a great life, not being reliant on me and having to come back week on week. Though from a business perspective that would be fabulous and generate a lot of income, it would be in direct conflict with the reasons I got into this field."
Personal Coaching Sessions
Mike encourages all potential clients to book an initial consultation with him. "It's a chance for us to meet, have a chat about what you want to get out of the sessions and for you to ask any questions you may have about coaching. Once you've established that you want us to work together we can arrange a one or two hour session to start and see how things go from there."

Session Cost (per hour) £50
