Your first step towards clarity: The discovery chat.
Thinking about coaching? A free discovery chat is your first step towards clarity, confidence, and support for what’s next.
When people enquire about working with me, I always suggest booking a free discovery chat first. It’s not a sales pitch, it’s a genuine conversation - a chance for us both to explore whether coaching is the right step for you right now.
Here are 5 reasons why I suggest taking this first step:
1. To explore your aspirations
We’ll dive into your hopes and goals, as well as the uncertainties that may be holding you back. It’s often the first time people have voiced these things out loud.
2. To understand your challenges
We’ll talk about what’s going on in your life now, the challenges you’re facing, and what draws you to coaching in the first place.
3. To name the obstacles
Together, we’ll identify the obvious roadblocks in your path and look at how coaching can help you navigate or overcome them.
4. To get a feel for my coaching style
Coaching is personal - you need to feel comfortable with me and the way I work. This chat gives you a taste of what our sessions might feel like.
5. To make sure you get the right support
If I believe another style of coaching or therapy might suit you better, I’ll say so. The aim is to make sure you get the support you need, even if that isn’t with me.
At its heart, the discovery chat is about connection. It’s an opportunity to pause in the middle of life’s noise, reflect on what really matters to you, and begin shaping what comes next with clarity and confidence - with me there to really listen.

Remember: you don’t need to have everything figured out before you start. You just need the curiosity to take the first step.
I know I am capable of more, but what ‘more’ is that?
My subconscious kept trying to shout at me, so I turned up the volume and listened.
Gut feeling. I’ll work it out as I go. Soul searching. Free fall. Figure it out along the way. What else am I capable of? I know I can do more, but what more is that? I just need a bit of space to think.
Do the words above resonate with you? They were on a merry-go-round in mine for about a year whilst figuring out what I should do next.
Five years ago I changed career. Not that I knew I was going to change my career when I left my job.
Initially I thought my path would continue along the lines of being a PA and Office Manager but pivoting slightly in whom I would work for. However, my subconscious kept trying to shout at me, so I turned up the volume and listened.
What was my subconscious telling me? That I was good at listening. I enjoyed looking after my colleagues. I was good at picking up on changes in people’s moods and behaviour. It was easy for me to make people feel comfortable and relaxed. I was good at giving a different perspective on situations. Tuning into my intuition was part of my everyday life. A shoulder to cry on; I supported colleagues in their lows as well as highs. I knew the intricacies of people’s personalities and why that resulted in strained relationships between some, yet was harmonious between others. And a fun part for me; I noticed the colleagues who had started romances with one another in secret!
Put all of that in a blender and this is what I saw emerging: People centred. Behaviours. Intuition. Gut feeling. Perspective. Sounding board. Listening post. Sympathetic. Supportive. Empathic. Straight talking. Emotional intelligence.
What did I do with that information?
I sat on it.
I thought about it.
I talked about it.
I listened to what friends thought I could do with these skills.
I let myself daydream.
Asked myself ‘but what is your gut telling you?’ and ‘what do you think you would naturally be good at’
and most importantly ‘what don’t you want to do’
And it was that last question that gave me the confidence to embark on a new career.
A Life Coach. This role fits me perfectly, and it’s one I know I am great at.
Changing chapters isn’t easy, but if you feel you are capable of more and don’t want to stay cruising in the same lane forever, I suggest taking the time to listen within to see what emerges.
What words are on your internal merry-go-round? If you are still thinking ‘What else am I capable of?’ ‘I know I can do more, but not sure what that more is’ or ‘if I just had a bit of space to think, I would figure it out..’ then book a free discovery chat with me and let’s work out together why my style of exploratory coaching will help you move out of the slow lane.
