Based on the work of psychologist Carl Rogers, person-centered coaching holds at its foundation the understanding that:
· People thrive within a warm, supportive, accepting environment where they trust they will not be judged or criticised.
· The natural human tendency is to strive to self-actualise; to be whole and be the best that we can be.
· People take their whole selves wherever they go and whatever they do, we cannot isolate our ‘work self’ and ‘home self’
· You are your own best expert and therefore best placed to understand your own perceptions and make your own decisions.
Using person-centered coaching theory, techniques, processes, and tools, I partner with you to listen deeply and help you reflect on challenges you may be facing or changes you wish to make. Rogers made the analogy of a plant growing towards the light, and the coach helping to provide the right conditions for optimal growth. In coming alongside you in your journey we find within you fresh clarity, insight and solutions.
