Personal Coaching

I work with people to identify and overcome challenges which prevent them from living life fully, working productively, and relating to others harmoniously, joyfully and effectively.

Together we gain insight into what’s getting in the way, and work towards bringing about shifts in one’s relationship with self, others, and work.

The insights emerging from our work may be about ways of thinking, feeling or behaviour- ways of being in the world, with oneself and others, and how one sees the world.

About Coaching

Coaching can be used to bring a shift to a chosen aspect of life, work, relationships, communication, or an approach to something important in one’s life.

Some coaching clients want to change something troubling about professional or personal relationship, and others want to move purposefully towards a specific goal.

How We Work

My first ethical and professional responsibility is to create with you an environment in which you feel free to express yourself fully.

We co-create this space by a clear understanding of confidentiality expectations, professional boundaries, what it is you want to change, if I am suited to work with you on that, and what you find gets in the way of what you’re looking for from the work.

You will gain deeper insight into yourself and your challenges, opening up positive potential to change.

In an initial, obligation-free session, we discuss your desired outcomes from our work, how long and often we work together, and other details that support reaching the outcome you are aiming for.

I use a relational coaching approach, combined with the psychological philosophies, theories, and models of transactional analysis and Gestalt.

I work on the premise that sustainable changes come after a shift in a person’s beliefs about themselves, others, the world and how it works. This shift is what we aim for and create together as part of the coaching work, and what will lead to the meaningful change you want to experience in your life.

We partner in designing strategy and specific, practical actions to take to reach your stated outcomes.

Cost

I approach my coaching fees with the philosophy of “co-creating the agreement”. Because of this the coaching fees I charge differ between regions and based on people’s circumstances.

Client Experiences

To learn more about my approach, read my client experiences below.

Alex came highly recommended as an empathetic coach, which he was! I contracted a few sessions to sort through some growing concerns that needed to be addressed. His ability to actively listen, understand the underpinning issues of both my personal and professional life were exemplary. He heard what was unspoken and brought it to my awareness through powerful questions and direct communication. This opened up the space for me to explore options to resolve my concerns. I benefited from his gentle nudges that helped me commit to new approaches to overcome old and tried methods that were ineffective. He clearly demonstrated a professional code of ethics and conduct. I find him generous in sharing his knowledge to create a lasting change.

Alex has great skill in listening deeply and hearing underlying beliefs. His passion for the appreciative approach gently invites his clients to connect with their best selves. His insightful questions make him a powerful coach. He is deeply self-reflective which positively impacts all of his work.

Thank you for the manner in which you have facilitated our sessions. It was both professional and productive. Although my initial expectations of the coaching were somewhat obscured you remained committed and respectful. I have learnt many lessons about myself and feel I have gained the ability to navigate my way through challenging situations or circumstances. The models you shared will be of great value to me for many years to come. I would highly recommend your coaching service to anyone willing to make positive and rewarding life changes.

Alex is a meticulous, insightful coach. He challenges thinking while being supportive and highly considerate of the process. He is trustworthy and provides a safe place in which one can explore one's potential.

Gestalt 2-chair coaching. "I went into this completely unprepared for what was about to transpire. Alex explained the process very well and prodded me with subtle questions and gave me clear guidance. I broke down twice during the session, which is not a common thing for me, especially in company of another male, but he handled the situation beautifully. I had several epiphanies during the session and one big revelation. Over the following days I had further mind shifts and felt the release of years of built-up anger and resentment for someone else that was not even part of this conflict resolution. This was very powerful, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has any unresolved conflict with anyone."
