Meet Gemma
I am a qualified Life Coach, accredited by the UK's leading coaching organisation, Coaching and Mentoring International.
After fifteen years of working as a Clinical Psychologist, I realised that although talking can help many people examine their thoughts, feelings and beliefs, many need action in their lives: action to move towards their goals and dreams.
I myself came to coaching through a coach. I had achieved many things in my life but I felt something was missing. I had reacted to the things life had thrown at me rather than created the life I wanted. I had lost my direction in the day to day chores and work routine. I had followed other people's dreams and had forgotten my own.
On my own I tried to find myself but didn't know where to look. Then I came to a Life Coach. Their genuine interest, curiosity and support held me accountable to myself and my dreams and my life has blossomed exponentially.
I want to give you the same opportunity to explore your life as it is now and to follow your dreams. I coach non-directively which means the agenda of each session is yours. I will help you identify the values that are core to your life, rediscover your purpose, set goals and follow your action plan until you get where you want to be. I will not criticize or judge but I may challenge you to help you move forwards.
We all have extraordinary potential and most of us only work at 40% of what we can achieve. Imagine tapping into the other 60%, what could you achieve then, how would that change your life?
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
