Philosophy:
Through my coaching I aim to help you identify your creative desires and dreams and to discover your potential - first recognizing it, then finding your own route to fulfillment.
The approach I use is ‘creative enquiry’ - a mixture of coaching questions alongside creative exercises designed to guide and inspire you in your own process towards a creatively rich and fulfilling life.
I start from the position that everyone has something to offer. They need to feel valued, with their abilities recognized and nurtured, by them as well as by others. I consider a creative and imaginative life to be fundamental to well-being in all senses.
I encourage the clients I work with to value and respect other people and their environment and to behave responsibly and with integrity towards both.
