WHY COACHING?

Coaching provides a judgement-free space for step parents to breathe, gain clarity, explore effective strategies, and develop the perspective and skills to thrive in their role. 

Through coaching, we will empower you to navigate the intricacies of your role with intention, resilience, and deeper understanding, resulting in stronger relationships and a more positive impact on your family while prioritising your needs and well-being.

BY THE END OF OUR WORK:

  • You will have the perspective, tools, and strength you need to feel more confident, comfortable, and purposeful in your role as a step-parent.

  • You will be clear on your needs and know how to articulate them.

  • You will experience a sense of ease in your home, more authentic relationships, and be better equipped to manage the ups and downs of your unique family life.

  • You will transition from asking "How did I end up here?" to confidently declaring "This is where I belong."

  • No, coaches and therapists are qualified to offer very different forms of support. There are certain things that therapists are better suited to helping you with and vice versa.

    Coaching is a goal and action oriented practice, often centred around career, work-life balance or big transitions. It will challenge behaviours and elicit focus, clarity and accountability. Coaches believe that the coachee is resourceful, creative and whole and has the answers they need within them, it’s our job to unlock this wisdom.

    Coaches should be certified/accredited to practise.

    Therapists are licensed and trained to address serious mental challenges. A therapist typically focuses on the present as well as the past, to support the client to find awareness and change behaviours. If you are facing issues around addiction, depression, trauma, mental health or anxiety - therapy could be a good option for you.

  • Just show up. If you have an idea of the change you’d like to see, that’s great but if not, we can work on that together. This is where the magic happens!

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT COACHING

  • My role is to provide you with a safe and trusting environment to explore your current reality and what your next steps might be, whether short or long term. I’ll partner with you to provide the support and challenge necessary to get the results you would like to see. It’s a collaborative process and entirely confidential.

    Before we start we’ll have a complimentary introductory session, where we’ll discuss your goals, intended outcomes and how we would work together. We’ll also decide the cadence and approximate number of sessions we’ll need. As coaching is such a personal service it’s important that you and your coach are a good fit, so this session also gives us the opportunity to feel out whether we’ll be pushing towards the same goal rather than pulling in opposite directions. We’ll spend a good amount of time together over the next few weeks so mutual respect is important.

  • A coaching session begins with getting really clear on the goal of the session. We will use TSC Landscape to help clarify where you are now and where you would like to be and work together to navigate your situation. You will leave each session with new perspective and most likely a few tools or a techniques to help you make immediate change for the better.
