Expert Health & Wellbeing Coaching | Helping You Thrive in Life

When I first approached being coached, I felt a bit hesitant. My coach created a very safe environment, where it felt easy to talk. I grew up in an environment where we didn’t really ever discuss “issues” but rather were expected to just get on with it. By the time I started talking with my coach, I had so many things that I wanted to discuss/go through etc, years’ worth of traumatic events/memories/times where I was unable to speak up and then all the current issues these were then impacting. My coach never made me feel judged or like I had too much going on or that I was waffling on about something that happened so long ago.

Instead, he helped me navigate through the numerous piles of things I wanted to discuss. It was a lot, and it was overwhelming, but my coach was patient and understanding. I always try to tackle things head on and could probably talk for hours. So, the coaching helped me slow down and encouraged me to reflect on why I was bringing up a memory or event, how it has impacted me. So instead of just me ranting for an hour a week, I was reflecting on why an event was still holding relevance. My coach would also at times send me some articles that I found interesting and could go through in my own time or come back to if needed in future.

The coaching has left me with genuine life changing skills. He has helped guide me towards being a stronger individual who can put up good healthy boundaries. The skills and lessons I have learned have been beyond beneficial and have helped me in all areas of my life. This in turn has helped me become more confident in myself and my abilities so I cannot thank him enough for that.

My coach was amazing, he never “dominated” a session but rather let me lead most of them and then guided me when I went on a side tangent or started jumping between numerous topics - which I am known to do. He was amazing at getting me to reflect on the session, what I have taken from it and what I have learned so that I may take the information and use it moving forward. His coaching style with me was involved but not taking over, provoking thought and guiding me towards my own conclusions rather than telling me what to do. A kind of help you help yourself approach, which is why now I feel like I actually have the ability to work through situations by myself as my coach encouraged that independent thought process. Offering guidance where needed, he would say something like, what are 3 possible ways in which you could respond to the situation/circumstance, I would lay out my options and then talk through them. 

It was honestly just fantastic and extremely effective because it puts in place steps that I am now able to go through myself.

The coaching encouraged independence and that is what really worked so well for me. It also encouraged a forward focus, acknowledging what has happened, not disregarding it as I had done previously, but then instead of just focusing on the past and the negative, we would then look at where to go from there, how to grow from the situation. Not just stagnant negativity, which was a big fear of mine coming into coaching. The coaching acknowledges the past and negative issues and allows for a deep dive into these; however, it also encourages forward movement, healing and learning.

Working with WiseGoals really helped to build my self-confidence that I could make changes the changes I wanted to my lifestyle. Every session gave me a chance to focus on what was important to me and my progress and I always left feeling empowered, confident and grounded in my ability to achieve my goals whilst celebrating what I had already achieved.

My coach was encouraging and motivating, whilst making sure you remain in control of your journey. He asks all the right questions - the challenging ones to make you think deeply - but in a sensitive and considered way. I’m very grateful WiseGoals and their commitment to guiding me to achieve my dreams.

My coach's caring, attentive, focused, and listening way of being in the moment has enabled me to have fun, laugh, relax, and experience novel sides within me at the same time as discovering sensitive and vulnerable parts of myself. As a human and as a coach he has provided me space to uncover new potentials within me and break through unhelpful patterns.

Coaching has been life transforming for me. It brought out the best in me, restored my confidence and improved my productivity. Being introduced to positive psychology has been healing and life changing for the better.
I gained the ability to self-organise, self-manage, prioritise, (particularly in my work life) and become more compassionate towards myself. The proactive and motivational coaching helped me realize that my ADHD and mental health issues can serve as incentives and assets rather than barriers. I also learned the importance of having a solid routine and structure.

I really enjoyed my coaching journey. It was very professional, and the interesting questions allowed me to unlock my vision of what I really want. My coach helped me to focus on solutions so I could get closer to my goals with each session. He is also a very nice person with a warm and compassionate approach. Highly recommend WiseGoals coaching!

My coach made me feel very safe and comfortable and able to reflect on some deep questions during a time of loss. He gently guided me, over time, to focus on some things that were important to me and the reasons I wanted to pursue them. The coaching was warm, caring and let me explore my feelings. I found him to be an excellent listener and gentle in his way of guiding our sessions. Very grateful.
