In Solutions Based Forward Focused Coaching I work with clients to clarify their objectives, identify obstacles and create actionable steps forward to break through personal barriers and create meaningful, sustainable lifestyle change. Solutions Focused Coaching is built on a powerful concept: You already have many of the answers you are looking for. Sometimes they are just buried under stress, uncertainty, habits, or the noise of everyday life. Instead of spending a lot of time analyzing problems or dissecting the past, Solutions Focused Coaching focuses on something different. It focuses on where you want to go next.

Solutions Focused Coaching uses the 3 mantras:

1. If it is not broken, don’t fix it!

2. Once you know what works, Do more of it!

3. If it does not work, then don’t do it again! Do something different!

No. Coaching is Not therapy. Therapists are trained to help people process trauma, heal from the past, and work through deep emotional or psychological challenges.

Coaching is also Not mentorship. A mentor is someone who typically gives advice based on their own experience. Instead of giving answers, a coach asks powerful questions that allow clients to discover their own. Because the truth is — your life, your values, your priorities, and your circumstances are unique. The goal of coaching is not to tell clients what to do. The goal is to help clients figure out what is right for them.

There may be times that a coach can share their own personal experiences, if they are relatable and relevant to the clients’ goals.

I am a Certified Alcohol-Free Performance Coach and hold a Diploma in Coaching & Positive Psychology from The Coach Business School, which is triple accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Association for Coaching (AC) and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC), the three leading global coaching bodies.

“Positive psychology is an area of psychology that focuses on well-being, happiness, flow, personal strengths, wisdom, creativity, imagination and characteristics of positive groups and institutions” - Boniwell and Tunariu, 2019

It is not simply focused on increasing individual happiness, but on happiness and flourishing within groups and communities as well. Furthermore, it is not an area of psychology that only focuses on positive emotions and positive thinking; it is much more than that. It is the scientific study of optimal human functioning to discover what makes individuals and communities flourish rather than languish. Positive Psychology focuses on positive experiences at three different time points: The past - focusing on contentment, satisfaction and well-being. The present – focusing on concepts such as flow experiences and happiness and the future – with concepts such as optimism and hope.

Alcohol-Free Performance Coaching is aimed at those who are NOT potentially physically dependent on alcohol. Most people don’t identify as “problem drinkers”—but do fall into what is known as the “Middle Lane”. Over 2 BILLION adults worldwide drink in ways that range from a few glasses a night… to heavier weekend habits. No matter where you fall on that spectrum, changing your relationship with alcohol can create powerful shifts in your physical health, mental clarity, emotional resilience, values, purpose and overall performance. Before any Alcohol -Free Performance Coaching Session begins, I use an alcohol use disorder identification tool (AUDIT) created by the World Health Organization as part of a multistep onboarding process for new clients to determine their current drinking habits and ensure coaching is the right fit.
