Welcome to Rockpool Coaching

How does coaching work?

Transformational coaching explores a persons inner world of beliefs, assumptions, values and expectations in order to create greater possibilities in their life. (Defined by Animas). Coaching is a collaborative, empowering process that supports you in making real, lasting change. If you’re thinking of starting a small business or already have one and are seeking guidance, support, and growth. Book a discovery call to find out we can work together.

What Coaching Isn’t

During my sessions I don’t give advice. In my experience coaching is a much more powerful than giving advice. Let’s face it you probably have enough people in your life who can do that already. Coaching provides you with the tools to be resilient and accountable for lasting change.

Sometimes coaching can unravel complex issues many are suitable for the coaching process but sometimes more therapeutic approaches might be required. If this happens during sessions I would suggest a different route to help you. If in doubt book a discovery call and we can discuss things in more detail.
