About Rock Pool Coaching?

I’m Dean Coates, I’m a transformational coach, educator, artist and art dealer. I set up Rock Pool Coaching to offer tailored coaching programmes and individual sessions for individuals working across the creative industries sector who want to make changes. Coaching is a powerful supportive technique to help you navigate the changes you want to make.

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)

How can coaching help you?

Coaching is a process which can help you to make changes in your life. During our sessions my purpose is to work alongside you so together we can uncover and clarify your goals, align your actions with your aspirations and create a safe space for you to explore and discover yourself.

How it works

I work one on one online with individuals in Europe and the States, but also offer in person walk and talk sessions if you live nearby my home in South Bristol, UK.

My availability is flexible, fill in the contact form so we can arrange a 20 minutes fee free chat about your circumstances, if I can help, the process or any other questions you might have.

Once we have decided to move forward we can book you in for your first coaching session I take payment up front. 

Sessions last one hour and can be as often as needed, usually one or two weeks apart seems to work for most people.

Pricing varies according to the number of sessions, get in touch for more details.

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 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. Of course if in doubt fill out my contact form and we can discuss things in more detail.
