Shadow Work Coaching can allow a profound shift in attitude, behaviour and emotional
well-being. Client choice and consent is of the highest priority.
We believe Shadow Work Coaching is successful for three reasons:
1. A Safe Environment: Although it can be an intense experience, Shadow Work Coaching
provides you with an environment free from shame, blame and judgment. We want you
to feel comfortable and safe to explore whatever you choose.
2. Risk Assessment: Change in our lives inevitably has consequences and therefore risks attached. Identifying and exploring these risks in a safe environment greatly increases your ability to make effective change. This allows you to choose the risks you are willing to take in order to get what you want and how far in any given session you want to push yourself.
3. Core Patterns:Together we aim to uncover the core psychological and behavioural patterns that underlie your issues. Once you see and shift a core pattern, it usually shifts other secondary patterns at the same time.
How it works:
Working with either an individual or a couple, we begin by looking at what you want to have happen, what change you want to make relative to the issue you bring to the session. We will finish the session with strategies for how to integrate what you’ve learned into your life. Between these two stages lies a path of deep inquiry and exploration which can, at times, be quite emotional.
We find that Shadow Work Coaching offers such a degree of safety that people can work on issues that would be too difficult or embarrassing to address in a group setting. They can also work at their own pace.
What is the difference between Shadow Work Coaching and Life Coaching Life Coaching tends to be solution focused and forward looking, helping you set goals and keeping you motivated to reach them. Successful Life Coaching uses motivational techniques and the power of positive thought to help you achieve your goal. Life Coaching does not explore why your goals have been so challenging to achieve to date. Sometimes simply endeavoring to ‘try harder and be more positive’ does not do the job! Shadow Work Coaching not only focuses on your goal but also on the factors that have been contributing to the difficulty of achieving that goal. Looking at the issues surrounding the goal or the problem allows us to work with the source of the issue rather than just working hard on simply changing the symptoms. You can choose to direct your work towards your professional goals, or you can focus on personal issues. We think the either path will greatly enhance your self-awareness, your personal satisfaction and your sense of well-being. A first step... Phone or email for initial no obligation discussion.
We offer coaching for individuals and couples. Led by the needs of our clients, we can employ a wide range of skills and techniques in our coaching sessions. Many of these techniques are specific to Shadow Work Coaching.
