Facilitated Coaching

 

Are you looking for a way to bring about positive change for yourself?

You can meet with a trained carer coach over 6 sessions to explore areas of your life where you’d like things to change. A coach will support you while you develop your goal and identify the steps you want to take towards your goal and work with you to create meaningful change.

Coaching is a space that is dedicated to you as an individual to explore your own goals and self-care.

Here are some questions your coach may ask you:

  • This is a space for you to talk about what things you would like to change in your world and talk about what the next steps might be. What is it you would like to talk about today?

  • How do you get time for yourself?

  • What self-care activities would you like to be doing?

  • If you had a magic wand, what would you use it for and what would you change with it?

Do these questions resonate with your situation?

  • "Sarah had a number of large goals that she wanted to achieve, however, she was overwhelmed by them."

    Sarah* was in a period of transition in her caring role. The person she cared for did not require as much support as previously needed. Looking at the number of large goals that Sarah wanted to achieve, however, she was overwhelmed by them. After starting Facilitated Coaching, Sarah and her coach worked together to break down these goals, which helped her to focus on smaller goals that were more achievable. As a result, she was able to make time to go for a walk with her dog each morning, and tend to one garden bed at a time, which previously she could never dream of doing.

  • "Through Richard's Facilitated Coaching sessions, he learned to identify a number of small things that gave him joy in his day-to-day life."

    Through Richard’s Facilitated Coaching sessions, he learned to identify a number of small things that gave him joy in his day-to-day life. He mindfully dedicated time in the morning to meditate, and put time aside in the afternoon to go for a walk around his neighbourhood.
    Richard was able to implement these small actions into their daily routine with support from his coach.
