HOW DOES COACHING WORK?
Coaching is for anybody looking for a change. If you want something to be different from how it is now, that’s what coaching achieves. It can relate to any part of your life. Your career. Your relationships. Your travel plans. Your education. What’s working and not working in your life? Where do you need to make the changes to live a happy and impactful life?
Coaching aims to help clients identify and achieve personal and professional goals. For me, coaching is a result-orientated holistic process. Cutting the jargon means I emphasise the importance of achieving a true balance between the different facets of life, at work and play, and that I believe in making achievable plans!
I will work with you (during regularly scheduled sessions) to support you identify your values and goals, encourage you to take action, and help you achieve success.
It's a one-on-one relationship, and it's confidential and takes place over a series of meetings.
Whether you want help achieving a specific goal, finding a career direction, or addressing your life in a universal sense, I can help you. I am trained to listen, observe, and customise my approach to your unique situation. I will ask you insightful and challenging questions that will help you put your priorities into perspective and see your life in a fresh light. I will offer you a toolbox of activities and knowledge to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and support you to embed and sustain change.
What are your strengths – the characteristics that help you to live a flourishing life? How do we enhance these?
profoundly believe that each of my clients is naturally creative and resourceful. Consequently, I will work in partnership with you to elicit the right solutions and strategies for your individual needs.
There are many benefits associated with professional coaching, including:
increased self-awareness and self-discovery
more balanced life
setting and achieving better goals
lower stress levels
increased productivity
better relationships
fresh perspectives
better decision making.
I am a straight talker, and what you see is what you get. My non-judgmental and empathetic approach, my no-nonsense pragmatism, my deep respect for you as my client, and my sense of humour all combine to make me a relaxed and committed practitioner.
As a professional coach, I work in both the personal and commercial realms. My clients range widely, from individuals or couples seeking change in their personal lives to businesses of all sizes, from small companies to large corporations.

Annalise is an amazing coach – down-to-earth and great fun to work with! I saw Annalise during a very confusing time in my life and was surprised at how quickly she helped me identify areas where I could improve; and greatly appreciated her ability to spur me on towards action without pushing or making it seem like a chore. She is a life-long learner and expert in human motivation and psychology, and the ways of thinking she taught have fundamentally changed how I work towards my goals. Highly recommended!
