Russell-Jones

I'm a client-led holistic life coach specialising in coaching for health and wellbeing. I am currently undertaking a two year coaching diploma certification, accredited by the UK Association for Coaching. My mission is to support people in discovering more about themselves and in exploring what freedom means to them.

If you want to feel better, in what ways may it help to be better at feeling, (regardless of what feelings may come up)?

HOLISTIC LIFE COACH TO SUPPORT YOUR WELLBEING & HEALTH JOURNEY

My methods

MY METHODS

Client led

In client led coaching, the role of the coach is to support the client in their journey, rather than the coach to give advice to the client or tell the client what to do.
A skilful & intuitive coach will help the client to explore topics relevant to the client, to dig deeper where necessary, and to gain new perspectives - all within a structure which reinforces the client's capacity for insight, rather than the coach's need to direct.

Coaching tools

A coach may invite the client to use a range of coaching tools to support the process, such as Cognitive behavioural coaching, Solutions-focussed coaching, Journaling, Motivational interviewing, Scaling, the Emotional Wheel, the Wheel of life etc.
Fundamentally however, coaching is where the coach listens, hears, reflects, and asks primarily open-ended questions to help the client gain fresh perspectives and explore topics in a holistic way. Tools are only used in so far as they support this process, rather than distract from it.

Coaching as a process

Client-led coaching is a process in which the client has the opportunity to discover more of their own wisdom, capacity for change, & answers to their questions whatever they may be. Supported by conversations and exercises with the coach conducted in a confidential and compassionate space, the client as a person can develop and build inner resource and insight.

The role of the coach

The role of the coach is to support the client's journey, whatever that is, rather than direct it.
The quality of the coach is determined by their capacity to act as a mirror to the client, reflecting the client back to them accurately, to remain present, intuitive and curious, whatever comes up in the session.
The role of the coach is to create a space in which the client can explore whatever topics they bring, to support them in that journey, to challenge them where necessary, and to hold them to account in a constructive manner.

A combination of movement, meditation and breath exercises can help people to connect in new ways with their body, mind and awareness of self.

Therapy has really helped me overcome some past trauma I had been keeping under a lid for a long time. Now, I feel happier and more confident in my life, and feel like I can walk with my head held high.

Coming from a competitive sports background, the injury that ended up making me give up my career was a hard blow. With therapy, I was able to start building my identity around other things than just sport.

Happy clients
