Testimonials
“Belinda is a wonderful coach. She is caring and compassionate and listens intently to understand and tailor her coaching to how I am feeling in each session. She has helped me work through problems and decisions in my life in a compassionate and personal way, allowing me to see the bigger picture and to realise the things that are important to me. Working with Belinda has helped me to move forward with my life and to make decisions when at a crossroad. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for coaching
“I always felt listened to and she allowed me the time to talk openly, without any judgement. Belinda's supportive approach has allowed me to generate new thoughts and outlooks about various situations. I always leave our conversations feeling more positive and with a greater sense of clarity”.
“Belinda was very approachable and personable from the offset – she helped me feel at ease and I was able to share with her my professional and personal difficulties/strengths. Belinda showed me she had a good understanding of what I was trying to convey, helping me find practical solutions”.
“Really invaluable support in such a short space of time – I am already applying a lot of the strategies that Belinda helped me develop”.
About coaching with Belinda
I have been a doctor for almost 30 years and have worked in palliative (hospice) medicine and general practice. As a certified transformational coach, I bring a unique set of skills from my extensive personal and professional experience. I am well known for my compassionate, non-judgmental and optimistic approach. I believe that helping a client transform their thinking from the inside out is an essential foundation for personal development.
Why coaching?
Are you feeling stuck? Facing change? Wanting to rediscover your purpose? Whatever your circumstances or stage of life, transformational coaching focuses not just on your goals but on what lies behind them - your hopes and fears, what drives you forward and what holds you back. Understanding these enables you to see problems and barriers differently, to discover new things about yourself and to find your own solutions. I take a flexible, client centred approach, tailoring your coaching sessions to your needs, personality and aspirations to help you reach your goals and make the changes you want to see. Many of my clients find that coaching fundamentally transforms the way that they think and imparts lasting skills and habits which enhance their interactions with the world.
As a coach, I love to watch people’s confidence, competence and ideas unfold as coaching progresses. I very much hope this will be your experience and I look forward to working with you.
