What specific issues can coaching help
me with?
Are you stressed out and overwhelmed? Working with a coach is a way of stepping back and finding breathing space to take control of the things that can be changed whilst letting go of the things that are not in your control.
Has your self-confidence taken a knock? Coaching can help you to build a firm foundation of confidence, opening up new possibilities.
Feeling stuck and lost motivation? Our coaching programme can restart your momentum, you can create an action plan, design goals or set a new direction in life.
Your coach - Suzanne Bourne
“My ultimate intention is that you become the person you were made to be"
Suzanne began her professional coaching training in 2016 and has gone on to become an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coach Federation. As well as developing her own coaching practise for unpaid carers she has worked for Parkinson’s UK and the MS Society to develop and deliver self-management and wellbeing programmes.
As carer for her husband with Parkinson’s Disease, she also has her personal experience of caring.
“Talking to Suzanne was the first time that I ever felt like someone got it, she just completely accepted the place I was at emotionally. My guards were down, I shared a lot and I never felt like I needed fixing. This was so important because I was having a lot of realisations about myself and my caring role so my emotions were raw. Unpacking those in these coaching sessions felt safe"
