Leading Life Coach & Human Behaviour Specialist
We offer unique and highly successful coaching programs, using the latest solution-focused mind techniques. This will help you achieve your goals in a fraction of the time, whilst uncovering a whole new level of self awareness! As a professional Life Coach, registered Psychologist and Clinical Hypnotherapist with over 30 years experience; I will help you clarify your direction, and help you to remove the limitations that are holding you back. As a result, you can significantly improve the quality of your life, and get off that treadmill. It’s time to get real about the kind of life you want!
The major keys to your success in achieving more in life, starts with firstly identifying exactly what you want in your life. Secondly, by identifying and removing the limitations that are holding you back. Then developing and implementing a realistic action plan to get there, and be accountable. This is how a life coach can help you to live a more fulifilling and meaningful life. It doesn’t matter if this relates to health, wealth, work, relationships, family or any other area of your life – the 3 step process is still the same.
Our Structured Life Coaching Process:
STEP 1 – Identify what it is you really want in your life. Who do you want to be, what do you want to have, and what do you want to do in this lifetime? Perhaps you’ve asked what is my real purpose in life? Or what does my ideal life look like? Without this clarified, how do you know what to do next? Imagine if you were to jump in your car and start driving, but you didn’t know where you were going? How would you know which way to turn when you came to a cross road? It’s the same in your life! That’s why we need to identify what it is you really want, in other words – what is your destination (even if it may seem impossible to know right now!)
STEP 2 – Identify and remove any limitations that act as barriers on the road you are travelling on, and hold you back from achieving your dreams. Perhaps part of your life vision is to build financial wealth, but you have a belief that money is the root of all evil! Then there would be a huge conflict before you begin, as part of you wants to build financial wealth, but part of you doesn’t! This conflict would absolutely hold you back. So it needs to be removed, by working with both your conscious and subconscious mind. You may think your beliefs are real, but in fact it is your limiting beliefs that are actually preventing you from achieving your goals.
STEP 3 – With your destination identified and the road now clear of those roadblocks, it’s time to develop your road map to get you to your destination. You’ll develop goals and an action plan to achieve what you truly desire. Then we support you and hold you accountable to get those tasks done, and deal with any hiccups along the way.
Gold Coast Life Coaching Programs
As an experienced and professionally trained Life Coach, Psychologist and Hypnotherapist; I have developed a highly successful 14 week program that follows this process. In your one-on-one Personal Success Coaching Program we will:
Identify exactly where you are now and where you want to be. Helping you to understand what you really want, discover your true passions, purpose and your dreams.
Identify the limitations that are holding you back. What are your underlying beliefs and psychological patterns that are preventing you from achieving what you want?
Firstly, work with your conscious mind to expand your awareness of your current thoughts, belief systems, emotional states, and behavioural patterns at a conscious level. And we will challenge your current disempowering beliefs and false perceptions that are holding you back.
Then, work directly with your subconscious mind. Internal conflict occurs when your conscious and your subconscious minds are not working together. Imagine your brain as a ship where your conscious mind is the captain, and your subconscious mind represents the crew. The captain may wish to direct the ship in a certain direction, but if the crew aren’t working with the captain…well there’s mutiny! So, we work directly with your subconscious mind to align it with your conscious mind, by using proven techniques like Hypnotherapy, PSYCH-K™, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) andEmotional Freedom Techniques (EFT).
Finally, with a clear vision and destination, and with your old roadblocks out of the way, we’ll then develop practical goals and an action plan to achieve your true desires in life. We will then hold you accountable in getting those steps done in your action plan, to live the kind of life that you truly want and deserve!
By the end of your 14 week coaching program you will have the clarity, the confidence, and the plan to move forward in life, and to start living the life you truly desire! If you are after a highly-regarded Life Coach on the Gold Coast look no further!
