Our individual career coaching sessions will focus on your aspirations and work together to unlock your full career potential.
During these sessions, we will listen to you and ask questions to help you gain self-awareness. We will explore your values and character strengths to enhance your learning journey. Our goal is to explore, support, challenge, and sometimes confront you in ways that deepen your learning, which may ultimately lead to a shift in your strategies and approach to taking action between our sessions.
The Process
During our complimentary discovery call, we will explore a coaching program tailored to your needs or create a bespoke package unique to you.
As career coaches, we will work together with you to understand your story, ensuring you feel heard as we focus on your coaching goals. From there, we can explore the mindset shifts you need to make and what you envision for your future. We will also address the gap between your current actions and your future aspirations.
Our one-hour sessions are conducted via Zoom, and by the end of our agreed time, you will have developed actionable steps to help you achieve a successful outcome.
Impactful Positive Client Outcomes
Several key factors consistently impact positive coaching outcomes; we embrace them in our coaching sessions.
Self-efficacy
The more confident clients feel about their ability to make a change, the more likely they are to implement their plans. The belief that you can accomplish your goals by using your skills and abilities (self-efficacy) leads clients to set more challenging goals and expend more effort in achieving them. Coaching has been shown to build clients’ self-efficacy by raising awareness, encouraging clients to take responsibility, and offering opportunities for positive feedback. So, we practice coaching that helps clients boost their confidence, which makes them more likely to implement their plans.
Range of tools and techniques used by our coaches
Our diverse professional toolkit enables our coaches to select the specific tools or techniques that best suit our clients’ needs. Regardless of the chosen approach, we are convinced it will be effective, and this belief appears to have a positive impact.
Working alliance
Beyond anything else, the working alliance seems to be the key to successful coaching. The working alliance consists of three aspects:
The first aspect is a clear and agreed-upon goal near the start of each session. This ensures that the conversation is focused on the matter at hand and that the coach and client have a shared understanding of the priorities.
The second aspect is an explicit and shared understanding of the process to ensure that the client understands what coaching is and how it works as it progresses. This includes sharing the values and purposes of coaching models, tools, or techniques.
The third aspect is a good relationship between the coach and client, specifically trust and commonality. The idea of psychological safety explains the strong link between trust levels and positive outcomes, which allows clients to show vulnerabilities and, therefore, explore their weaknesses and limitations. The coach and client’s commonality, which involves sharing similar attitudes, beliefs, and values, suggests positive outcomes. This is explained by humans’ tendency to identify and attract people like themselves.

Why work with Mindfulness Coaching?
Our areas of specialisation are based on over twenty years of work experience in multiple countries, in small and medium-sized businesses, as well as multi-billion-dollar corporationsand multinationals.
High-performance, bonus-driven, and political environments such as trading floors are where we witnessed first-hand the values that mindfulness coaching can bring.
We have both academic and practical skills in career coaching, covering career development, training, and coaching psychology. We work in the strictest confidence, creating a non-judgemental and psychologically safe space to reflect and grow in your professional life.
We do not provide quick fixes and answers but facilitate inquisition and self-reflection through a structured approach grounded in evidence-based psychological and coaching tools.
We practise within the highest ethical frameworks and boundaries and can support you as you tackle career ambitions, stressors and work-life balance.
We are unable to support you with moderate to severe health symptoms and conditions.
Coaching is not counselling or therapy. If, at any time, I feel you may benefit from alternative approaches, then I will direct you to the appropriate healthcare professional.
What mindset shall we both bring to the coaching alliance?
To maximise their investment in coaching, clients need to come to sessions with an open mind and prepare their topics, goals, and timelines. This allows the coach to use the most suitable coaching models, theories, tools, and techniques to maximise their positive outcomes in a focused, timely manner.
