What is my coaching
process?
Coaching is the art of mastering life—a powerful process that helps you navigate key life dilemmas, unlock your potential, break through personal and professional barriers, and transform your relationships. While similar to therapy, coaching is often more goal-oriented, focused on growth, performance, and self-actualization.
I provide a deeply engaging and transformational coaching experience, integrating multiple disciplines for a truly holistic approach. I am trained in Gestalt Coaching and Embodied Systemic Coaching, but also weave in CBT, TA, ACT, and the Enneagram, ensuring that every session is tailored to your unique needs.
Gestalt & Systemic Coaching helps you develop greater self-awareness, reconnect with your authentic nature, and tune into your intuition. As your awareness expands, you naturally become more confident, aligned, and connected to what truly matters in your life.
My integrated coaching approach combines the principles of Gestalt Coaching and Systemic Coaching, offering a comprehensive pathway for deeper awareness, clarity, and transformation.
Gestalt coaching is a holistic, experiential approach focused on the present moment, emphasizing awareness, personal responsibility, and direct experience. Rather than trying to fix or suppress challenges, it invites you to fully acknowledge and integrate your current reality, allowing change to emerge naturally. Through dialogue, experiments, and embodied practices, Gestalt coaching helps you step into your fullest presence, navigating life’s challenges with greater resilience, clarity, and ease.
Systemic coaching expands upon this awareness by taking a big-picture view that explores the hidden dynamics shaping your experiences. Rooted in Gestalt’s concept of “the field,” it acknowledges that we are all part of interconnected systems—familial, relational, cultural, and organizational. By mapping out these influences, uncovering unconscious patterns, and recognizing inherited loyalties, systemic coaching facilitates profound shifts in perception and personal freedom.
Both approaches begin with awareness—bringing unconscious patterns, emotions, and behaviors into conscious recognition. As you deepen your awareness of how you think, feel, and respond to the present moment, you gain invaluable insights into the broader systems influencing your experiences. This combined approach empowers you to embrace change, foster resilience, and achieve a more authentic, fulfilling life.
1
Inner
Awareness
Gestalt and systemic coaching begin with awareness—bringing hidden patterns, emotions, and behaviors into conscious recognition. By observing how you think, feel, and react in the present moment, you gain deeper insight into unconscious dynamics shaping your experience.
2
Awareness
Experiments
Gestalt coaching uses experiments to create real-time breakthroughs. These involve role-play, movement, dialogue, or creative exercises, allowing you to experience patterns in action rather than just talking about them. Change emerges through direct engagement, not just analysis.

Mapping
Systems
Systemic coaching explores the larger relational, cultural, and environmental systems that influence your behaviors. By mapping out family dynamics, or social influences, you uncover hidden forces and unconscious loyalties that shape your challenges and opportunities.

Mapping
Patterns
Patterns are repeating loops of thought, emotion, and behavior that keep you stuck. By identifying these cycles, we bring clarity to how they were formed, why they persist, and how to shift them into more constructive, empowering alternatives.
5
Exploring Resistance
Resistance is a natural response to change, a defence mechanism that protects familiar patterns. Rather than fighting it, we explore why it exists, what it safeguards, and how to work with it, allowing breakthroughs and stuckness to unfold organically.

Natural
Emergence
Growth happens when new awareness leads to natural transformation. As you integrate insights and shift behaviours, a more authentic, aligned version of you emerges—one that is free from past limitations and able to navigate life with clarity and confidence.
Skills & training
Gestalt
Behavioural
Rooted in the California Human Potential Movement, Gestalt coaching is a powerful, present-focused approach to transformation. Rather than analysing what you think, Gestalt explores how you think, bringing deeper awareness to your patterns and behaviours. It helps you move beyond intellectual understanding and into direct experience, creating space for real change. Gestalt helps you break through obstacles, get unstuck and unlock new possibilities. (Kinharvie Institute)
Embodied
Systemic coaching
Our challenges don’t exist in isolation—they are shaped by both our bodies and the systems we live in. Embodied Systemic Coaching explores the hidden influences behind your struggles, helping you understand the broader context that shapes your experiences. By tuning into your body’s wisdom and examining the systems around you, this approach brings new insights and fresh perspectives. As awareness expands, so does the potential for deep, lasting change. (Jenny Mackewn Coaching)
Transactional
Analysis
TA is a powerful system for understanding how your life has been shaped by past decisions and unconscious patterns. It helps you uncover the key choices that have influenced your experiences, relationships, and sense of self. A central part of this process is identifying your “life script”, the internal narrative that guides your actions and beliefs. TA also reveals the games and patterns that keep you stuck. (Training: Link Centre Brighton)
REBT & CBT
Therapy
My core training is in CBT and REBT, having completed an MSc at Goldsmiths, University of London. Recently I’ve worked for the NHS for two years as a Schema CBT therapist. Learning to question my own narratives and practice unconditional self-acceptance has been life changing. CBT provides a clear and practical framework for understanding how our thoughts shape our emotions and behaviours. At its core, CBT is about liberation and deep emotional freedom.
