What matters to you?

Life coaching is all about overcoming both real and perceived barriers that limit our ability to achieve our goals.  Life coaching at Free to Bee™ has a focus on emotional resilience within relationships. Emotions have an enormous influence and impact on our relationship with ourselves and others.

Through life coaching Debbie aim's to empower clients to achieve their relationship goals so they can live a more fulfilling life.  Life coaching provides a supportive space to explore challenges, develop strategies to manage emotions effectively and build the inner strength to overcome obstacles.  By working with a life coach who has a focus on emotional resilience within relationships you'll gain the tools and confidence to navigate relationship ups and downs with greater ease.

Yes, because life coaches help people reach their goals.  Some people have a specific goal to either improve or to leave their relationship. While the specific focus can vary depending on the coach's specialty, relationships are often a key element affecting a person's well-being.

Here's why:
1. Emotions drive behavior:  Our feelings significantly impact our actions and decisions. By understanding and managing emotions, clients can make more deliberate choices aligned with their relationship goals.  In other words they can respond instead of react to the inevitable obstacles they encounter.
2. Emotions impact goal achievement:  Fear, anger, frustration, guilt, anxiety and overwhelm can limit relationship progress. Life coaches help clients identify emotional barriers, personal boundary issues and other relationship issues and develop strategies to navigate them.
3. Emotions influence self-belief: Negative emotions can lead to self-doubt and affect motivation. Life coaches can help clients build emotional resilience and cultivate positive self-talk so that they are better prepared for relationship challenges.

Life coaching for relationship issues can be both an alternative to or an addition to Counselling. Life coaching is about moving into the future where counselling could be considered more reflective in nature.

In our consultation, we'll work together to:

1. Give you an opportunity to teach me more about the issue and how it affects you to give me insight into what your struggles are.

2. Make a plan that works for you. The plan needs to meet your level of commitment to reach your goal, availability, beliefs and budget.

3. If appropriate book a date to get started with your unique life coaching plan to assist you to meet your goals.

Each session is dedicated to the particular issue the client is facing at the time.  I do not plan a standard session, they are all unique and dedicated to the clients needs.

Having said that I will always cover values in the first session as I believe they are key to understanding yourself and your triggers.  In knowing more about ourselves we have options.

A session begins with an update on the previous session - if applicable and identifying the goal for the given session. 
We then work consistently to resolving that particular facet of the overall problem. 
Strategies and or an action plan may be developed, tools and techniques to manage emotions and challenges may be shared, support and encouragement will be given. 
With your consent we may use visualisation on occasions where it is appropriate.

Yes, children are also affected by their emotions and the relationships they experience in their lives. By empowering children to challenge their limiting beliefs and manage their emotions they are more equipped for the inevitable challenges in adolescent and adult relationships.

For children under the age of 13 years I do require that a parent or other adult the child trusts be present at the appointment both online and in person.
I have a long history of working with children from my previous career as a Dental Therapist.

Sessions are an hour each. 
I also offer two hour sessions for people who are in a hurry to reach their goal.

The cost of a session is:
$99 one hour session
$199 two hour session

I offer both online, telephone and in-person sessions. 
Clients choose the option that best suits your needs and preferences.
Online sessions are conducted via secure video conferencing software and offer the convenience of meeting from anywhere with an internet connection.
In-person sessions take place at my office in Hamilton.

I really enjoy working with people online and by phone.  For some people it seems to give them enough distance and privacy to really dig deep in terms of identifying what is holding them back from overcoming challenges and obstacles in achieving their relationship goals.

It is not always possible for people to work with me in person so online or phone work is a great way of moving past the challenge of physical location.
