“I am not free while any women is unfree, even when her shackles are different from my own” Audre Lorde Writer and Activist
My aim is to motivate, inspire and encourage accountability to support women to reach the goals that they have set for themselves. I hope to assist women to set a strategic, effective and focused pathway towards their goals. The life coaching sessions will support you to hold yourself accountable.
What is the difference between Life Coaching and Counselling/Therapy?
The objective of coaching is helping people achieve their goals. The basic presumption of coaching is that coaching clients are in a good and willing place mentally and emotionally. The work focuses on creating and maintaining motivation for change, exploring obstacles to change, and creating plans for change. The objective of counselling and therapy is helping people address and resolve problems that make them feel bad emotionally, or are impairing their ability to function well. This can include healing from anxiety, depression, mood, trauma etc
Family Life Coaching
AKA Life Coaching will work with you to identify the strengths and or your family. Will help you develop a plan to address any challenges you are facing. Everyone, regardless of age, gender or background is entitled to a helping hand and getting the right information. Being a parent is a very big, important role that we are rarely prepared for. Coaching works on the idea that you have the answers. The job of the coach is to simply help you realise your potential and be confident in yourself.
How can AKA Life Coaching help? Being an Adult is about making choices and many of us can doubt the decisions we make – “What if they are wrong? How do you cope with the fear that you haven’t done something the right way?” Your Life coach will work with you to identify what you want to achieve from your sessions. She will listen to you and support you, offering guidance to help you reach your goals and overcome any obstacles that may be in your way. AKA Life coaching can help you deal with all aspects of being a parent/carer .
Parenting style - You may have a different parenting style to your partner, your friends or your own parents. All parents are different and what may work for some
people, may not work for you. Your coach will be able to help you decide what
style of parenting feels right.
Confidence - A coach will help you improve self-confidence and boost your self-belief.
Life events - Sometimes life is unexpected and we aren’t always prepared to deal with a tragic situation. Your coach will help you look after yourself while understanding how to help your Family. This may include divorce or separation, the loss of a loved one or experiencing a traumatic event.
Work /life balance - Becoming a parent can often come as a shock. Your roles change and suddenly you are responsible for another life, as well as working and maintaining your health and relationships. Your coach will help you find a balance between your career, social life, relationship and family time.
Stress management - Your life coach can explore with you techniques to manage stress and know how to cope when times get tough. Being a parent is a challenge and it is important to know your stress triggers and what you can do to relax.
NEW AKA MEN
We have launched AKA Men. This is our specialist service that supports men who want to take a more active role in parenting.
The services we provide for men are support for fathers that are adjusting to co-parenting after separation, divorce, and additional caring roles such as caring for an elderly relative.
We provide parenting support for men that want to improve or “fine-tune” their parenting skills, so we look at positive behaviour management strategies, understanding your child with an additional need, such as autism, or learning new ways to communicate with your ever-growing and opinionated teenager and much more.
