Life Coaching and Weight Management Coaching
Welcome to my website. Here you can learn about what is Life Coaching, what Coaching can do for you, what issues Coaching can assist you with, who I am, how I work, and how we could work together to transform your life. I will soon be posting testimonials from some of my clients, some interviews about coaching, and a recording of an actual coaching session (with permission of the anonymous client of course). You can find out how to contact me, what time works for you and me, and can learn about my charges and session structure.
Here are some questions you may ask.
Click on the question to see the answer.
The coach does this by asking the sort of questions that the client and others in their lives have not asked, by guiding the client to explore the stories and messages they tell themselves, and calling on the client to align their whole being, and act decisively to ensure they work towards those goals, with no self sabotage, no wasted energy, and total commitment.
Do you want to change career?
Do you want to create a loving relationship?
Do you want to understand why you keep sabotaging yourself?
Do you want to learn a new skill, or develop your existing skills?
Do you keep getting passed over for promotion?
Have you started something and fear you cannot complete it?
All these and many many more can be achieved with the use of coaching.
I can assist you in totally transforming your life.
Coaching works, because you are investing your time and money in yourself. There is no better investment than lifting yourself up to be the ultimate you are capable of being.
Face to face coaching sessions can be at the offices of the coach, at the offices of the client, or at a suitable venue. Telephone sessions are best held with the client in a safe and quiet environment, with minimal risk of interruption, and no risk of being heard.
I offer an introductory discount of 15% for the first five sessions.
I offer a discount of 10% on payments for more than ten sessions.
I offer two free sessions for every introduction to a new client.
Coaching is a personal relationship between client and coach. It involves trust, honesty, intimacy, and connection. Not every coach works for every client, so I suggest you have an initial free session so you can experience my style and the connection I build with you, my commitment to being honest and clear with you, and can experience the acceptance without judgement that I offer you.
My method is a culmination of the various trainings I have completed, and what I have done with them. You will find me rigorous in my commitment to clean, clear, honest and vulnerable communication. I offer tools that will assist you in all your communication, and have much experience at demonstrating and teaching those skills.
My capacity to identify the inconsistencies both in the messages you give yourself, and the actions you take, is like a laser. Very little gets past me, so I can help you to tackle the thoughts and beliefs that undermine your achievement of your goals, that others might not notice.
I have training and experience in several areas that many people find difficult to talk about, so you can talk about anything that you need to, without worrying if I can deal with it.

I have a range of experience, from unemployed and homeless, to highly educated and successful people.
I have clients ranging from needing to lose 4kg (9lb) to needing to lose 50kg (110lb).
I have experience of clients who are single, clients who are in a long term committed relationship/marriage, and clients who have recently separated. In addition to weight management, I have assisted clients with issues relating to parenting, employment, sexuality, abuse, small business, and corporate culture.
I have coped with the death of an offspring, and the parenting of a teenager. I have lived in Europe, China, and USA, I have worked to support a family, and I have given up my work in favor of my wifes career. I have been a member of a group of fathers for fourteen years, and I have coped with loneliness and isolation.
Hello Abel
Totally understand where you’re coming from. I do feel like I’ve improved a lot since you’ve been my coach. I can only give you credit for this, as I wouldn’t have been conscious about my shortcomings, and made purposefully aware of this weekly without your efforts….I do appreciate you. And you’ve been an amazing motivator for me. Thank you.
Am very pleased with the following progress:
1) more purposeful and planning of logistics on my part when it comes to meeting and organizing my work
2) more focused and less distracted during specific activities so I actually accomplish more
3) become more realistic on what I want to do and what I can do
4) actually more punctual and aware of meetings and schedules
5) have become more present and reliable for colleagues
6) getting tasks done and completed.
7) on schedule for all work deadlines to date
8) able to better plan and delegate work so things actually gets done
9) Actually have had the courage to confront difficult issues at work and home that I would usually avoid ex:a) tough discussions withe Jesse, b) tough decisions like re-organizing teams, braving getting employees angry and disappointed with me, c) firing employees in the past week.
10) can focus and listen more when in a conversation with people
