James Shireby - Life Coach
Life Coaching
Have you ever asked if your life is going in the right direction? Are there elements of your life that you’re struggling with? Are there parts of your life you would like more from?
Life coaching is a combination of counselling and coaching; it aims to support a person to explore their struggles and help them to develop solutions and build new skills so they can navigate difficult times and move forward positively.
The process provides an opportunity to develop psychological skills and resilience, focusing on behaviour change, with a solution focused outcome.
Life coaching takes a holistic approach, looking at the whole picture of mental and physical health, both of which are part of an interconnected human system and can’t be viewed in isolation.
This approach can support and guide clients to a more meaningful and purposeful life.
Why is life coaching important and how can it help you?
We all want to lead a happy, healthy and fulfilling life. Life coaching supports people to recognise the necessary elements to lead a life like this. We all have areas of our life that we struggle with and want to change. Spending time examining this can help us work out how to develop and progress.

What is involved in life coaching with TWPT?
1) In an initial consultation, together, we will explore a holistic view of your wellbeing, both physical and mental, to identify the most important areas to focus on and which will have the biggest and most positive impact on your life. This will help to gain a full understanding of you as a person and your priorities.
2) We will explore ways to understand the persistent problems and obstacles you are facing, looking at your barriers to success.
3) The style is a global, integrated one, rather than the isolated, reductionist approach, often used by the traditional medical system. Biological, psychological and social factors could all be explored in the sessions.
4) Once an understanding of the issues and goals have been established, we will create a plan, with meaningful, positive actions. These actions will be in line with your values in manageable steps for positive change.
5) Work and actions could consist of methods for behavioural change, frameworks to change psychological mindset, introspective work or programmes for amending health behaviours e.g. forming positive sleep habits, improving nutrition and enforcing positive exercise habits.
6) Throughout, we will review progress, reflect and update goals.
