Just what is the

Actualize Approach?

 

The Actualize Approach is an innovative form of therapeutic and motivational life coaching that will help you enhance your self-understanding and help you become more engaged in your everyday life.

 

First Steps - Situational Assessment
When you've decided that the Actualize Approach is the right approach for you, we'll arrange our first session in your home or in one of my consulting rooms. Our first step is to complete a Situational Assessment, an holistic analysis of your life-situation. This will help generate insight into your situation and help you focus on the areas you wish to work on [you can view or download a simplified self-assessment tool with brief guidance notes here to give you a general idea].

Situational Assessment will help us identify unhelpful patterns and relationships between different areas in your life, assess how you respond to the world around you, help you focus on the areas of your life you wish to change, and give direction to where you want to be.

You will receive a copy of your Actualize Situational Assessment, a descriptive account of you-in-the-world, which can help you gain further insight into yourself and your situation.

 

Next Steps - NLP and Beyond
When you've identified what you wish to change in your life, we'll design strategies that will help you transform your dreams into reality.

It may be helpful to clean up past experiences that have inhibited you, remove limiting beliefs that have held you back, or provide you with resources to face life's challenges with greater confidence. After this NLP 'spring clean', you'll be setting off on your journey in the best possible shape, into a compelling future...

Once you're ready to start making changes in your world, we'll set about helping you sustain your transformative changes. Together, these will help you achieve what you want to achieve and to become the change you wish to see in yourself.

 

Are you ready to Actualize your life?

“Learning is the discovery that something is possible”
Fritz Perls

"The best thing about the past is that it's over. The best thing about the future is that it's yet to come. The best thing about the present is that it's here now"
Richard Bandler

Keeping You Safe
While rare, things can sometimes go wrong in client work. For this reason, I hold Professional Indemnity Insurance with Towergate Professional Risks and work within the ethical standards of The Association of Neuro Linguistic Programming.

While life coaching does not fall within the rubric of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I am also guided by the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice.
