Back from a coaching break

Even coaches need to take a break now and then.

If you want to know more about the ways in which I coach, why not have a look at www.coachingatthenextlevel.biz ........................................... or even read the feature recently published in the Sunderland Echo a local paper here in the north east of England.

I was interested by the small number of people who saw the article and then stopped me in my local shop or swimming pool to say something like "So you're a therapist" ... which of course isn't true. Coaching and some forms of therapy do have many features in common but when I first coach someone I am interested in where you are today and where you want to get to sooner and later. Why you feel stuck is less interesting because unless there's a big unhealed hurt it doesn't matter how you got here what matters is moving forward. However if there is a big unhealed hurt its possible the person would be better served working with a therapist who is trained to enable them to heal that hurt.

And did I have a good break ? Yes thank you, I did traveling by bus and train across southern Spain was brilliant
