Testimonials
“The coaching provided by Gina has been invaluable. Over the course of just 6 sessions, she has helped me to clarify many important goals and challenged a lot of the beliefs I had which were stopping me from taking action. Her questions were always thought provoking and relevant and often just one question at the right time helped me to resolve the entire issue. I would definitely work with Gina again.”
Susan E, TranslatorLife Change
A year ago I was feeling pretty dissatisfied with work, I'd just come out of a relationship and didn’t know what path or decisions to make. I was stuck.
My first session with Gina was quite revealing. I thought my rut was due to my job but after answering a few simple questions, it was apparent that I really wanted to travel, which explained why I wasn’t pushing myself when it came to applying for jobs. Over the course of about 6 sessions I had pretty much quashed any excuses by working through the process of eliminating any fears. I tackled them by breaking everything down into small achievable action points and replaying my desired outcomes continually in my imagination. A few months later I was boarding a plane to South America and having an amazing life experience.
When I returned I had the confidence and tools to make further changes, like moving to a new flat and my current 'project' is about finding a more fulfilling job. As a result of life coaching, I now have a much more focused outlook on what I want from life.
Change is very easy once you have answered the question “What’s stopping you?".
