I do regular 45-minute general health & wellbeing coaching sessions either face-to-face, over the phone or over Zoom depending on where you are and your preferences. They are not physical personal training sessions as such - they are sit-down coaching sessions. 

I have been conducting these one-on-one  sessions for about 8 years. We can do early morning, weekend, or late evening sessions.  

Typically people come to see me because they have been working on health-related or work and wellbeing habit changes for a while and haven't got themselves where they would like to be yet. 

Some of the topics we can focus on are:
  • your fitness regime (what is working, what is not working)
  • barriers and enablers to exercise and life-enhancing movement
  • getting started with exercise
  • your fitness program
  • your health and fitness goals
  • general challenges to your wellbeing
  • general education around health, wellbeing and fitness
  • eating intuitively for health and wellbeing (non-diet approach)
  • HAES (Health at Every Size)
  • stress management
  • mindfulness
  • time management
  • general goal setting and accountability

This is not a psychological service and I don't have my psychologist hat on for these.

However I can assist with many topics and areas that are not in the exclusive domain of professional psychology services. I can also assist you if you are investigating getting started with a psychologist (great) - I can help you get organised to get your Mental Health Care Plan, choose a psych, manage your expectations, and persevere with your sessions. 

Sessions are $75 and we can 'meet' weekly, fortnightly or monthly, or just on an ad-hoc basis when you have something you are trying to work through.

I would describe my style of coaching in the following ways...
​
  • Evidence-based
  • Respectful of my scope of practice
  • Kind, empathic, compassionate and supportive
  • Solution-focused rather than problem-focused
  • Weight-neutral, health-centric, respectful of size diversity, body positive
  • Problem-solving focused: we will keep trying different things at different times as we come up with solutions
  • Outcome-oriented
  • Driven by you rather than by me
  • Behaviour change is a slow moving beast so there are no closed doors if things aren't wildly successful at every step of the journey
  • No shouty-ness or bullying or unrealistic expectations
  • I'm efficient and goal-focused but some sessions you'll just need to debrief and word-dump and I will just listen! 
  • I focus on long-term, sustainable change rather than gimmicky quick-fixes
  • I am keen to build a supportive relationship with you rather than a 'service'
  • I will strongly encourage you to see a psychologist or your GP if I believe you would benefit from a psychological service instead of (or perhaps as well as) working with me
  • I am realistic about timing - we might start and the timing might not be right for you to be making changes. We can try again later.

Drop me a line anytime.
