If you are interested in working one-on-one with me, let me know!

I do regular 50-minute coaching sessions either face-to-face, over the phone or over Skype - depending on where you are and your preferences. I have been conducting these one-on-one 'personal training' sessions for about 6 years. We can do early morning, weekend, or late evening sessions.  

Some of the topics I focus on are:

• your fitness regime (what is working, what is not working)
• barriers and enablers to exercise
• getting started with exercise
• your fitness program
• your health and fitness goals
• general challenges to your wellbeing
• general education around health, wellbeing and fitness
• weight management
• the person-centred approach to weight management 
• stress reduction
• mindfulness
• time management
• general goal setting and accountability
• planning and scheming and problem solving
• I provide general support and encouragement! 

I don't offer psychological services at this point, and I am very clear on my boundaries and scope of practice as a Provisional Psychologist. However I can assist with many other topics and areas that are not in the 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, and depending on my client load at the time. 

I would describe my style of coaching in the following ways...

• Evidence-based
• Kind, empathic and supportive - but I will certainly challenge you when it is appropriate! 
• Solution-focused rather than problem-focused
• Problem-solving focused: we will keep trying different things at different times as we come up with solutions
• Results-oriented
• Driven by you rather than by me
• You get plenty of 'second chances' - 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
• It's about you, not me
• 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.
