Life Story Coach is about looking at your personal story, and how you can retell it so that you know what you want to have happen, and make it happen. I use all my skills of storytelling and metaphor to facilitate you to make your own decisions when you stand at the crossroads of life, uncertain what to do! I use a form of questioning called Clean Language, which allows you to create your own imag
es and metaphors, and to explore your own issues. The Clean bit is that the facilitator works entirely to your responses and offers no interpretations. The only meanings that matter are what you come to know about your own stuff! I work with storytelling and metaphor to facilitate people who are stressed or unhappy, to find a different way to understand their life story and become more confident to transform their lives. If you are at a crossroads, and not sure what to do, either because you have too many options, or no options at all, I don't tell you what to do. Instead I help you explore the stories behind your journey to the crossroads, and then facilitate you to look to the future and make your own decisions and action plans. Using storytelling and metaphor (and a whole load of related skills) enables you to make new discoveries and insights about the things you thought you knew about yourself and your relationships, and become better informed to make your own decisions. I have worked with creative artists like storytellers and writers who are interested in developing their personal approach to their art form, but find themselves blocked for one reason or another. Or who want to work on the development of characters and story line to make their storytelling and writing more authentic. I have worked with professionals in health and social care, the voluntary and private sector, and local businesses who feel they need support to look at what they are doing, either to improve their performance, reflect on what they have done, or to help them move on to the next stage in their career or business. And I have worked with individuals and couples who want to explore personal issues in relationships, bereavements and personal development. I do have a life where I tell stories and another where I write stories. But when I am working as a life story coach, I am interested in your story and what you want to have happen! If you are interested in working with me, you can get in touch thru messenger on Facebook, and we can connect by phone or by Skype to have a free initial consultation. For any future work you could either travel to Devon for a face to face meeting, or we could work together by phone or Skype!
