“I am feeling more confident as a consequence of coaching and my main objective has been addressed. I am organising and preparing myself and my work differently, working hard and feeling stronger. I am more resilient than ever. Altogether I have crossed a line which I didn’t expect to get to so quickly.”
Sheila Hamilton Executive coach, counsellor, supervisor and facilitator
My work with individuals and groups is focused on increasing and sustaining self-awareness, creativity, confidence, resourcefulness and overall wellbeing, enabling clients to be the best they can be.
I have extensive experience in helping clients to adapt to major transitions, develop decision making skills and deal with personal challenges. I enjoy working collaboratively, empowering clients to tap into their personal and professional potential, to support them through life changes, recognise successes and challenges, resolve relationship difficulties, and achieve their personal and work-related goals.
In my coaching practice, I draw on my experience as a senior member of a university leadership team for over 20 years, and as an integrative counsellor/psychotherapist, using Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and a Solution Focused approach in particular. From my therapeutic background, I bring the skills of attentive listening, non-judgement and acceptance, and my values of integrity, honesty, transparency, congruence, equality and justice. Being bilingual enables me to consider different perspectives and to value cultural differences.
I have extensive experience in working with neurodiverse individuals, supporting them with tools, awareness and understanding to enable them to thrive in the workplace.
I am passionate about seeking to meet our human need for connectedness and am involved in community projects and facilitate classes in wellbeing both face to face and online. I supervise a wide range of practitioners in the caring professions, to support their client work and their professional development.
