Capacity
When you know yourself, you can work with your natural tendencies to accomplish the things that matter most to you.
Confidence
Once we know our confusion and self-limiting patterns well, we find that we are no longer at their mercy. We become confident in who we actually are, rather than who we think we should be.

Hello

Throughout my career and life, I’ve worked with and met many executive coaches, counsellors, programs. None had the impact Alan has had. Alan has guided me in overcoming triggers and limiting beliefs, unburdening the parts of me that cycled in suffering and insecurity. He has helped me reconnect with joy, confidence and a genuine sense of self love and well-being. I feel fortunate to benefit from Alan’s lifetime of experience and compassion.

Working with Alan has supported me in facing difficult emotions and situations with curiosity and gentleness rather than avoidance or aggression. Alan models the kindness and compassion needed when habits overcome my practice. His own self-knowledge, experience, clear insight, honesty, superior listening skills, and above all humour makes every session deeply rewarding. I would highly recommend you be kind to yourself and book some time with Alan.
You're not broken!
If you feel like there's something wrong with you - you keep getting in your own way, you can't figure out why you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing - you're not broken!
You've been adapting to keep yourself feeling safe. Sometimes the behaviours we adopt in childhood hold us back later in life.

Stepping Into
Self-Leadership
In Self-Leadership Coaching, we'll meet all the parts of your psyche that want to protect you, and discover how to turn them into allies in your personal growth journey.
Learning how to simply be present and aware is key for expanding your self-awareness. I use mindfulness-awareness practice in combination with Internal Family Systems to guide you to step into your truest self, unburdened by your past.
When you discover how the parts of you that seem destructive are actually trying to help you, you can work with those parts instead of letting them hold you back.
When you are in self leadership, your truest self is in charge.
