Free telephone consultation
Mentoring for professional development and personal growth

I offer a free initial telephone consultation to answer any questions you might have.

Professional Mentoring aims to help you develop your professional skills and goals; improve confidence in work situations and make the right career choices. Setting aside time for a confidential mentoring space, outside of your work structure is really useful when needing to make clear, well informed decisions and taking effective action in challenging or new situations.

Mentoring using a CBT approach

Mentoring using a CBT approach offers a very sound focus basis to address current issues such as enhancing teamwork or team leadership. as well as strategically planning the direction in which you want your career to head - in the context of other areas of your life and your personal values.

As a mentor, part of my role would be to assist you to recognise the full wisdom of your own experience and intuition, and, as appropriate, to use CBT practices to communicate to very best effect, in a way that matches different dynamics and the requirements of your role and position.

A CBT approach to mentoring can also increase the likelihood of you "doing what you love and loving what you do" by looking at potential obstacles and how they can be creatively overcome - or simply spotted and side stepped!

How I can help you within mentoring sessions

Potential focus points for mentoring could include: 

Getting you (and your team) inspired and motivated to make changesChanging unhelpful patterns at work - overcoming procrastination for example Addressing challenging dynamics in your workplaceValuing your contribution to a team and helping others to see its’ valueAccessing your creativity, wisdom and intuitive knowingLearning from mistakes – accessing a deeper wisdomFinding deeper meaning and purpose in your work

Or... 

Changing your career: where to go from here? Making the best start to a new jobConsidering therapy training as a career option

What might this look like?

Sessions can be spaced apart or booked as specific need arises. According to your needs and goals, we can focus on enhancing your ability to make wise and empowering choices and action. Alternatively, we could focus on increasing your confidence in the qualities, abilities and knowledge that you have to offer. We could also focus on increasing your recognition of how to make the most of your skills, strengths and draw on the wisdom of your life experience more fully.

In parallel to this, I can teach you specific CBT strategies, tools and techniques you can use to complement and enhance your existing abilities. Sessions and strategies would be specifically tailored to meet the requirements and demands of your occupational roles, situations and challenges with effectiveness.
