“My sessions with Chloë were a wonderful experience. Chloe gave me the space and support I needed to realise my strengths and achieve my personal goals in a way that suited me best. Being able to do all this on energetic walks in the open air was really special and allowed me to open my mind to new possibilities that I wouldn’t have been able to do indoors! Chloë always made sure she was meeting my needs, meaning I felt at ease in every session.”

Chloë gave me the space and the tools I needed to realise my strengths and achieve my goals. Rather than leading me the way or pushing me along, it was like she was at my side as I made my way along my own path”.

What is Coaching?

The Association of Coaching describes coaching as:
‘A solution-focussed, results-orientated and systematic process in which the coach facilitates the enhancement of work performance, life experience, self-directed learning and personal growth of the coachee.’

I describe coaching as a discussion with a coachee whom is guided to think deeply and in new and innovative ways in order to develop their own solutions to problems. I assist people in identifying and learning to harness their strengths through attentive listening and effective questions.

Positive Psychology Coaching

My coaching is rooted on Positive Psychology, a research-based branch of psychology that investigates the “science of happiness” or what drives individuals to thrive in their lives, and how we can apply this in practical ways.

I use the tools of Positive Psychology to enhance your wellbeing, life satisfaction, increase your confidence and develop your passions.

Coaching vs Therapy

Coaching aims to assist you in addressing specific issues or challenges you are currently facing, as well as supporting you in developing solutions to deal with them. Coaches concentrate on establishing a new life path in a solution focused and goal-orientated manner.

Counsellors, on the other hand focus look into emotional resolutions to past problems.

Why do people go to coaches ?

There are a variety of reasons why people decide to begin coaching. For example some people go to coaching if they are stuck in a rut, others go to coaching to adapt a more healthier mindset and others come to manage stress or increase productivity.

Coaching looks different for everyone, we all have our own personalised goals and needs. The purpose of coaching is to assist you in moving ahead towards your goals and to help you thrive at whatever life stage you in.

Coaching Sessions

Coaching sessions typically last 30-60 minutes. Typically the consultation session (free) is conducted online via Zoom or Microsoft teams and subsequent sessions are conducted in an outdoor environment via telephone or in person if you are based in Cavan. You can also choose if you would like to continue coaching sessions online if you prefer.

Coaching sessions are flexible and tailored to you. A one-time 60 minute session my be sufficient in helping you to deal with a specific issue or you may want to commit to a series of sessions to aid you in achieving longer-term objectives and change. Three or six 30-60 minute sessions are typically what coachees choose to do.

With COVID 19 the Irish government prescribed nature with a recommendation of a walk within 5k of your home a day. If the pandemic has taught us something, it’s that spending time in nature is beneficial to the mind, body, and soul. An abundance of research has found that being in nature has profound therapeutic benefits to our physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual wellbeing.

‘My Positive Coach’ uses Positive Psychology Coaching and nature to experience the physical and mental health benefits of exercise, nature, and coaching simultaneously. The vision for ‘My Positive Coach’ is to help individuals take a step forward in their lives ; a step forward literally through walking outside in nature and a step forward with positive psychology coaching

It’s common for people to go for a walk to ‘clear their head’. In today’s unexpectedly unstable times, we need the support and perspective that coaching, through a positive psychology lens can give us.

Email to arrange a free 20-30 minute confidential online consultation to explore how you’d like your life to improve. Once we’ve both agreed we’re a good fit, I’ll develop a coaching programme for you, some clients may need one coaching session and others may need six. Each coaching session lasts 60-90 minutes in duration. Typically the consultation session is conducted online via Zoom or Microsoft teams and subsequent sessions are conducted in an outdoor environment via telephone or in person if you are based in Cavan.

Each coaching session is person-centered and is tailored to the needs of the client and is adaptable, with evidence-based coaching methods that I feel will assist you in achieving your goals. I use a combination of positive psychology coaching interventions, cognitive behavioural coaching and motivational interviewing techniques to offer a secure, non-judgmental environment which allow clients to make enlightened and informed decisions about their life.
