Coaching for doctors

Having a medical background myself, I’m familiar with the pressures and issues faced by doctors. I am particularly experienced at helping people deal with stress, deepen motivation, develop a better work/life balance, improve mood, change habits, increase effectiveness and strengthen purpose in life.

Through coaching I can help you find and follow the purposes that call you, develop clarity of focus, stay on course, recover from setbacks, cultivate strengths, move through blocks and become happier.

Coaching over the phone or skype

After living in Bristol for more than twenty years, I recently moved to the north of Scotland. I do most of my coaching over the phone or Skype, with sessions usually lasting an hour. I charge £60 an hour or a reduced rate of £300 for a course of six sessions.

Training in Motivational Interviewing and Positive Psychology

I have run courses in Motivational Interviewing since 1998, and in Positive Psychology since 2005. I’ve now started to run these courses, which can add so much to medical practice, via distance learning. See my Courses and Distance-Learning in MI and Pos Psy page for more information.

Coaching for the public as well as doctors

I also offer a coaching service for the public, drawing on my specialist experience in health-related behaviour change, motivational interviewing, stress management and positive psychology. Please refer interested friends or patients to www.coaching4positivechange.net
