Coaching

What is coaching and how it can be helpful?

What is coaching?

  • A series of conversations to help support a change
  • A supportive non-judgmental space where your needs are the focus
  • A space where you can be helped to develop plans, have a supporter and an accountability partner
  • Not necessarily a planning space: it can be a space for thinking, reflecting, and being heard
  • A space to try things out safely (e.g. a mock interview, a challenging conversation)

Hi, I’m Dr Jo Collins and I founded Care for You Coaching because I wanted to create coaching tailored for people who (like me) are busy parents, divided between caring for children and loved ones and finding it hard to prioritize their own needs.  I’ve been employed as a coach for 7 years and I specialize in supporting parents and carers ditch guilt and reframe their self-talk.  I have a Master’s degree in positive psychology and coaching psychology and I’m a researcher coach: my practice is informed by the latest evidence, and I also research coaching, sharing findings about practice.
