How closely does your everyday life reflect what is really important to you? Fiona and Kaspa each offer mindful coaching as a way of closing the gap.
It is notoriously difficult to set the time aside to nourish our most cherished projects, or to untangle the knots that are holding you back.
Coaching conversations are a container for this kind of reflective space. In this space we look together at what is getting in your way, and make sense of why you haven't already made changes. We decide on practical steps, practice perseverance, celebrate your successes and have fun!

Who should I work with?
Fiona's approach: I enjoy helping people to honour their muses and find a way of integrating creativity into their everyday lives. I also enjoy working with themes around career, meaning, spirituality and, of course, writing. I am influenced by humanistic and existential thinking and Buddhist psychology. These theoretical approaches, and a lifetime of my experiences as an ordinary person and as a novelist with different projects and priorities to juggle, all inform my way of working.
I am a published novelist. I hold a coaching diploma with the Oxford School of Coaching and Mentoring, and I'm a BACP Accredited psychotherapist in private practice. I have a Diploma in Buddhist Psychotherapy with the Amida Trust. Before becoming self-employed I worked both in the private and charity sectors.
Do get in touch with me if you'd like to book in a free initial session.
The framework for my work comes from my Buddhist training, from Buddhist and humanistic psychologies and from my creative work and experience. It comes from facing the koans (central questions) in my own life, and from standing next to and helping others face and work with their own koans.
I am ordained as a Pureland Buddhist priest, and lived and trained as a monk in community for four years. I hold a post-graduate certificate in Chaplaincy studies, and my first degree was in Drama. As well as offering mindful coaching I have recently started seeing clients for counselling/psychotherapy.
Get in touch with me to start the conversation rolling.
