Inspiring Connection
Only when we personally experience connection, can we reflect it.
Why Coaching?
No one can reach their goals alone. A Life Coach is someone who will walk with you each step of the way. They help with professional assessment tools and strategies to clarify your goals and highlight any beliefs, or unrealistic expectations that may be contributing obstacles . Together with you, a Life Coach will help you set small achievable steps in place to help you reach your desired destination.
Each step you achieve, gives you the faith and motivation to believe that you can be successful in reaching your next goal. An outside perspective can make all the difference. Wisely targeted questions can open up realms of new self-awareness that can lead to life-changing outcomes.
Life Coaching is NOT COUNSELING or PSYCHOTHERAPY. It is SOLUTION FOCUSED and RELATIONAL. We go at your pace and walk together towards the goals you want to achieve. At Cuppa Coaching, you have access to your coach between sessions via email to clarify a situation that you may be facing or to share that you have hit an unexpected obstacle. We can determine if another session is necessary or if a quick answer will is enough. You are not alone on this journey.
You can see a Life Coach for a short period of time or a longer period of time depending on your goals.
Cuppa Coaching 2 hour Intensives are helpful if you want to assess a situation in your life and get a fresh perspective. This could be for a situation in your marriage, your work, or entering a new season with your children or any relationship. There is no obligation to have repeated visits.
Below are some areas particularly close to Debbie's heart as they have touched her life personally.
Connecting
Deeper & More
Authentically
Are you able to relax and just be... YOURSELF? Are you having a hard time connecting deeper with your peers, spouse or kids?
If we have not experienced deep connection and authentic connections while growing up, it can be difficult to even know what true intimacy would look like, let alone move towards it. Our natural tendency is to conceal our authentic self behind exterior bravado and self-protection, avoiding vulnerable conversations at all costs.
Being aware of this is the first step to overcoming it. The next step is to seek help from a safe person who you can trust and who exhibit the qualities you are wanting to develop. Intimacy is an attainable goal and definitely worth pursuing!
Tools for facing
Overpowering
Relationships
Does conflict scare you or the fear of disappointing someone?
Are you in a relationship that feels overpowering? Do you feel trapped, powerless and like you are losing your "self"?
Do you find yourself going from one dysfunctional relationship to another?
You don't have to stay stuck. There are things in your control that you can do to restore freedom and self-confidence in your life!
Overcoming
Fear & Anxiety
We all develop fears and anxieties that can drive our decisions and impact our lives. Even those people we may consider the most successful could be driven by fears of failure or a need to find value in their achievements.
Often we want to wait for these fears to be overcome before we risk stepping out of our comfort zone and dare to reach for our buried dreams.
Whether you have social anxiety or fears of being rejected and alone, there is hope and freedom to be found!
Tools for facing
Overpowering
Emotions &
Desires
Although desires for comfort, happiness, safety, independence or acceptance are all good... when they are out of balance, they can begin to affect our behaviour and in turn, our relationships. They begin to impact our home and work environment.
When these strong expectations and desires are threatened, we can experience very intense emotions such as anxiety, anger, fear or shame. Over the years, we develop coping mechanisms to cover up these ruling desires and fears.
Becoming aware of the source of our triggers and learning how to disarm them, is the necessary step in seeing our needs and desires met in a healthy way.
Overcoming
Grief & Loss
There are so many losses that we may need to grieve in our life such as the loss of a spouse, parent or child are some of the most life-changing events, along with ones own loss of mobility or function. These inevitably shake our world as we knew it. A loss of a job can also lead to struggles with our sense of competence and purpose. When trauma hits a family, the children can experience a loss of childhood innocence and knowing where they fit in the new dynamics in the home.
Everyone grieves differently but everyone can benefit from a listening ear and a companion that understands loss themselves.
Tools for finding
Your Dream(s) &
Reaching Them
Do you have a dream or a goal that you have not been able to achieve yet?
A Life Coach will help you assess and clarify your goals, as well as determine if they are located in your area of passion and gifting. Sometimes we unknowingly pursue an expectation that someone else has placed on us, and need to readjust our objective. Does pursuing your dream bring you LIFE?
