Over the years, I’ve seen just how transformative coaching can be. I’ve benefitted from having a coach myself — a space to pause, think out loud, and find clarity when I felt stuck or couldn’t see the wood for the trees. I’ve encouraged others to find coaches too, and watched as they discovered fresh perspectives, insights, and momentum.
So recently, I decided to take the plunge and train as a coach. I wanted to be able to offer this to the people I work with — in particular, Christian leaders.
Having completed and passed my initial coaching training, I am now working on my next level of certification, which requires me to complete many more hours of coaching practice under the guidance of my coaching trainers and mentors.
So if you are reading this, you can help me, and in return, I can help you or someone else you know. I can offer free coaching that helps me build up my practice hours.1

What Coaching Is (and How It Fits with Counselling & Spiritual Direction)
Coaching is a structured, forward-focused conversation: a place where you can step off the wheel, catch your breath, and explore what matters most. It’s about helping you see where you are, where you want to go, and how to take your next step. It’s a space to think out loud and find clarity in the process.
It isn’t the same as counselling, which often looks back with a trained professional at problems, feelings, wounds, loss and thoughts, to understand how our past may be influencing our present.
Nor is coaching spiritual direction, which, with a trained guide, helps us notice and respond to God’s presence in our lives.
Direction is primarily about intimacy with God; coaching is about practical next steps and action.
Of course, all three overlap. Together, coaching, counselling and spiritual direction complement one another. I have written in more detail about that at my other site, here.
Why Coaching Matters — Especially for Christian Leaders
Leadership often feels like they are running hard but not moving forward — or getting lost among the trees, unable to see the forest. Coaching provides the chance to step back, regain perspective, and think with intention.
For leaders, it’s a way to process challenges, sharpen focus, and move from being reactive to being strategic. For Christian leaders, coaching is especially valuable: it helps align leadership with calling, ensuring that our ministry flows not out of exhaustion or pressure, but out of identity in Christ.
Good coaching doesn’t hand you answers. It draws out the wisdom and courage already within you, helping you see more clearly and act more faithfully. Over time, that can mean the difference between burnout and resilient, joyful leadership.

If you’ve ever longed for that kind of space, I’d love to offer you the gift of a free coaching session with me. A chance to pause, think out loud, and explore what’s next — no pressure, just time set aside for you.

These are genuine coaching sessions, offered at a token cost. It’s not about the payment — it’s about the practice, the partnership, and the opportunity for you to experience coaching at an accessible rate while I train. I’ll explain how this works with anyone interested in coaching with me.
