A little bit more about me:

First of all, I think I might share my personal stories with you so you can gauge whether it resonates with you and whether I am the right one to help you.

Grew up from a rural area in China where females were not being valued and expected to behaviour in a certain way, I used to struggle a lot in my life – relationship with my parents, low self-value/confidence, cared way too much about other people and society’s expectations, blurry career directions and quite a few “failing” intimate relationships etc. I also had to battle with cancer, twice.

Life used to be pretty tough for me, I felt everything was going against my direction, and I was the victim of life.  

In 2013, I moved to New Zealand by myself to start a new life here and in early 2019, I accidently started my personal development journey through a 10 days silent retreat called “Vipassana”, then tried many different modalities after that. Amongst all, Coaching was absolutely a key tool that helped me to gain clarity, confidence and changed my life in so many positive ways. I was amazed by how Coaching conversation works and changes people, eventually I decided to get trained, became a professional Coach to support people unstuck, and unleash their life potential.

What I usually help people with:

• Life and career directions
• CV, Cover Letter, Interview skills, job hunting strategies
• Interpersonal relationships – intimate relationships
• Gain self- awareness, clarity to change your default reactive pattern 
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Learn mindfulness meditation and mindful way of living.

What is Coaching?

Coaching is a partnership between coach and client, by working together as a team, it unlocks a person’s potential to maximise their performance. Coaching helps them to learn rather than teaching them.

Most of the Coaching conversations are done by Coach raising questions rather than giving suggestions.

So far Coaching has been defined in many ways by different people, for me, the essence of coaching is:

• To help a person change in the way they wish and helping them go in the direction they want to go.
• Coaching supports a person at every level in becoming who they want to be.
• Coaching builds awareness empowers choice and leads to long-term life transformation.

The last but not least, the coach does not need to be an expert in their clients’ field of work.

What coaching is and is NOT:

• Coaching is about helping you to create a life/career that you want. It holds you accountable to make the change but I will support you and help you along the way, YOUR action is absolutely key.
• Coaching is NOT advice/counselling/therapy, and doesn’t necessarily show you anything new – usually you know what you need to do but coaching can give you a very different outlook and it can raise your awareness and unthought possibilities – to see the world and yourself differently. In that case you can be creative and unleash your full potential to walk towards the life you want to live.
• Coaching is 100% confidential and non-judgmental.
