Mindfulness-based Coaching
For Wellbeing, Resilience and Sustainability

The four core components of Dr Tim's practice using the Spirit Gym approach
Coaching
Facilitating personal development
We practise the principles and methods of self-directed coaching in which the client takes the lead in identifying what interventions will most help them:
1: Cathartic interventions: helping you to process feelings and emotions affecting your resilience
2: Supportive interventions: helping you recognise your personal significance in life and work
3: Catalytic interventions: helping you clarify and determine your own priorities for action
4: Sometimes more informative, prescriptive and confrontational interventions can also be used if the client requests more instructive guidance and as long as these do not undermine their autonomy
Mindfulness
