I recently gave an interview on the coaching services we offer,
here are the questions and answers:

What types of coaching do you do? Who are your clients?
I offer classical psychological coaching as well as spiritual coaching.
Everyone can benefit from psychological coaching *** or spiritual coaching.^^^
*** ( = to deal with a certain situation in life etc.)
^^^(= as receiving a deep insight into one's soul will enrich everyone's life. Only this process of making you consciously aware about everything that makes you the 'unique spiritual you' that you are, will enable you to learn how to feel happiness, love, harmony, balance, understanding, growth, wealth, success, friendship and more (once again).

Many people however do come to spiritual coaching/counselling as there is a situation in their lives which they like to change or try to understand. In this case spiritual coaching/counselling will show you the spiritual reason behind it all,
to learn how to change something or how to learn to live with something
while gaining and keeping a positive and empowered mind.

Can you provide a link to a site where we can get to know more about you, the type of work you do and/or the place where you do it?
For all about me and my work, visit:
http://www.guidance-services.timefortalking.com

For classical psychological coaching in particular visit: http://www.psychologist.timefortalking.com

For spiritual coaching in particular visit:
http://www.timefortalking.org.uk

All my coaching is always conveniently provided by phone or via skype.
This way the client can stay in the comfort of his/her own home. Saving on travel time and travel costs and also does not need to meet me, the coach, face-to-face.
Experience has shown that clients prefer it this way.

How did you get into coaching?
After studying psychology at the University of Reading (UK) several years of working as a psychologist followed, providing classical psychological coaching/counselling.

Furthermore I worked as a psychology and language teacher and also in 1996 founded my own company 'timefortalking',

Through synchronicities in my own life the path of spirituality opened up again, which was followed by intensive research and study of numerous holistic fields of knowledge. Thus all the spiritual fields of knowledge formed a new foundation in my life. Classical psychological coaching/counselling for example opened up the door to spiritual coaching/counselling which always proves to show much more complex insights.

Do you have innate qualities, or is it something that you learned?
I am rather perceptive, empathic, friendly, caring and positive.
In a classical psychological coaching session with me my knowledge and experience of varies psychological fields of knowledge always comes through as well. It is kind of intertwined in my sessions at all times.
In a spiritual coaching session, my knowledge and experience of varies holistic fields of knowledge always comes through as well. It is kind of intertwined in my readings at all times. These holistic areas are for example:
Angels, Karma, Universal Laws, Astrology, Reincarnation, Chakra & Crystal work, Water Crystals, spiritual living, Psychology (classical & spiritual).
Naturally you will also benefit from my knowledge of my Psychology degree from University as well as my experience from having worked as a Psychologist
and Coach / Counsellor for many years (classical and spiritual).

What must the person you are helping contribute?
To receive coaching is very much an individual's decision and cannot be forced upon anyone by someone else. People who out of their own free will, seek assistance in their lives or at a certain stage in their lives, can benefit from coaching/counselling i.e. from this kind of communication.
The person needs to invest time and effort into the process of receiving coaching, added with alot of motivation, openness and willingness to apply new techniques to their lives or situations.

Can positive thinking be developed into a habit?
Yes, of course it can, it actually is our innate nature.
Negative thought patterns are actually much more complicated for us to adopt,
though naturally this is difficult to grasp for some.

Eitherway, yes of course we can train ourselves and brains to start replacing negative thoughts with positive ones. With practise this becomes our second nature, again.

What is usually the main obstacle your clients face?
Themselves.
As plain and as hard as this sounds we always only have ourselves as 'the' obstacle we face. Though perhaps someone is keen to change something in his/her life,
but actually going about these changes, which might be painful and requiring alot of effort, might not always be what they expected.

How do you recommend selecting a coach? Should it be someone who has followed the path that he/she wants to? Should it be someone they admire? The person seeking to find a coach needs to feel comfortable with the coach's approach to coaching/counselling.
Reading thoroughly through the coach's website details for example is always a very good start. Also contacting them by email for any possibe prelimenary queries, to see what kind of response one receives and how quickly is a good start. Going for a one-off coaching session initially to see how the coaching plays out in the session is a good idea as well. With me for example first time buyers benefit from reduced rates, to get to know our extreme high quality of all services, we offer reduced rates for first time buyers.

If someone wants to initiate a self-transformation,
what general advice would you give him/her?
Be open and willing to the change within yourself and your life.
When seeking outside help: be motivated and willing to accept the help offered.
Any transformation will take time and might also be a painful experience. Even if the outcome is a more positive and better you, getting there will require to let go of old, well known routines and ways of thinking and dealing with situations.
And any change , even for the better, requires alot of effort regarding your time and mind.


May your day be filled with lots of empowering, white angel light.

What exactly is counselling?

Counselling/Life coaching means communicating about certain issues in your life,
where you feel you would like to change anything or be able to cope with
in a better and more positive way.

It's all about receiving professional support and also
realizing you are not alone feeling like you are.

It very much has to be an individual's decision
and cannot be forced upon anyone by someone else.
People who out of their own free will, seek assistance in their lives
or at a certain stage in their lives, can benefit from counselling.

For clients to experience a benefit in counselling
time, effort, motivation and openness/willingness is needed.

Re: time: It might take more than a few counselling sessions to be able to guide the client onto their new and improved path.

Re: effort: Dealing with anything complicated or frustrating in life, always requires effort, as there will be certain exercises/homework exercises for clients to do.

Re: motivation: Motivation is also essential, as without this a client will not follow through any counselling sessions and work that comes with this.

Re: openness/willingness: Similar to the motivation by not being willing to listen to offererd guidance, ideas, solutions, etc. it's impossible for the psychologist to help the client.

One trap people often fall into when seeking counselling is the following.
They think by only 'sitting through' any counselling session just this 'attendance' will change their lives. However the sessions themselves can only provide the guidance, ideas, solutions, tasks/homework exercises etc.
but the actual change in the person will have to take place in their own 'additional' time, when they apply the provided information, and practise helpful skills,
from their counselling sessions.

It's similar to trying to loose weight. If someone gained alot of weight over 15 years for example, the weight will not shift miraculously by sitting and talking with someone for one hour. Alot of time, effort, motivation and willingness needs to put in by the client as well to loose the weight again.

However by putting in the time, effort, motivation as well as being open and willing to listen and try to take in the ideas etc. counselling, may it be psychological or spiritual counselling will be a life changing activity for the client.
With clients gaining a more positive outlook, positive changes to their lives
and generally be and feel much more empowered for their lives as well.
The latter will even enable them to stand much stronger when they are faces with any possible, future difficult time in their lives.

Wishing you strength and wisdom for your chosen life path.
With lots of empowering, white angel light.
