Most of us swim in a sea of self-loathing without even realising it.  We judge our bodies as unlovable, our flaws as irredeemable.  We criticise ourselves when we make mistakes as if somehow we believe that this will prevent us from making more mistakes in the future. And so completely do we accept this inner critical voice as speaking the truth that we barely even notice what we’re saying to ourselves.

I have found that bringing loving awareness to these unconscious patterns can be the fastest way to bring about the changes in our life that we say we want.  And I have designed this coaching journey to facilitate exactly that process.

Metamorphosis is an intimate and intensive coaching experience that will take you on the deepest journey to transforming your relationship with yourself, and therefore also everything and everyone around you.

Over our nine months together, we will bring compassionate awareness to all the ways in which you are currently judging and criticising yourself and create an environment in which it becomes possible for you to experience a different version of yourself.  Moving towards self-trust will give you an entirely different perspective on your life.

Rather than beating yourself up for not being where you think you should be, you will come to see the power of being exactly where you are.  You will see, as if for the first time, your own richness and beauty exactly as you are.

Your guide on this journey

Hi, I'm Alice.  I'm a life coach, an EFT practitioner, personality profiler, and all-round adventurer after wisdom.  I will bring all of these tools to our work together, depending on what we agree will best meet your needs on this experience.

I have a lifetime of experience of holding space for people as they explore the deepest questions of their lives.  And six years of experience of the privilege of getting paid to do this.

If you choose to work with me, I will create a container in which you can explore the inner workings of your mind and soul.  I will encourage you when you are feeling scared.  I will reflect the beautiful vastness of your true self back to you.  I will be there for you when it feels difficult.  But I will not rescue you.

I will believe in you, even perhaps when you do not believe in yourself.  And that means that I will always hold on to the truth that you are the only one who can make the choice to step into the fullness of who you are.

I can't promise that it will be easy.  I can promise that it will be worth it.

"I started my coaching work with Alice, and had a laundry list of goals I wanted to accomplish. I thought that hiring someone to hold me accountable for my goals was exactly what I needed. I was a little nervous because I do a pretty good job of beating myself up about not accomplishing things as quickly as I like, but I figured having someone else do it would be more effective. In the end that wasn’t at all what Alice did. She came along side me, and encouraged me to give myself credit for doing hard things. She asked me to think about how I could best prepare to tackle a hard task. She was there to listen as I talked through things that I needed to say, because sometimes I needed to sort out some internal conflicts or grow in a specific way before I was able to accomplish the goal on my list! I have made great strides and accomplished things on my list as well as things I never dreamed I would be able to accomplish. I have also softened the self judgment I struggle with. I have changed and grown so much while working with Alice, and it’s just happened in a most natural way, the way a plant grows when in the proper conditions."

"I was moving city & looking for a new job and was determined not to repeat the pattern of my previous roles - undervaluing my skills & abilities, putting too much pressure on myself, taking on too much, burning out. I was also recovering from a physical illness that had impacted on my mental health and confidence and I knew I needed practical help to rebuild & break the burn out cycle.

At first I wasn’t sure Alice’s approach would suit me - I wanted a formal approach, someone who would hold me to account so I had no choice but to change - but, as we chatted during discovery session, Alice demonstrated that she really understood what I was hoping to get out of the sessions (better than I did!) and explained how we would work to achieve it - by the end of that first chat I had signed up for six sessions!

I hadn’t done anything like this online before but it worked really well and I really appreciated getting the recordings of the sessions so I could listen back to them. Alice was brilliant, nothing fazed her, she created a safe space for me to be completely honest with myself and was able to listen to my incoherent ramblings then ask exactly the right questions to help me figure out what was really going on. Her suggestions were practical & achievable and she gave me the confidence to be realistic about what I could actually do given my situation. The flexibility of her approach meant I didn’t feel pressured or overwhelmed and helped me start to trust myself.

Alice has helped me overcome the fears that were holding me back and this has completely changed how I feel. The negative voice telling me I’m not good enough (which was behind the burn out cycle) has been replaced by quiet confidence, trust and belief in myself. This helped me through my job search and I now have a job that I would have only dreamed about previously.

I realise now that I was always waiting for permission from other people to show what I could do - after working with Alice I now know the only person I really needed permission from was me. I’m finally on the road to achieving my potential and can’t thank Alice enough for helping me to find my way - working with her really has been life changing."
