Coaching Models

I use a range of coaching models and techniques tailored to meeting the needs of my clients.  These include: 

  • GROW (Goal/Reality/Options/What)
  • OSKAR (Outcomes/Scale/Know-How/Affirm & Action/Review)
  • Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Solution-Focused Coaching

My coaching approach is inspired by the Japanese concept of Ikigai—a philosophy that means “a reason for being.” I believe that Ikigai is found at the intersection of four essential elements of life:

  • What you love: The passions and interests that energise and excite you.
  • What you’re good at: The skills and strengths you’ve honed over time.
  • What the world needs: The needs and challenges your work can address.
  • What you can be paid for: How you can turn your skills and passions into a sustainable career.
Maxine and a female client walk down a country road in winter during a 1-1 coaching session, they are wearing woolly hats and there are no leaves on the trees.

Finding your Ikigai means achieving balance among these areas, leading to a more fulfilling and meaningful life. In our coaching sessions, I use the Ikigai framework as a practical tool to help you reflect on and realign your professional and personal goals.

Whether you’re feeling stuck in your current role, struggling with imposter syndrome, or seeking a new direction, the Ikigai model offers a powerful lens through which we can explore your challenges and opportunities. Together, we will identify where you are on your journey and create a path that honours your passions, leverages your strengths, serves the world and sustains you financially.
