Isn’t Life Coaching just the next fad?
No, it is something which has been happening for a very long time but now it has come into focus, more people are taking steps to become qualified. It is essential to ask your coach about the qualifications that he/she has.
Isn’t it hard to make a leopard change his spots? How will I change?
We all develop habits and these sometimes create barriers and prevent us achieving what we want to. A Life Coach will work with a client to replace them with different systems that will enable them to achieve and grow.
Will I become reliant upon my coach?
No, because your coach is only there to enable you set up strategies, to help you think more effectively and to find your own answers. Very soon you are able to change things for yourself as you become more focussed and more aware of what works for you. Your coach is there to share your journey but the answers lie within you.
My child is lazy: what can I do?
Very few dyslexic children are lazy, in fact they work very hard and have to run to keep up with everyone else. Often they are unsure or daunted by the task ahead and seem slow to start. The biggest gift you can give your child is self-belief and self-worth, encouraging her/him to begin with bite-sized chunks, not the whole task.
My child finds it difficult to remember the order of things, is there anything we can do to support them?
Dyslexic children need to have something which will trigger the right answer
for them, so I usually give them a mnemonic. To remember the planets in the
correct order I say this sentence
My Very Energetic Mum Jumps Susan Up, Never Peter.
Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto
There are 2 M’s so I say the one next to Earth must be Mars as people on Earth eat Mars Bars.
What if the therapist does something I don’t like e.g. touching my ears?
A therapist working with a client for the first time will ask the client to fill out and discuss a questionnaire. Your therapist will discuss briefly what will take place during the treatment and it is at this time that you would be able to explain anything that would make you uncomfortable, such as having your ears touched.
A therapist in tune with a client will quickly be aware if he/she is unhappy or uncomfortable.
