Worklife Coaching
When two minds are better than one
Is something to do with working life bothering you? Have you lost interest or wondering if you might be better off elsewhere? Perhaps you're feeling overworked, over-scheduled or overwhelmed? Maybe you’ve checked in at Burnout Hotel?
If this sounds like you, you’re not alone anymore.
I know about all those places and can help you find the way forward that's right for you.
People seek my help when they've run out of options, feel stuck and are not sure what to do.
What does a coach do?
Coaches help people achieve things. Sports coaches, for example, help athletes realise performance goals and personal best dreams.
A worklife coach helps people better manage issues to reduce their impact on their wellbeing, relationships and/or performance at work.
I have a particular interest in helping professionals reduce work-related stress and recover from burnout.
I also help people find work-life balance and ways to reduce stress caused by issues outside of work.
What is coaching?
I often describe coaching like a journey we'll take together.
We will explore where you are, where you want to be and how you can get there.
You are the driver, you choose the destination. Through exploratory questions I provide the transport and together we co-create the route you’ll take to get there.
Partnering like this, you get the time and space to reflect on what you truly want and how to make it happen in the way that works best for you.
What can you be coached on?
Whilst people can be coached to change anything in their lives, I specialise in helping people who are feeling stuck, stressed or struggling with things related to work or that are impacting their ability to do their job.
I can help you:
-
Prepare for a new role or additional responsibility
-
Feel comfortable with workplace change
-
Cope better in situations you find difficult
-
Resolve issues that keep you up at night
-
Figure out your next career move
-
Reduce feeling stressed
-
Recover from burnout
-
Return to work after sickness absence
-
Ready for retirement
Wondering if coaching is for you?
If you've not worked with a coach before you may be feeling a little sceptical or unsure.
To help you decide if it's the right approach for you, I offer everyone a fee-free, no-obligation discovery session.
This gives us the opportunity to explore what you are looking to get from coaching and discuss how we might work together to bring about the change(s) you are seeking.
I call this an Advance call. It costs you nothing and you get to learn what it would be like to partner with me in resolving your issue and ask any questions you might have.
Get started
If you are feeling stuck, stressed or struggling due to something at work or, if your ability to do your job is being impacted because you're worried about something, let's talk.

What coaching isn't
Coaching is solution-focused, not problem-focused. This means, unlike counselling, we will focus on your present and your future. We will not spend time dwelling on your childhood or past experiences, unless it's relevant to the goal we're moving towards.
Coaching also isn't mentoring. I don't provide advice nor tell you what to do. I believe you are the expert on your situation and know which action or strategy is right for you.
My only focus when coaching is to empower you to choose the action that best serves you, the situation and your wellbeing.
Take care of you.

I know that coaching is not yet a common approach to resolving issues that's why I have written an FAQ and offer everyone a free discovery session.

What my clients say
Worklife Coaching
If not for Tracey, I would have allowed things to get worse
I have worked with many coaches and can highly recommend Tracey as a very effective wellbeing coach.
She helped me notice tension in the body related to my unhappiness with my work situation and showed me how to 'feel' what was going on. I could not have done this without help and, if not for Tracey's coaching, would probably have allowed the situation to worsen. I have since dealt with the situation and am much happier.

Discovered what's important to me
Following my stroke, I often struggled with some well-meaning social interactions. I reached out to Tracey for help and during the discovery call she said I might become upset if others’ actions didn’t align with my expectations.
I went on to work with Tracey who helped me uncover my relationship values using a very practical and easy process. Effortlessly taking large amounts of information from me, accurately summarising my thoughts and helping me to focus on what matters to me.
By the end of the session I had a list of my core values which has enabled me to enjoy socialising again, an important step in my recovery journey.

She just gets it
I always feel like I can bring my 'whole self' to coaching with Tracey as she listens without judgement.
She has this knack of just 'getting it'. Such a skilled and empathic listener, she somehow manages to summarise all my 'waffle' into coherent and concise themes.
In just one session, she totally understood my imposter feelings and helped me to reconsider and reframe things.
I left feeling quietly confident about my career goals and shifted from thinking 'what if I get found out' to thinking 'actually, I'm gonna smash this!'
