If you chose to engage with Clive in his capacity as Coach, we will use a form of coaching known as Somatic Coaching. This is the art and method of accessing, through an open and mindful dialogue, the knowledge and wisdom of the body, and leveraging that wisdom to effect change. It is the tuning out of the mind, and the tuning in of truly embodied awareness.
This differs substantially from the goal orientated, often reductive norm that is ‘Life Coaching’. There is no pressure or agenda set by the coach, the content of the conversation and any actions set out by the client are entirely driven by the client and the wisdom uncovered in session.
The subject or area of your personal inquiry is entirely up to you; Coaching is not mentoring, by which I mean there is no ‘advice giving’, it is about tuning into what you, the client, already knows, and cutting away the limits and ruminations of the mind. It is, at its core, a generative and potentially transformative framework for conversation. Not with the coach, but with the self. The coach merely acts as the facilitator for that dialogue.
If you would like to book a session with Clive for 1 to 1 or group coaching, please get in touch using the contact form.
Conversations can take place in person or online via Zoom or Telegram.
