Leadership Coaching - London UK Psychologist - Dr Catherine Sykes

Coaching Approach

I ask the right questions to advance you to where you want to be.

Nothing is scripted or forced. You will benefit from my rigorous training and 25 years of experience in researching, designing and delivering psychological services, which have led to mastering my craft in understanding human minds and behaviour.

I will take you on an honest, open and supportive journey of self-discovery in which we will untangle any psychological blockers and address any psychological issues that prevent you from advancing to where you want to be. I will devise bespoke solutions and interventions that work for you so you can step forward with clarity and confidence.

During our coaching sessions, I will draw upon my experience of coaching leaders and leading teams, as well as my theoretical knowledge in the psychology of success and behaviour change, leadership, cognitive behavioural therapy, cognitive optimisation, and newly emerging research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology. This combination of my experience and knowledge is the foundation of my method to move you forward in your career and personal life.

To help you understand more about the unique process of working with me, here’s the itinerary:

----------------------------------------------------

Coaching Approach

S - Story and Science - I’m interested in your story and the story you tell yourself. The wrong story will limit your potential and success. We will work together to change your inner narrative and let go of anyone else’s story that’s holding you back so we can access your authentic story, which is the key to reaching your full potential.

At the same time, the Science of psychology will help us to establish if there are any patterns of unhelpful behaviours or brain functioning that are holding you back.

T - Tools, Techniques & Training - once we understand the story and the science, I will develop personalised Tools, Techniques and Training to suit your needs.

E - Empower to Experiment - here’s where it starts to get special. I know that tools, techniques and training are not enough to help most people change. We need to understand what happens when you try to change. The tools, techniques and training can make perfect sense but implementing them is not easy. There’s a whole science in the psychology of change. It can be complex. I will Empower you with the right knowledge and support as you Experiment with change.

P - Plan - once we are happy that change is happening and getting easier, we will Plan the ongoing steps in your transformation. I will support you to continue to move forward to where you want to be, being there for you along your journey.
