Recovery & Reassessment

Recovery from Serious Illness

I speak from experience when I say that recovery from serious illness can be a challenging journey. The illness or treatment may have affected your physical and or your cognitive capacity, as well as your mental health. Very often you are left with a ‘different you’, and adjustments to the ‘new you’ and finding a new fulfilling life can be demanding. We find ourselves in unchartered waters, on a journey we hadn’t planned to take. At times things may feel bleak.

Coaching can play a role in supporting you in this journey and move towards your new positive future. In my case coaching rescued me, gave me hope, and helped me define and live my new life.

The role of Coaching in recovery:

It helps you find and release resources you never knew you had – both within yourself, and from others
It supports you to identify your strengths and skills, and to find ways of using them in a positive way
It enables you to identify a lifestyle which fulfils you, but works for your ‘new you’, with the different capacities you are working within
It supports you to identify and access support from external resources
It builds confidence and resilience
It supports you to develop and realistic plan to achieve your new chosen way ahead.

The Coaching Process for Recovery

All coaching start with an initial conversation, and then an initial Discovery session (Always free) for you to meet me, identify where you are in your journey, and what you would like to achieve through coaching. From this Intake session we agree a programme of sessions to support you to achieve your way forward. Commonly this is a series of 4 or 6 sessions to start with, and any further sessions can be provided by agreement.
