Spiritual Coaching

What is Spirituality?

And what does being "Spiritual" actually mean?

If you feel the need to explore in more depth, who you are, what you want from life, to make sense of the things that have happened to you, or in the world around you, or simply want to lead a more fruitful, rewarding and meaningful existence then please read on.


Spirituality and “being spiritual” means different things to different people and can be a very difficult concept to pin down. Probably the best place to start is what it definitely is not in the context of this page and the Spiritual Coaching programme that I mention at the bottom of the page.


Being spiritual isn’t about religion or being religious, though for some people spirituality will sit comfortably  along side their religious beliefs. Neither is it about having contact with the departed. The term "spiritualist" often refers to someone who claims to be able to contact people “on the other side” and whilst spirituality explores dimensions that you might not be familiar with at the moment, in this context it isn’t about the type of work that might be carried out by someone who would call themselves a medium for example.


Being Spiritual in this case is about developing a new perspective on life, the world around us, the events that have shaped our lives and continue to do so. But most importantly it’s about gaining a new understanding of ourselves, what drives us and inspires us whilst at the same time identifying our authentic heart felt desires, what we truly want from life.  It's about making sense of things that may have confused us for many years about why our life has taken the course it has, and whether or not we believe we can shape our future or if, to some extent at least, it is pre-determined (it isn't of course but it can sometimes feel that way, and the Spiritual Coaching programme explains why).


Ultimately what we gain from this new understanding is what I call the ability to "live on purpose" and take our life forward with intention and in alignment with our true self and our heart felt desires, basically living an authentic life with clear purpose and meaning.

Working with a skilled Coach

In both of the above scenarios working with an experienced Career Coach will provide you with the opportunity to explore your rationale behind your next career steps or your next choice of course or study in a an impartial, supportive and on-judgmental setting, and also provide the perfect sounding board for making the right decisions when it comes to your career.

Looking at the big picture

Professional development in your chosen field becomes far more effective and manageable when considered in the "whole life" perspective not just in the work or business perspective.    Having a clear plan of your short, medium and long-term development and how that fits into your bigger "life-plan" will ensure that you develop at the most appropriate rate and in the most appropriate ways to that life-plan. 

Unplanned and mismanaged professional development can lead to a number of difficulties and create frustration, even a sense of failure. Working with a coach experienced and skilled in personal and professional development will ensure that you manage your development in the best possible way.

The benefits of career coaching

  • Planned developments fit better with your life as a whole
  • You're much less likely to waste valuable time and money
  • Job choices will be forward steps not sideways or backwards
  • It will be easier to arrange and manage your time for professional development
  • You will be enhancing your chances of goal attainment and success.
