About

Life Coaching is a talking therapy focused on moving people forward; setting goals & objectives, creating ownership, focus, understanding and achieving balance by addressing what we want to change and how.

Life Coaching encompasses all aspects of life: career, business, relationships, personal growth, health, as well as where & how we want to live. Sometimes it’s about being targeted about a particular area and other times it is about all of it!

Always working in a manner that is client led, Life Coaching allows people to full understand why change needs to happen as well as how to deal with change happening to them.

The time invested in life coaching sessions allows someone:

To speak freely, in confidence, safely and without any hindrance To feel listened to and understood To identify what is working for them and why To identify what is not working for them, what they want to change and why To understand what matters to them and why To create solutions & approaches which they are in complete control of To leave remaining motivated Please note that Life Coaching is not counselling. Deeprooted issues should always be addressed with an appropriate counsellor.

Experience

I am a qualified Life Coach focused on helping people achieve the mindset and goals they desire. In 2012 I became a Member of the National Council of Psychotherapists and since then I’ve been helping clients in all corners of the world to achieve their aims.

I’m an holistic, system and integrative thinker. Sometimes we have to be strategic and sometimes we need to buckle down and take action, albeit a step at a time. What I increasingly appreciate is that both people & places consist of multiple parts all of which impact on the whole; and it is this cumulative and system wide integration that I find fascinating.

Life Coaching is incredibly rewarding. Changes in my own life have involved deeply personal, relationship, career and location based choices. Understanding why these need to happen and working out approaches to attain them is how I bring clarity to an unsettled situation.

My previous career spanned twenty two years in the music industry. I started in the post-room and worked my way up to Senior Director Digital Operations for Europe, South East Asia & Japan.

I have backpacked for a year & a day and I am proud to have gained my Open University degree while holding down my day job.

    Testimonials

    “I knew I needed to make changes in a few areas of my life, but wasn’t quite sure how to tackle them or which to tackle first. A friend suggested I try life coaching. With a friendly and professional approach that set me right at ease from the moment I met him, Michael soon got me on track to working out my next steps and having the courage to take them. I’d highly recommend Michael’s life coaching services to anyone in a similar situation.”, L.H.

    “I was fortunate enough last year to have the opportunity to receive life coaching from Michael Laffey. His approach holistic – looking at my physical and emotional as well as professional well being and I really felt that I was being heard and encouraged every step of the way. Through working with Michael I made profound changes in my life and I cannot recommend him more highly.”, S.A.
