Coaching

"You cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it.  You must learn to see the world anew."   
Albert Einstein






Coaching is an open and honest partnership which enables you to see the world from a different view point and so be the very best version of you. 

Through thought-provoking questioning and challenge it can:

  • help you understand your own behaviours and adjust those that impede your progress.
  • raise awareness of limiting beliefs which could be holding you back.
  • improve confidence.
  • help recognise your values and what is important to you.
  • help develop goals for personal, professional and business development as well as a plan to achieve all of these things.


ICF is the International Coaching Federation.  They provide professional development, accreditation and guidance to coaches worldwide.

  • Maintain the ethics and standards of behaviour established by the International Coaching Federation.
  • Keep you safe and provide the most appropriate coaching experience in which you can relax and explore.
  • Respect the confidentiality of the agreements we make.
  • Listen carefully to what you say and ask questions that increase awareness.

What I expect from you

  • Communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance and to create the time and energy to participate fully in the process.
  • Keep me honestly informed as to what is and what is not working for you.
  • Agree to engage in a minimum of four sessions of coaching via whichever means suits us best.

About Me!

Wendy Tungate

After twenty years of teaching in primary schools and mentoring student teachers, I have now stepped away from the classroom to focus on coaching.  Having completed a MA Education (leadership and management), I became fascinated with the benefits and processes of coaching.  I completed my International Coaching Federation (ICF) accredited training with Barefoot Coaching and am completing my Post-Graduate Certificate in Personal and Business Coaching.

My approach

I am a great believer in 'The mind that holds the problem, holds the solution'.  I use a range of tools,  strategies and questioning to help clients see a different view of themselves and the world around them.  I am happy to coach whilst meandering around the countryside (with or without my dog), online or face to face.  All I ask is that you are open and honest with me and yourself.

What are the basics?

Coaching is an opportunity to create a safe space and time for you to think about you.  It is a trusted partnership between coach and client which focuses on the needs of the client at any given time.  It works on the principle that you are a whole person with strengths and weaknesses.  You are not broken, and I am not there to fix you.

Testimonials

This is my space and no-one else can take it away - something I would never have said before working with Wendy.  Even now, I hear her voice when I am faced with a new challenge and it helps me to speak up for myself - J

I never thought having time to just think would be so valuable.  Wendy's non-judgemental approach has made me realise I have been putting things off because I thought they were too difficult.  Turned out they weren't - E

Wendy is an amazing coach to work with.  Over the last few months, she has helped me to unlock my confidence and take action on things I was putting off and holding myself back from doing.  She's an incredibly warm and supportive individual who creates such a loving, trusting space (I've even danced in front of Wendy in a session - not something I'd do in front of any coach) - K

If you are looking for a thoughtful, inspiring and compassionate coach, it would be well worth your time connecting with Wendy. I felt listened to from the beginning and comfortable discussing things I had not even thought of talking about to anyone else. She is someone you can say anything to knowing there will be no judgement. Wendy asked me questions I had never before thought to ask myself. She enabled me to believe in myself, nuture self-compassion and move forward with a renewed sense of ownership in my life and personal ambitions. - R

FAQs

What is coaching?

  • Coaching is a forward-looking process which can help you conquer any stumbling blocks that might come your way.  On occasion it may require some reflection on past events in order to understand current thinking.  It is professionally regulated, requires formal training and has many specialisations.

Coaching is NOT therapy?

  • Therapy often focuses on an event or trauma at some point in the past and helps you to understand its impact.  It is also professionally regulated, requires formal training and has many specialisms within it.  Therapy may deal with specific mental disorders or disease and may work alongside medical doctors.

    How long is a coaching session?

    This varies from client to client but between one to one and a half hours is normal.

      How many sessions will I need?

      This depends on the individual but often six is a good guide.

      Where do we meet?

      Somewhere you are comfortable and private.  I have an office in my home, we can meet outside or online.

      When are you available?

      I am available 11.30am - 3.00pm or 6.30pm - 8.30pm during the week.
