People say ‘money can’t buy happiness’
and yet, if you have money, people expect you to be happy.
So if you find yourself with plenty of wealth, but a deep sense of unhappiness or unfulfillment, what should you do? Eventually, things you can buy will stop feeling like enough. At that point, your best option is to go inwards and focus on your personal growth.
You might find that:
It’s hard to be consistent and find self-discipline without the traditional motivators of making-ends-meet
Your self-esteem is fragile: really high one day, but totally gone the next
Relationships are complicated:
It can be lonely: people resent you for your wealth or just expect you to be happy. Few people actually connect with you as a human being
A lot of the traditional rules of friendships and romantic relationships have fallen apart, and you need to navigate a more complicated world
Trust is difficult: do people care about you, or do they just care about your money?
You judge yourself for feeling unfulfilled, when surely you should have everything you need?
Make use of my decades of training and clinical practice to solve these problems. [about me]
Your route to true, sustained fulfillment is going to be unique to you, but here are some of the things we might do together:
Explore and understand your current psychological framework. How do you currently think, process information and solve problems? How do your emotions work? What bad mental or emotional lessons have you picked up through your life?
Discover your ‘why’. Money can by pleasure, but it can’t buy happiness and it absolutely can’t buy fulfillment. Fulfillment can be found temporarily through work, love, having children, or achieving big things in the world. Lasting fulfillment involves explore your reason for being alive, for fiding your ‘why’. This is deep work that takes time, but that’s why you’re hiring a philosopher.
Heal things that need healing. As a Master Life Coach, my work incorporates tried-and-tested, effective tools for healing psychological problems. So if we discover that there is hurt, trauma or pain lurking inside you that’s holding you back, we can do this work together.
Learning new approaches and perspectives that will change how you experience your life. I teach a lot of these in-session, but there will also be reading to do and you’ll adopt new habits to grow through your own practice and experience.
Constant reflection until new insights are found. By meeting with me regularly, over time, our working relationship will evolve and you will trust me to take you ever deeper into your personal growth. My clients are regularly astonished at the conversations we have, the understanding we find and the depths we access together. It becomes an ever-evolving journey which will regularly surpise you and bring you unexpected results.
You should be prepared to work. This will take energy, focus and sustained effort from you. I will bring a total focus to each session, and I expect you to meet this energy with your own. Some sessions will feel fun and light while we dicuss something in your life. Other sessions will feel deep and heavy and intense. You should be prepared to commit to a life-changing journey of personal growth with me.
How I work:
We begin with a short consultation call, so you can meet with me and see if this feels right for you. This is free and you can book it online here.
If we agree to proceed, we’ll book a single coaching session. Before we meet, you’ll complete your first piece of ‘homework’ called a Life Audit, where you’ll complete an online form that asks you about many different areas of your life. This provides me with lots of initial information, and it will challenge you to begin exploring your life and yourself.
Our first session is always considered a one-off. I am not yet your coach, we haven’t committed to a journey together, this is your chance to assess whether my approach is right for you, and my chance to assess whether you’re ready for this work. You will usually come away from your first coaching session with a much clearer idea about what’s causing the struggles in your life, and I will often give you an idea of our initial ‘project’ (the thing we would begin to look at together).
If we both agree that this is a good idea, you’ll commit to a package of sessions and we’ll dive into regular coaching work together. Each time you run out of sessions in your package, I’ll check with you that you’re still committed to the work and whether we need to shift direction or focus. After you’ve done this for a while, you might shift to an automatic, renewing subscription for coaching sessions.
Some clients stay with me for years (or permanently), but others will reach natural end points or pause points. In these cases, I remain your coach and if you want to come back for one-off sessions to discuss particular issues then you can always get in touch.
