Alison Smith

How would a session work?

Each session will be as unique as each person having a coaching session. Some people just ring Alison up and 30 minutes later have their solution and she doesn’t hear from them for months. Others see her regularly (weekly or monthly) and others come along for an intensive day and then keep in touch by phone to monitor progress.

The majority, although not all, of sessions do involve use of the Transformation Game or Frameworks for Change process. Other techniques used include use of metaphor, storytelling, meditation and NLP. Although listening and intuition also play a big part.

After agreeing a goal, and sometimes this is a session in its own right, a session might involve:

Insights - connecting to a quality you already posses or being reminded to demonstrate it. These might include: appreciating yourself and others, openness, holding a positive outlook, being sensitive to your needs, taking personal responsibility, seeing beyond appearances, giving yourself freely in service and/or letting the contact be made.

Setbacks - exploring beliefs or emotions that are stopping you from moving forward or currently taking you down the creek. These might include fear (in its many guises e.g. of failure, of success, of being loved, of loving, of being hurt etc), rigidity, resistance, laziness, inferiority or anger.

Mentors - qualities you admire in others. These might include play, trust, understanding, beauty, communication, surrender, integrity, faith, efficiency, joy and/or strength.

Having explored the intention fully a session finishes with an agreement of the steps that are to be taken to manifest it in your life. These have included the following in recent sessions:

Intention to feel fulfilled: Life is an adventure - allow myself to be vulnerable and don’t be impatient.

Intention to have clarity: Conversation required with my partner to share feelings by the end of the week.

Intention to be in my flow: Listen to my intuition and reconnect with those around me.

Intention to teach kids: Love myself.

Intention to be in a loving relationship: Do a well formed outcome for relationship and explore and release high and unrealistic expectations.
