Participant Testimonials
“I found Bairbre’s supervision to be an imperative support for my coach practice. While Bairbre is skilled in many coaching supervision areas, I find her focusing-oriented lens in particular to be highly effective in bringing another dimension to the supervision process. I found by tuning into what’s going on in the body revealed additional information, which was critical input to exploring the issue(s) at hand as it enabled me to reflect more holistically. Bairbre’s vast expertise in the area of focusing coupled with her gentle, supportive approach provides a very unique and powerful supervision solution.”
“Bairbre’s kind and compassionate approach really set the tone in creating a nurturing space in which to learn and have fun while doing so.
For me personally on completing the course, I have a much greater sense of calm, grounding and confidence in myself. This has already stood to me in my coaching practice, in my corporate career and in my personal life.
As a newly qualified coach I found the Focused Oriented Coaching course really cemented my coaching style. All of the many rich interactions throughout the course, both in class and through our one-to-one partnerships, gave me the confidence to further refine and creatively put into practice the skills I had previously developed as a coach, at a much deeper level.
Whether you are a newly qualified coach or a coach veteran, I would highly recommend this course to all. All you need is the curiosity, intent and willingness to discover what lies deeper within each of us.”
‘The coaching sessions with Bairbre have made an invaluable impact on both my work and personal life. Initially the focus was on enhancing my performance at work and developing my personal leadership skills during a very busy period of transition and growth. Bairbre helped improve personal understanding of strengths and areas for improvement as well as actions to help personal development. While Bairbre has significant leadership experience, she was able to empathise with challenges and was also well equipped professionally to deal with some personal issues which emerged from the coaching process. With a broad range of skillsets and experience, coupled with a wonderful way with people, I highly recommend Bairbre as someone who can help facilitate effective personal development and fulfilment in all aspects of life.’
‘I was delighted to have the opportunity to join Bairbre’s on her Focusing-Oriented Coaching program to deepen my work. Bairbre’s eight step coaching model and comprehensive framework has given me the tools that I was hoping for. The course structure and design supported my progressive learning very well. I’ve now incorporated Focusing-Oriented Coaching into my practice as either as a part of a session or centering a full session around it, and my experience is that the impact can be significant. It fosters an increased bodily awareness and evokes a self-compassion which I believe can be a catalyst for change. I highly recommend this program. Bairbre’s wealth of experience and expertise are woven into every aspect, which I enjoyed immensely.’
“Extremely adept at coaching at a deeper level, Bairbre went the extra mile to raise my awareness about my behaviour and choices. Our supervision sessions have contributed invaluably to my personal growth as an executive coach. I cannot recommend Báirbre enough.”
