The language in the life coaching world can often sound clichéd. Everything’s about “empowering your authentic self” and “unleashing your limitless potential.” After a while, it starts to sound more like a motivational poster than a real conversation.
That’s not what this is.
This isn’t life coaching with a cheesy grin and fairy tail success stories. I’m down-to-earth, straight-talking, and not here to recycle mantras. This is for men who want genuine change—not just a motivational buzz. No jargon. No hype. Just honest conversations and tools that actually help you change your life for the better.
I Use Motivational Interviewing — Because Real Change Starts with Real Talk
One of the key tools I use in coaching is something called Motivational Interviewing (MI). It’s not as fancy or fluffy as it sounds — but it is incredibly effective. Whether you’re trying to cut down on drinking, take better care of your health, sort out your priorities, or just stop feeling so stuck, MI helps you get moving in the right direction — for the right reasons.
So, what is it?
Motivational Interviewing is a proven, no-nonsense approach to behaviour change. It’s a structured, down-to-earth conversation style designed to help you explore your own motivations, get honest about what’s holding you back, and work out what change actually looks like for you. Not what society says. Not what your mate reckons. Not what you think you “should” do.
There’s no lecturing. No pressure. And absolutely no life coaching jargon. Just real talk — the kind that helps you hear yourself clearly for the first time in a while. It’s not always comfortable. In fact, it can feel a bit awkward or confronting at times but that’s when things start to happen.
Here’s how it works:
- You talk. I listen — properly.
- I ask the right questions — not to fix you, but to help you figure things out.
- We explore your ambivalence — the push-pull of wanting change but feeling stuck.
- You uncover your own reasons for change — and start to build momentum that actually lasts.
It’s respectful, collaborative, and rooted in your autonomy — you’re in the driver’s seat the whole time. I’m just there to hold up the mirror, point out the blind spots, and help you work through what’s actually getting in your way.
Motivational Interviewing isn’t therapy. It’s not a lecture. It’s a powerful, practical conversation that helps you move from “I don’t know where to start” to “Right — let’s do this.”
The service I offer is informal and friendly, but with a clear sense of structure and purpose. Think of it like having a relaxed chat down the pub — only this time, the conversation’s all about you, not your mate’s latest drama. It’s down to earth, focused, and genuinely about helping you move forward.
