Brighter Futures:
Results Coaching for Stressful Events & Serious Issues
What is on offer?
We all have times in our lives when some extra support to talk things through, make plans for the future and take steps towards our goals would help us get back on track.
Result Coaching can support you to cope effectively with a range of stressful life events. Through a series of structured conversations, our trained coaches can enable you to explore the current issues, focus on solutions and make plans to achieve realistic and attainable goals. The coach’s role is not to direct or give advice, but rather to enable you to come up with your own targets and action plans. Coaching is about getting the best out of your life by focusing on what you can change rather than dwelling on things that you cannot.
Coaching aims to build your confidence, motivation and resilience; key strengths which will enable you to take control of your life and plan for a positive future.
Our service is provided by telephone, so is accessible to everyone. If you have transport issues, a disability, or simply prefer not to meet face-to-face, your needs can be met by our professional and confidential service.
Is this service right for you?
Coaching is designed to support you to deal with specific issues in your current situation and to plan and achieve successful outcomes by focusing on solutions rather than problems.
Coaching does not aim to resolve more deep-seated issues from the past, which would be more effectively explored by a counsellor or psychotherapist.
Examples of issues that may be effectively supported by coaching include:
- Coping with redundancy or retirement
- Coming to terms with a diagnosis of illness
- Returning to work after a period of ill-health
- Sexuality or ‘coming out’ issues
- Post-natal planning
- Moving on after bereavement
- Relationship difficulties
- Stress management
There is no cost to the client in using our service, which has been funded through Cumbria County Council. We can only accept a limited number of people for this free service; therefore an initial telephone assessment will enable us to select those clients who meet the criteria.
How to access our service
We can offer up to six sessions of coaching to suitable clients. Sessions are generally 45 - 55 minutes long and take place at a mutually agreed time. All telephone calls are made by the coach, so costs are met by our service, not you.
You can find out if you are eligible for our service by contacting us by telephone or e-mail for an initial short assessment. We can also signpost you to other support services, if they would meet your needs more effectively.
If accepted for our service, you will be assigned one of our coaches (we have male and female practitioners available) who will then contact you to arrange your first appointment. During the first call we will take you through a brief questionnaire to help us understand your needs and to collect some basic information that we need.
You can get further information on the coaching process, confidentiality guidelines and answers to any other questions that you may have by contacting us on:
