Imelda Gillespie-Wilkinson

I aim for Interactive sessions with dynamic coaching techniques which challenge, change & expand a person. Sometimes the work includes storytelling, metaphor & art. At the same time, I like mixing creative with traditional learning strategies using NLP for a wide range of personalised interactions. As I'm an Arts and Humanities graduate who reads a lot & enjoys good cinema, art and music, I incorporate those along with philosophy and literature whenever appropriate. The Arts help to identify and handle the deep questions of being human. Language for transformation, and imagination are at the heart of what I do, both as ways for helping people grow and also to help my clients find their own key to a happy and fulfilling experience of life. I speak Spanish & Portuguese on top of my native English, so I also work with adults & young people from those countries too. Many of my young clients are adolescents who feel that they just don't "fit in". Sometimes this is a question of personal confidence or a need for more flexible social skills. For others, they feel a lack of real friends or are blocked by negative self-image. For some there are deeper questions that are coming to the surface that need to be listened to in confidence. Some, but not all of these questions are beyond the scope of a coaching relationship. They may instead benefit from the help of a medical practitioner. If I think that's the case, I'll let you know. The first session is free. That way we can meet online for a chat without pressure to see if I can help.
