approach

Integral coaching, in plain terms.

A structured, whole-person practice — not therapy, not advice-giving, and not motivational.

01 / what it is

Four domains, one person.

Integral coaching is built on the premise that you don't show up in one domain at a time. Your body shapes your mind. Your relationships shape your work. Your sense of meaning touches all of it. We work across four domains together — not sequentially, but because they're already connected in you.

Somatic

What's happening in your body when you're anxious, when you commit to something, when you say no. The data we usually ignore.

Cognitive

The stories, frameworks, and interpretations that shape what you see. Not rewriting them — noticing them.

Relational

How you are with other people — at work, with friends, in partnership. Often where the pattern is most visible.

Meaning

What matters to you, underneath the things you were told should. What you're actually here for.

02 / what it isn't

A few important distinctions.

Not therapy.
I'm not a licensed clinician. Therapy treats mental-health conditions and often works with the past. Coaching works with the present toward future capacity. If what you need is therapy, I'll say so — and help you find someone good.
Not advice.
I won't tell you what to do. Mostly I'll ask questions, notice things out loud, and hold a container for you to find your own answers — which are usually better than mine anyway.
Not motivational.
Nothing about this process is about getting you hyped up. It's quieter than that. The work is slow, specific, and often uncomfortable before it's useful.
03 / how we'd work

A typical arc.

  1. i.

    Discovery call

    Thirty minutes, free. We talk about what's going on, what you're hoping for, and whether coaching — and me specifically — is the right fit. Often it isn't, and that's fine.

  2. ii.

    Intake

    If we proceed, we do a longer intake. I listen for what's actually being asked, notice what shows up in how you tell the story, and we name a focus for the work together.

  3. iii.

    Sessions

    Usually biweekly, sixty minutes, over four to six months. Between sessions there are small practices to try. We're not doing homework for its own sake — the practices are where the shifts actually happen.

  4. iv.

    Closing

    We end deliberately, not indefinitely. You leave with new capacities, not a dependency. If there's more work later, we can come back to it.

Curious?

The best way to know if this is for you is to talk for half an hour. Book a discovery call whenever works.
