PERSONAL COACHING BY AN ICF-QUALIFIED COACH
Lesley Viet
Coaching Services
Hi, I’m Lesley
I am a qualified ICF (International Coaching Federation) coach and offer personal coaching either online or face to face.
Through active listening, powerful questioning and an empathic, person-centred approach, I help you navigate critical decision points, professional or personal crossroads and those pivotal moments when the way forward isn’t immediately clear.

SCROLL TO EXPLORE

“Every person is naturally creative, resourceful and whole.” Eric Berne.

Pioneer of coaching, Eric Berne, believed that people do not need to be fixed or rescued from their own experience. The answers often lie within themselves, and a skilled coach can help bring them into focus with increased self-awareness.

Finding clarity.  Moving forward.

Coaching gives you space to step back, see what truly matters and explore your choices, safely, with an impartial person to guide you. You will gain perspective, clarity and confidence to move forward in a way that feels right and possible for you.

Begin with where you are now.

Coaching starts with what’s happening in your life right now. Together, we explore what matters to you today, what may be holding you back and what could help you move forward.

My approach

Successful coaching begins with a relationship built on trust and emotional safety. I create a confidential space where you can speak openly, explore what may be feeling difficult or unclear, and make space for new thinking to emerge.
I abide by the professional standards and ethics of the ICF and commit to maintaining a mindset of curiosity, impartiality and non-judgement.
I bring warmth and understanding to our conversations, while noticing patterns and ways of thinking that may be shaping how you see a situation. I won’t simply agree with everything you say. I’ll ask thoughtful, sometimes challenging questions to help you examine assumptions, see things from a different perspective and uncover possibilities you may not have considered.
The direction of travel is always forwards. I help you to stay focused and grounded and guide you towards setting goals that are realistic and meaningful to you. I encourage you to be accountable to yourself. I help you find the courage to let go of things that are limiting your potential and make the positive changes that will serve you, going forward.
Coming soon: SHINE — a unique self-empowerment program centred on building your confidence, setting goals and defining guiding principles that will carry you forward in your professional life.

About me

Throughout my career, three elements have been consistently present: languages, communication and working with others to achieve their full potential, both professionally and personally.

I felt strongly drawn to the professional practice of personal development coaching and undertook a rigorous training course with the ICF-accredited provider Aspire (www.aspirecoachtraining.com) to become formally qualified. I am convinced that this is a natural development in my career path.

As a person, I have natural empathy and strong interpersonal skills. Thanks to my ICF training and former work as an interpreter, I have developed acute listening skills and have learned to instinctively hear the meaning of what people say, rather than just hearing the words. I have developed my capacity to listen and guide without judgement, to have safe ethical boundaries while always wanting the best for the person I am working with.

I live in Godalming, Surrey and have lived and worked in Paris, Copenhange and Stockholm. I have 2 grown-up children.
