Focusing Partnerships

Focusing is a guided reflective practice that helps individuals access clarity and insight by attending to their lived, felt experience.

Focusing sessions support leaders and professionals seeking clarity when decisions feel complex, emotionally charged, or difficult to resolve through thinking alone.

It improves your self awareness, mindfulness and prepares you for personal transformation.

Focusing complements coaching, and other processes, by deepening individual awareness and internal clarity.

Focusing is not coaching, therapy, meditation, advice-giving nor problem-solving from the head alone.

Together, we will get focused.

Partnerships tailored to you

Focusing partnerships offer an open, non-judgemental space to internal knowing, often when there are no words to describe your experience yet. Focusing can be used to become clear on what one feels or wants, to obtain new insights about one's situation, and to stimulate change or healing of the situation.

We offer a Focusing as a technique to allow conscious access to that which often remains unconscious or subconscious. This is not therapy or a replacement for therapy of any kind.
