Life coaching for Relocation

I was asked by Channel 4’s
‘A Place in the Sun’ magazine to coach ten competition
winners, helping them turn their relocation dreams into reality. So if
you too are into the idea of relocating, read on...
Do you pore over travel and foreign property magazines,
imagining your ideal life somewhere else?
Have you always yearned to move overseas but never
quite got there? Perhaps you know exactly where it is you want to be.
Are you considering a long-distance move within
the UK?
Or maybe your circumstances
dictate that you have to move away or live abroad but you don’t
really feel emotionally prepared to go?
There are myriad books, magazines and TV programmes
out there packed with advice about the nuts and bolts of relocating and
moving abroad – buying and selling property, packing, legal issues
etc – but very little time is spent on the emotional side of a big
move. People like friends and family, who would normally be your primary
source of support, probably don’t want you to leave them behind
and so find it hard to be completely impartial and supportive.
Sometimes, people make the choice to move away
or go abroad for the wrong reasons. They might be escaping a lacklustre
career or relationship, for example, and see moving abroad as their emergency
exit strategy. Or they might be trying to simplify their life and don’t
realise that they have unreasonable expectations of their new life. This
can result in an expensive and emotionally draining mistake.
With this in mind, I have put together a special
ten session relocation-coaching package, designed for people who are considering
moving away.
Often it is difficult to talk about moving with
loved ones – you may feel you can’t ‘play’ with
ideas without being seen to have made a decision, or you might be worried
about how your listener would be affected by your move and feel that you
have to shield him or her from your true thoughts.
During our time together you will have the space
and time to explore your feelings and
motivations about relocating without any of these worries. Depending on
your circumstances, you will identify whether moving away is the right
choice for you, where you want to be, when you want to be there and what
needs to be in place for you to make the move smoothly and with the minimum
of pain.
We will explore your expectations, define your
goal clearly, look at how your identity is likely to change, timescale
your ideas and look at budgeting as well as dealing with your specific
moving issues – children, work, pets etc.
The suggested timing of your ten sessions is two
months of two sessions each to get things rolling, then one session a
month for the next six months. However, this can be redesigned to suit
your needs and timescale. The cost for this package is £500 if paid
up front, a saving of £100 on the normal cost of 10 sessions (click

Together, we will design the life you want and
the location you want to live it in and we’ll put a plan together
to get you there.
