Often the opening and closing place of Personal Consultancy, Deep Listening is the note that is played throughout all sessions whilst the melody of content plays around it. This phase is all about presencing with you and being with the existing patterns that are currently playing in your life.
It's a space for reflection: observing, clarifying, summarising, receiving feedback.
This kind of attentive listening is deep, authentic and stimulating. It asks you to do your best thinking, perhaps being or learning to become vulnerable and raw. It supports you to go to the edges of what you already know, gives space for assimilating new knowledge and allows you to come to terms with different ways of perceiving.
You'll start to hear yourself, become more self-reflective and ultimately grow into your own coach.
"Natalie is a great listener and was attentive to my goals and issues. She was gentle, insightful and succinct. She allowed me to explore different modes of coaching and also introduced me to some counselling methods which expanded my sense of metaphor. I became more self-aware of the role of creativity in my thinking.
Natalie is the perfect personal consultant for someone exploring life and their own personal desires. She worked well on the creative and ‘heart’ side of my yearnings and was respectful of my ‘voice’."
