OULD you love the confidence, focus, and selfbelief to go after what you want in your life? Life coach, Kate Harris explains that it is often our thoughts and beliefs that hold us back…. that feeling of not being good enough, the lack of clarity about where we are going, the fear that we are not in control of our lives or don’t have what it takes to succeed. Life coaching can help you to clarify what you really want, to identify what might be holding you back and to overcome these obstacles, many of which are only imagined or the result of habitual ways of thinking. Kate said: “In days gone by, our ancestors might have turned to a trusted wise woman or village elder for help when they needed guidance. In the modern world, a life coach fulfils a similar role but with the added benefits of modern day insights into psychology and brain function.” So, how does life coaching work? A life coach is a qualified professional who works alongside you to support you on your journey from where you are now to where you want to be. Kate said: “A life coach won’t tell you what to do because, actually, all of the answers are already inside you, you just may not realise it yet! I will help you to access your own inner resources using a range of proven tools and techniques and support you to create the life you want.” No two sessions are the same
because they are based on what the individual needs in that moment. However, they may include: goalsetting and planning; visioning your future life; tackling anxiety and stress; identifying limiting beliefs and how to change them; improving confidence and self-esteem, and being held to account for commitments that you’ve made. People may turn to the support of a life coach at times of change, when life feels difficult or challenging, when they are faced with making an important decision, when they have lost their direction or sense of identity, or simply when they feel the need for more support in their life. Kate has a background as an occupational therapist within the NHS. She has worked in mental health for her entire career, specialising in self-esteem issues, anxiety management, confidencebuilding and goal setting. She is qualified in cognitive behavioural therapy, counselling and life coaching, along with many other therapeutic skills. l For more information visit: www. kateharrislifecoaching.com

Angels in your life

NGELS have no philosophy but love, said quotation anthologist,Terri Guillemets. Helen Stott, who works with angels and archangels said: “One of the misconceptions about angels is that they are linked to Christianity. Actually, the word “angel” means a messenger between earth and the divine, or universal, source. Messengers are found in almost all faiths, although with different names.” She reminds us that St Thomas Aquinas said: “Angels as beings of Light transcend every religion, every philosophy, and every creed. Angels have no religion as we know it. Their existence precedes every religious system that has ever existed on Earth.” Maybe you have noticed that growing numbers of people around the world talk about how angels have helped them, or consider how they might bring them into their lives. Helen believes this is because angels bring hope, direction, support - a different awareness of ourselves and companionship. She said: “People are drawn to their beauty, light and high vibrational frequency.”

Helen Stott Helen believes that the angelic realm is happy to work with us in whatever way we are comfortable and now more than ever their help is needed. She said: “Angels can offer a deep and profound healing for both ourselves and our planet at this time. I work most deeply with the Archangels. They have shown themselves as gate-keepers to the wisdom and teachings of the Sacred Seven Rays of Creation, working with colour and vibration to link us back to the knowledge and healing of Source. To me it feels the right time to bring these ancient teachings into day to day consciousness, to be accessed and used by everyone.” l Helen offers one to one sessions, meditation groups and workshops.
