Coaching is a client-led, thought-provoking and creative process, which inspires you to maximize your personal and professional potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My coaching and human-centred practice is grounded in the <a href=\"https:\/\/coachingfederation.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">International Coaching Federation<\/a> (ICF) core competencies, professional training in psychology, extensive experience supporting individuals in complex environments, and many years of work focused on relationships, communication and wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across my career \u2014 in organisational development, higher education, student support and people services \u2014 I\u2019ve supported individuals navigating challenging interpersonal dynamics, significant life or work transitions, and environments characterised by complexity and change. I am also in the process of obtaining certification with the ICF as an Associate Certified Coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I bring a reflective, relational and psychologically informed perspective to coaching, with a strong emphasis on empathy, clarity, values and personal agency. My ongoing formal coaching training further strengthens this foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What this means for clients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You receive thoughtful, grounded, confidential support that helps you explore challenges, clarify direction and navigate complexity with confidence and self-awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-space-between is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-cfe5ce44 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-luminous-vivid-amber-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/drmelhenry.au\/index.php\/services\/coaching-services\/\">Explore how I can support you<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-luminous-vivid-amber-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/drmelhenry.au\/index.php\/contact-us\/\">Get in touch<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/drmelhenry.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/meeting_1698295906-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"Two professionals working side by side at a table\" class=\"wp-image-597\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-luminous-vivid-amber-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/drmelhenry.au\/index.php\/specialities\/\">My Expertise<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supporting individuals to navigate complexity, relationships and personal change People thrive when they have space to reflect, reset and move forward with confidence.
