07 — ServiceStrengths-Based Coaching

“What if, instead of asking ‘What's wrong with me?’, we started with ‘What's already right with me?’”

We often spend our lives focusing on what we need to improve.

DISCOVER
Understand your unique strengths profile.
Key strengths • What comes naturally
UNDERSTAND
Explore how your strengths show up.
Underuse • Overuse • Everyday life
LEVERAGE
Learn to intentionally use your strengths.
Real-life situations • Challenges
INTEGRATE
Bring your learning into everyday life.
Reflection • Mindfulness • Strengths-based practices

But Positive Psychology asks us to look at another part of the picture:

What are your strengths?

As a Master of Applied Positive Psychology and Strengths-Based Coach, I use evidence-informed strengths approaches to help people understand what they naturally bring to their work, relationships, studies and lives.

Using tools such as VIA Character Strengths and Strengths Profile, we explore:

Your key strengths
What comes naturally to you
What energises you
How your strengths show up in everyday life
Which strengths you may be underusing
Which strengths you may be overusing
How your strengths can help you navigate challenges

Because a strength can become unhelpful when it is used too much, too little or in the wrong context.

It is to know how to use them.

पूर्ण (PŪRṆA)

Wholeness |Fullness |Completeness

It is rooted in the belief that you are not broken, you do not need fixing, and you already carry within you many of the resources you need to navigate life.

Framework

Purna — You are already whole.

At the heart of my work is Purna, a Sanskrit concept that speaks to wholeness and completeness.

Across my work, I bring together Applied Positive Psychology, Positive Education, strengths-based approaches, CBT-informed coaching, neuroscience, mindfulness and self-compassion.

My role is not to tell people who they should become. It is to create spaces where they can pause, understand themselves more deeply, reconnect with their strengths, develop resilience and discover their own ways forward.

PURNA is my way of bringing the science, the tools and the human experience together. It is to help you develop the clarity, confidence and self-trust to make choices that feel more aligned with who you are and what matters to you.

The PURNA Approach

My work is guided by five interconnected principles:

P — Presence
Creating space to slow down, notice and become more aware of what is happening within and around us.
U — Understanding
Understanding our thoughts, emotions, behaviours, strengths, relationships and the mental models through which we experience life.
R — Resilience
Developing the capacity to navigate challenges, adapt to change and move forward without needing life to be free from difficulty.
N — Nurturing
Cultivating self-compassion, connection, rest, strengths and practices that nourish our wellbeing.
A — Agency
Moving from awareness to choice by recognising your values, resources and the actions available to you.
