Debbie Lewis - Professional Life Coach and Parent Coach

I have always believed that what most people want is just a little time and space to explore their own ideas, try things out and find their own solutions. But my experience was that often we don't see these solutions and opportunities right in front of us.

After having my daughter I wanted to take a look at my personal and professional life and decide where I wanted to take it. I didn't really know where I was heading so employed a life coach and through coaching I really did begin to see the world through new eyes.

There were so many opportunities that I never knew I had - like running my own business - just waiting for me to take them. I found resources and talents in myself that I never knew where there and found a new energy and passion for coaching.

I was so impressed at the results I decided to train with The Coaching Academy, London - Europe's largest trainer of professional coaches. After a full year's training I graduated with a distinction and their Advanced Diploma in Life Coaching which is accredited by the Open College Network. I went on to train as an NLP Practitioner and gained advanced communication skills to use alongside my coaching .

I now own Curve Coaching providing life coaching, parent coaching and professional training and regularly contribute to local and national media on coaching issues. I love being a life coach and the way it not only finds answers but builds people's confidence, boosts their belief in themselves and sends them off with a whole world full of new possibilities.

Running Curve is the culmination of 10 years working with adults and children in a broad range of jobs from being a nanny, training and consultancy, social worker and therapeutic work.

Alongside my professional coaching qualification I also hold a Masters Degree specifically in social work with children and families. I have qualifications in child development, group work and continue to work for local authorities and large organisations.
