Life Coaching – Dealing with Negative Thoughts

Testimonial from Emma Casson

Depression & Negative Thought Support from NE Life Coach

I must start very simply by saying that I recommend Lou Laggan unreservedly.
With the first face-to-face appointment, it became clear that what I had stepped into was not a series of sessions; rather a series of two-way conversations. These were actual conversations, and they ventured into whatever topic happened to grow naturally from them… And then, every now and then, Lou would raise something insightful that she felt would be beneficial to work through, a detail plucked from the conversation without my realising I had said anything pertinent.
 
Make no mistake, just as the conversations were two-way, so was the path to improvement. For me, there was a need to confront my-‘Self’ in all its many aspects. It has been revelatory in its manifestations, and so worth every moment and every ounce of effort.
My mind had become a valley of ice. Well, now the valley is thawing. I’m getting there, but without Lou I would still be frustrated in my futile efforts to escape my own prison.
 
Expect homework (or ‘self-work’ as would be more accurate); expect to get out of it what you are willing to give; expect to open yourself to new ideas; expect good conversation, and a calm environment; expect the unexpected, especially if, like me, there seemed little hope that anyone could help. Expect to become an alumni of the ‘Lou Laggan School of Giving Yourself A Damn Break’.
 
If you are wondering whether or not to contact Lou, all I can say is that you will not regret doing so. On the contrary, it might just be the finest decision you’ve made for ‘your-Self’ in a long time.

NE Life Coach – Overcoming Negative Thoughts & Building Self-Belief

I approached Lou with a view to her helping my teenage daughter to improve her self-confidence and self-belief in a competitive sporting environment. My daughter had been performing well during practice sessions but became easily distracted by other competitors at competitions and did not perform to the best of her ability.
 
Over a series of 6 sessions, Lou gave my daughter the tools she needed to mentally prepare for competitions, to improve her self-belief,  to stay focussed throughout her performance, and to positively evaluate the results.
 
Lou has explained that this is an ongoing process that requires work. Since beginning the sessions, my daughter has competed several times and the improvement in her self-confidence and self-belief is remarkable and has been noticed by her coach and other parents.
 
My daughter very  much enjoyed each session with Lou and she found her friendly and easy to talk to. I felt comfortable leaving my daughter with her for each session.
 

I feel that the tools Lou has given my daughter have been invaluable and will be useful to her not only in competitions, but throughout her school life and working life.

NE Life Coach – Overcoming Limiting Beliefs

‘I had a coaching call with Lou which was followed up with a tailored meditation to help the issues I wanted to work through. The call itself was fab, Lou was calm, listened and talked through my issues with me. We then carried out a meditation, which was not only relaxing, but also helped me to affirm to myself positive things and leave behind the negative ones, while understanding them. This was followed up by the meditation which Lou sent over for me to listen to each day. I have found that my perspective has shifted and I am able to embrace as well as look at things from a different perspective. I used the affirmations that were part of the meditation to help get me through a pretty scary interview too. Thank you Lou!’

Life Coaching

Lou has been an excellent coach helping me to put a positive twist in my personal life.  I have been very surprised how Lou with her empathy and patience help me to find out thoughts, and beliefs which where holding me back.  I wanted help to grow my confidence and feel better about myself. I loved that a personal treatment plan was prepared for me and after just a few sessions with Lou I was feeling amazing and so full of confidence about myself and what I wanted to do with my life.
I would go as far to say that the results were life changing for me. I had been in a job that I hated for many years but was unsure of I could do anything else. Because of my new-found confidence, I was able to leave my job and I have now started my own business which is something I always felt I could not do. I am very grateful for all the help and support Lou provided me in my own journey. I strongly recommend Lou. She is truly an amazing lady with great skills and full of valuable experience.

I connected with Lou for one of her guided meditations! I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the session and the guided meditation she sent me.

When I met with her there was this piece of my intuition that had been a little bit clouded by my logical mind…that my body needed to dance more!

Through her guidance I discovered in our session together that this was connected with an inability to attract money.

After participating in her guided mediation I started attracting more money!

This week to date I’ve attracted over 100 euros of unexpected income! AAANNNDD I’ve been dancing (starting a new class tomorrow).

I would highly recommend these sessions to anyone who is looking to make a change in their live and who get’s that little nudge from their intuition to work with Lou…it’s totally a sign! ♥ thanks lou

Resilience & Well-being Workshop for School Staff

I was privileged to be part of a group session led by Lou recently.
As a team leader I wanted to embark on some work with my team on mental health.  I wanted us to develop the understanding that we each have a mental health and we are responsible for looking after it, that we can support others in our workplace to look after their mental health and that we can develop resilience which will help us to have a more positive outlook and be less emotionally impacted by the challenges we face in our work in school.
In our initial meeting Lou listened carefully and put together a bespoke full day training event for us.  My staff team came to the day with very differing views – some sceptical, some feeling vulnerable and some happy to embrace what the day had to offer.
Lou was a wonderful facilitator and quickly put everyone at ease with a range of activities that all were willing to engage with.   The day was a mixture of some theory, some sharing, some analysis of where we were emotionally and lots of practical suggestions of how to take control of our inner critic.  We all came away feeling much more empowered – knowing how to broach a conversation with a colleague we think might be struggling or how to initiate a conversation when we ourselves are struggling and most importantly understanding that it’s ok not to be ok.
Thank you Lou for helping us to start the conversation – a conversation that we will revisit regularly as part of our working together.

Best part was having time to unpick and understand my behaviours and a chance to gather useful strategies to move forward positively.  It’s mindful reflection, unpicking behaviours and perceptions in a safe, non-judgemental environment.

I enjoyed the whole experience.  It made me realise that I am not alone and I can do a lot of things to make me feel and manage things in life a bit better.  I would definitely recommend this workshop to others.

Building Belief and Setting Goals Workshop

Had a really interesting morning on Lou’s Belief and Goal Setting course this morning. Lovely to meet the others on the course as well. It was informal, educational and set in an environment where you could just be your self. It helped me see what I had a achieved in my life and hopefully will give me the focus to achieve more. Thanks Again Lou I will be back for more…. even if the cake was not included.

Enjoyed the day, the group activities made me think about things differently and about things I don’t normally consider day to day. It was motivational, helpful, fun and thought-provoking.

The workshop was inspiring, helpful and thought-provoking.  I enjoyed all of it, most probably the group discussions about looking at signs of depression then seeing what everyone else did.  It was interesting, full of good and useful information.

The workshop was inspiring, thought provoking and useful.  The best part for me was understanding the value of self-care and the importance of making time for this in my life.  It’s a great opportunity to reflect and move your life forward so you’re at the centre.

The workshop was great fun, motivational and inspiring.  The best part was being able to analyse thought processes through input from Lou and sorting activities about well-being. It’s an opportunity to take time and space to think about your emotional well-being. A great day of activities, thank you.

Gill Casson

The day was inspiring, motivational and useful.  Thinking about what people feel like and realising I’m not the only one was the best part.  It’s an opportunity to take stock and think about mental health and ways to improve it through self-care.

Loved every minute of it! Enjoyed your stories, your knowledge.  Very engaging.  You’re ideal for this subject!  Really relaxed workshop that makes you think & re-evaluate the important things.

Coaching Workshop

Lou led the session with her usual flair, dealing with any challenge confidently and effectively to gain full buy-in.  Lou is not afraid to do something different to help us change our approach and challenge our usual thinking.  Her training skill and knowledge of coaching and leadership is a tremendous resource to support us with any training, especially short punchy sessions.
