What clients say

"I want to thank Zangmo Alexander for her help and support with some serious issues in my life. She is a caring, supportive individual that can almost see into your soul. She has helped me clarify many recent issues plus helped with an "action plan" for dealing with these issues. Her coaching is incredibly astute and personal. I would recommend those of you considering coaching to contact Zangmo."

- K.G. Thetford

​

"I have come such a long way with Zangmo as my coach, her help and support on a professional and personal level has been invaluable. I'm currently setting myself up as a hypnotherapist and she's been brilliant, both in helping me edit my website's content, and supporting me with personal issues that have stood in my way. When I've lacked confidence and even felt like giving up, it's been so wonderful to have Zangmo there, fighting my corner every step of the way.

I've found that Zangmo's training as an artist has been invaluable, she's helped me see that I am also creative. I've even made some art work to help me express how I wanted to move forward, which I've found so healing and nurturing. She is also very good at keeping me focused, gently but firmly bringing me back to my intention for each session. I have found this very professional, it has helped me gain clarity in my thoughts and actions. I did have a previous life coach who let me wander all over the place, which just meant I was self indulged and got very little done. Personally, I think everyone could benefit from the input of a dedicated and professional coach. Zangmo is  creative, dedicated, and professional, the perfect mix. I cannot praise her highly enough."

-J.G. London

​

"I feel amazingly freed - I don't feel as if I am now carrying round the burdens I was carrying when I walked in through the door. Zangmo has enabled me to feel better even in one session. I am looking forward to learning more and practising what I learned today"

- J.M, Bury St Edmunds

What is Life Coaching & Creativity Coaching?

Life Coaching and Mindful Creativity Coaching are confidential conversations between the coach and client in which as your coach I aim to support you in moving on from feeling stuck or frustrated with any issue in your personal, professional, creative and spiritual life. The conversations we have together aim to help you clarify your issues, aspirations and goals, explore options for moving forward and put into action choices you arrive at for moving forward to fulfill your aspirations.

This can be a simple direct process, or more often, a more convoluted process, as coaching may also include becoming more aware of negative thoughts and self limiting beliefs sabotaging your development, and finding ways of turning these around so that you can then move on.

My role as your coach is to be totally non-judgemental and to support you in defining your aspirations, exploring options for moving forward, creating realistic plans and putting these plans into action. This may also include some honest self examination of anything preventing you moving forward - such as blocks and negative self beliefs. 

​

Depending on your interests and wishes, I offer a range of methods from my training and background in life coaching, mindfulness, meditation, therapeutic art, mental health and teaching to help you on your coaching journey.

About Mindfulness

Mindfulness involves being aware of and paying attention to what is happening, as it is happening. This includes awareness of seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, tasting, thinking, feeling, and bodily energy as we experience them. Mindfulness can be used in a secular way just to relax and improve health and well being, or it can also be part of a path of waking up to who we really are at the deepest level.

Contrary to popular belief you do not have to be able to stop thinking in order to learn to do mindfulness meditation! We just need to be aware of whatever our experience is as it is happening.

By becoming more aware of ourselves, we begin to notice knee-jerk reactions to situations and challenges which cause us unnecessary suffering. With practice, our minds can begin to relax and become open to choosing new, more beneficial ways of responding. With more practice we begin to appreciate ourselves and the world around us with more awareness, clarity, wisdom, love, joy and compassion. We make friends with ourselves and our experience.

​

The origins of mindfulness

While Mindfulness can be learned in a non religious way, it can be useful to understand the background to mindfulness. Mindfulness meditation is an awareness practice originating 2500 years ago in Buddhist meditation practices and other spiritual traditions worldwide. For Buddhists, meditation and mindfulness is a spiritual practice which can lead to enlightenment, or the full realisation of who we are in our essence.

​

The Benefits of Mindfulness

For centuries meditators, doctors and healers in eastern traditions have found that mindfulness and meditation improve health and well-being. Recent scientific research has documented how regular meditation and mindfulness helps many health problems, including heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, insomnia, chronic pain, cancer, immune problems, stress and depression. The NHS has now taken Mindfulness on board.

Mindful Life Coaching and Mindful Creativity Coaching

Mindful Life Coaching and Mindful Creativity Coaching aim to help you become more aware so that you are better placed to make choices that really help you integrate who you are with what you do. As an awareness tool, Mindfulness is an ideal partner to Life Coaching and Creativity Coaching in helping you to understand yourself better and enjoying life more.

Mindfulness learned from an experienced teacher or coach can really complement and deepen your coaching experience. As there are a lot of misunderstandings about what mindfulness and meditation really are, it is important to learn mindfulness or meditation from someone who is experienced with an established long term training and practice.
