Go from surviving to thriving with transformative coaching
Transformative coaching helps you to change your thinking to the degree that you couldn’t possibly continue to behave in the same way going forward.
About Matt Middler Coaching
I’m Matt Middler, a qualified transformative coach helping busy leaders to slow down, do their best thinking and perform at their full potential.
Through one to one coaching my clients are enhancing their self-awareness, resilience, and leadership skills. For example, by gaining tools to manage stress, engage in difficult conversations, and improve work-life balance.
I work with amazing people across Scotland and the UK; from self-employed freelancers and business owners to leaders within the third and private sectors.
My wish for you is that I can enable you to be the best version of yourself so that you can make a bigger impact in the world.
What is Transformative Coaching?
Transformative coaching is a process of deep reflection, questioning and action planning. It’s a conversation between two people about one of us (you!). I can help you to widen your self-awareness, identify your blind spots and figure how best to move forward.
Transformative coaching helps you to change your thinking to the degree that you couldn’t possibly continue to behave in the same way going forward.
Transformative coaching helps you:
-
Understand better the kind of life you really want to lead
-
Figure out what to do next and/or how to do it
-
See your situation from a new perspective
-
Identify and get beyond the limiting beliefs that hold you back
-
Create a plan to achieve your goals/dreams

FAQ
Are you qualified?
I hold a Diploma in Transformative Coaching from Animas Centre for Coaching. The qualification is accredited by the Association for Coaching, International Coach Federation (ICF) and European Mentoring and Coaching Council and is the gold standard in coach training. It carries 123 approved coach specific training hours with the ICF.
What can we work on?
Coaching can help you attain a goal or make any other change in your life. For example, gain purpose in your life, access what resources and success you already have, look at situations differently to gain new insights, understand your own motivations better or get to the core of what stops you moving ahead in your life.
Is coaching like counselling or mentoring?
Coaching is about discovery through talking and reflecting, but it is quite different from therapy or counselling - it doesn’t seek to explain or fix the past. Coaching is also different from mentoring or consultancy as it isn't about providing answers to the client - instead you are facilitated to discover your own answers.
What about confidentiality?
Before the coaching begins, we will sign an agreement which outlines the expectations on both of us with regards to confidentiality and how we will work together. The agreement outlines an ethical framework and is in line with industry standards as set out by the International Coaching Federation.
Where will the coaching happen?
Most of my clients are coached over video call on Zoom. We can also hold our sessions over the telephone. If you would like to receive coaching face to face, please contact me for a bespoke quote.
I'd like to try before I buy, is this possible?
It can be difficult to get your head around what coaching is and how it can help you. For this reason, I offer a free introductory coaching session. We'll spend up to two hours to explore your coaching goal and create some powerful insights that will help you move forward.
