Yes, one of the biggest influences on my approach is Dr. David Burns, a pioneer in cognitive therapy and the author of Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy. His groundbreaking work on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns has helped millions of people overcome anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. His more recent book, Feeling Great, expands on these principles using his TEAM-CBT model, which focuses on rapid and lasting change. His work has deeply influenced how I help clients break through self-limiting beliefs and create meaningful improvements in their lives.

TEAM-CBT is an advanced form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) designed to help you achieve faster and more effective results. It combines traditional CBT tools with four key components: Testing, Empathy, Agenda Setting, and Methods.

• Testing: Regular check-ins to measure progress and ensure we’re on the right track.
• Empathy: Creating a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood.
• Agenda Setting: Collaboratively identifying what you want to focus on and achieve.
• Methods: Using a wide range of proven techniques tailored to your specific needs.

TEAM-CBT is action-oriented, compassionate, and practical. It’s designed to empower you with tools to overcome challenges and create real, lasting change in your life.

A discovery call is a relaxed, no-pressure conversation where we’ll discuss your challenges, goals, and what you’re hoping to achieve. It’s a chance for you to learn more about how I work and ask any questions you have. Most importantly, it’s an opportunity to see if coaching feels like the right fit for you. There’s no obligation to continue after the call – it’s simply a first step to explore the possibilities.

That’s exactly what the discovery call is for. It’s a no-pressure conversation where you can share what you’re looking for, ask questions, and see if coaching with Stan feels like the right fit for you. There’s no commitment—it’s simply a chance to explore the possibilities.

Not at all! Just bring yourself and an open mind. The call is an informal chat designed to help me understand your needs and goals. If you have specific challenges you’d like to discuss, feel free to share them during the call, but there’s no need to prepare in advance.

The number of sessions depends on your individual goals and the challenges you’re facing. Some clients experience significant progress after just a few sessions, while others prefer longer-term support to navigate ongoing challenges and personal growth. During the discovery call, we can discuss a flexible plan that works best for your needs.

Not at all. Seeking coaching is a powerful choice that reflects your dedication to growth and success. Just like artists work with mentors to refine their craft, musicians collaborate with instructors to perfect their performance, or entrepreneurs rely on advisors to navigate challenges, coaching offers valuable support. It’s about having someone in your corner to provide guidance, fresh perspectives, and practical tools to help you achieve your goals. Coaching isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a smart step toward unlocking your full potential.

Yes, absolutely. Confidentiality is a top priority, and everything discussed during our sessions stays between us. I create a safe, judgment-free space where you can speak openly and honestly without fear of anything being shared outside of our work together.

While I don’t exclusively specialize in these industries, my background has allowed me to work closely with professionals in the Real Estate and Chartered Surveying sectors. As a result, many of my clients come from these fields, and I’m experienced in addressing the unique challenges they face. I am particularly familiar with the stress’s and strain’s faced by people working in the commercial investment valuation sector and also in residential valuations, home inspections and building surveys.
