Currently, I am working in Guangzhou, China, contracted as a Wellness coach for teachers and staff at a Level 1 International school. Immediately before leaving the UK, I worked in the NHS as a chaplain, supporting those facing life-changing situations and those who were bereaved or facing bereavement. The care and suppport I gave face-to-face, I now offer remotely.
My interest in people and how we best care for each other has been life long and has guided me in all my career decisions. I have been involved in mental health, pastoral care and counselling for over 38 years and I am now specialising in coaching , CBT methodology and related disciplines. In addition, I am trained to ICF standards in Coaching and I continue to develop and grow in all disciplines of life coaching.

WHAT I OFFER
Services
Gary Kennedy is offering the following services and can be contacted directly if required:
One-to-one coaching or counselling depending on your needs. I use a wide range of methods to help people get themselves unstuck from unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns; feelings of sadness and depression; panic attacks; and wanting to take the next step in life's challenges (personal and professional).
My aim is to fully understand where you are coming from and what you want to achieve.
Generally, no more than six sessions, but it is very individual, so some people benefit from more sessions, some very quickly realise they are unstuck and happily move on!
