Self-discovery boards are gentle but deeply powerful coaching tools that use visual images, symbols and archetypes to aid inner clarity, growth and transformation. They can be used as the sole focus for coaching, or part of a wider coaching programme.

With inner clarity you will learn to trust yourself and your decision making processes, generating feelings of confidence, self-belief and a sense of empowerment within your life. You get to know, like and love yourself in a whole new way.

Visual representations are used in generating self-discovery and vison boards. While vision boards are widely utilised by many coaches, self-discovery boards work slightly differently.

Vision boards are future focused, they consider the goals that you have set and the future life you want to live. With a vision board you select images to represent what you already know. In this was vison boards do not work with your unconscious, they rely on your conscious mind to select your images. This can be a really useful for giving direction, clarity and accountability moving forward. However, this does keep your goals and ideal life in the future, something you don’t yet have and are working towards.

Self-discovery boards however, encourage you to uncover more knowledge about your current self and life. They provide opportunities for you to engage with your unconscious emotional and psychological drivers that impact your thoughts, actions, behaviour and life choices. Though engagement with your unconscious, you are supported in working deeply to uncover its influence in your life and develop a sense of inner wisdom and clarity. Armed with this inner wisdom and clarity you will gain confidence in considering more meaningful, appropriate and actionable steps, to call the future you want into being now.

This process allows you to begin to experience positive change and transformation in the present moment, identifying what you can already cultivate and nurture, rather than focusing solely on what you need in the future.

Images, symbols and archetypes are processed and stored in the brain differently. How you process these images and what you make them mean, as well as what else they could mean, is a unique to you. This deeply personal and transformative process may not always be comfortable. You are encouraged to challenge assumptions and preconceptions about yourself and travel personal growth pathways that are uncharted, unfamiliar and on occasion with uncertain destinations.
It can be difficult to reimagine what you have not already experienced, and to reinvent yourself when you have no point of reference on which to base this on. Yet, if you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got! A state that does not support lasting transformative change. This is where coaching can help.

 
You do not have to navigate your journey alone. As your coach, I will journey with you through this process, holding an emotionally safe space for you to gently explore the core of who you are and who you could be. Using the creative collage coaching tool, I will hold the space for you to engage with the unconscious drivers that shape you and your world.
