Online course that may be of interest. John Dray has some sort of hand in this, and his career has weirdly paralleled mine we met on an IT support service desk 😍 , then Salesforce (where he mentored me through my first exams), and now as a psychotherapist. So should be very good!

It's just as well I focus on living with life, not controlling the world around us. The spam on client lead call generation has stopped. Instead, it appears I've unlocked the upgrade 🙈 I'm now getting emails on how to manage my future direction 🤬 (doh!) No thanks. I'm enjoying what I do.

Email screenshot reading "Instead, I am interested in the strategic question of what your online
presence should do when one-to-one capacity is limited. Perhaps your
priority is protecting time for existing clients, communicating
availability clearly, developing your writing and educational work, or
exploring opportunities that do not depend entirely on additional
coaching hours. I would not presume which direction appeals to you."

Now my coaching client list is full, I suddenly feel I can be a bit more open about the thoughts running through my head. It's lovely to be able to unmask like this. This is a "classic" example from <checks> today...

I'm a software developer at a small company. Every time a project nears completion my boss invents reasons to launch in a rush, so I've started adding a 2-3 week gap after finishing a project to actually saying it's finished. My fess is that I should have done this 3 years ago.

This is NOT A DRILL! Only ONE coaching slot remaining. (at least currently - clients do graduate, otherwise I would be doing my job wrong) This post is also to thank everyone for supporting me so much! Always appreciated 😍🥹

This could be a @picardtips.bsky.social tip. When clients say, unprompted, that they are NOT something, it's definitely time to pick up your ears and listen. If they are not something, what's causing them to dwell on it? ;) I had noticed the pattern previously. Now I understand the cause!

UK Government report on ADHD today. "On the basis of evidence available to us we CANNOT conclude that overdiagnosis is occurring at scale" says the ADHD report released by the the UK Government today.

Just had my new outdoors bathroom installed, with space being at a premium! Think it might make a good new feature. (idea courtesy of my Swiss upstairs flatmates... Apparently it's a thing there) The alternative was to have it in the bedroom (as per the last - Scottish - owner of that flat!)

Real life update. I'm on some cool new drugs which help with my sleep and mean that I wake up feeling less groggy in the morning, and my watch tells me is of better quality. So I'm happier/less stressed. Does this give me any extra time in the day to do more things? Still no. Bodies are weird!

My clients trust me when I offer them flexible scheduling, so launching my first ever special offer! Who knew that October was such a month for extended training, travels and changing jobs?! More at: naturallypaul.com/blog/october...

October Special Offer! - Naturally Paul

We’re nearly in October, and I’ve looked at my diary for the month ahead to combat time blindness, and can now offer my first ever special offer! A number of my clients are taking training, going on holidays and changing jobs, giving me more temporary additional capacity next month, so I can offer up to 4 discounted sessions, at £100 per session, rather than £140 per session. This gives you an opportunity to have one or more no commitment sessions, to see if you like coaching and decide whether it works for you.  That said, I still recommend booking an absolutely free intro call. It helps you come better prepared for a coaching session, so book both if you want. Where are you at currently? Coaching can be explained, but is best experienced. In short, it’s about learning how to work with yourself through practical exercises. I don’t actually mind whether you have ADHD or not! It isn’t about explaining things, but only because there’s a better way of changing behaviour – we learn best by doing rather than reading about it, which is why self-help videos, reading and AI will only get you so far. Health note: Don’t worry about “wasting” anyone’s time. You want to learn about ADHD and its potential impact, and that’s enough for me.  What topics can I discuss? One of the main questions I tend to ask is “What would you like to practically achieve with today’s session?” and then we’re off. It’s a wide question, but if it’s too large, working on more specifically targeting the goal, can be a rewarding process in of itself. You can check out my 5* reviews on Trust Pilot (overall rating appears lower, due to the way Trust Pilot tries to stop people gaming the system), although I do need to gather some more reviews! Also free to check out my blog whilst you are here as it gives insights from my coaching sessions about topics which may come up and how they are tackled. (or you can also book multiple, all at the same discounted rate, as long as they are in October) p.s. Remember to come back to this page to book your discounted coaching session!

I've checked my diary and now have a SPECIAL OFFER!! During October 2026 a number of my clients are taking training, going on holidays and changing jobs, giving me more temporary additional capacity, so I can offer up to 4 discounted sessions, at £100 per session, rather than £140 per session.

Text saying: Coaching taster sessions, October 2026 only. Along with a number of logos from coaching organisations.

When I have my intro calls with clients, I say that coaching takes around nine months, but it is highly variable. Let’s dive into this! THE FIRST 3 MONTHS Three months is a useful placeholder because people come to me with the expectation that a “complete package” can be delivered in that time.

NEW BLOG! The edition is all about the question "is it worth it?" Whether it's fire fighting at work, going to a gay social space, or dealing with national politics, it's easy to get overwhelmed. There's a number of hidden tips on keeping everything grounded. naturallypaul.com/blog/septemb...
