I believe that everyone is unique, have purpose in their lives and that the only way to live a happy, fulfilled and enjoyable life is in embracing who we are and being completely ourselves. However, so often in life, we lose a part of ourselves in our attempt to "fit in" or "stand out". In my time as a coach, I have seen the insightful power of the Enneagram as it gives us a language to understand why we do the things we do, how we differ from others and now we can reconnect; firstly with ourselves and from there, with others. As a coach I focus on helping clients come back to their true selves behind the masks they wear and guide them along the path of navigating the world around them as their true self, no matter their age or life stage.

What is the best way of finding my Enneagram type?
Enneagram.RC in a nutshell
A brief description of the Enneagram
We have one type which is our "core type"
We can act like all 9 types but our core type is our "why"
This is like a lens from which we see ourselves, others and the world.
Our core type is our nature, our lens we are born with from which we perceive our nurture or lack thereof.
Powered by the Play of Life® help us to:
IDENTIFYING OUR “CORE FEAR’.
Each Enneatype has a "core fear" which can be difficult to uncover using verbal methods. Using the Play of Life, we can discover our cognitive bias through insight into our emotions and behaviours. Visualise our ‘true self’, who we are. Identify the thinking process, beliefs, emotions, behaviours that taint our lens.
We are not perfect
WE CANNOT ACCEPT FAILURE, THE BRAIN RESPONDS WITH FEAR.
We create a construct to ‘cover’ the fear, called cognitive biases.
These constructs cover our lenses affecting how we see ourselves, others and life, resulting in seeing life in a distorted way. This builds our ‘false self’.
