PADDY VENNER
Life Coach & Councellor


My Coaching Story
Experienced. Certified. Supportive.

I am driven by a desire to see people living whole and fulfilled lives. We all want to find our ‘sweet spot’ in life. Fulfilment, success, meaning, destiny or place. Whatever you want to call it.
​
For the large part of my life I have been a Pastor which, by its very nature, requires me to counsel and encourage people. Through this I have seen that so many people are stuck in their own mindsets of limitation. It has been my privilege to work with people and show them that if you can change your thinking then this is the start to personal revolution - your life, your relationships, your career, your beliefs, your ‘inner peace’.
​
I have worked with families and couples, helping people to navigate relationship issues, be they parent-child, siblings, spousal or within the extended family dynamic. I have also coached staff teams by running team workshops to improve morale and mutual understanding.
​​
I have written and run life skills courses both for adults and children. My children's courses for schools were incredibly successful, reaching over 8,000 children. Staff and parents saw dramatic changes in their pupils, particularly those who attended my anti-bullying course. The children themselves realised their value and place in society and within their families.
As a spin off of this I counsel individually with children 11-18 years (issues such as stress, peer pressure, family trauma) and work with families to help restore healthy parent-child and sibling relationships.
​
​​In my younger days I worked in retail clothing, restaurant management, sales and banking. I left all of that behind in the 1990's and became a Senior Pastor, running 4 different churches over 33 years. It was during this time that I trained and developed my Life Coaching and councelling skills.. I am now a full-time Life Coach therapist.
I have studied Theology, Professional Life Coaching, Councelling techniques and some Psychology. ​​
​​
I am passionate about helping people from all walks of life bring change into their own lives, families and other social and work relationships.

Let me start this journey with you.
