Coaching with Shakti

About

A doctor, a coach, a fellow traveller.

Twenty years in medicine taught me to listen hard and stay steady. Coaching taught me what to do with everything I heard.

Meet Shakti

Dr Shakti Patel

I am Shakti. GP, business owner, appraiser, coach, mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, caregiver. It is a long list, and I have missed a few.

Modern life can be a lot. I have been there myself: the morning rush, the pressure at work, the role of go-to person for everyone in the family, the sandwich generation. There were stretches when I had no idea how to put any of it down.

Coaching for myself was what changed it. I found the beliefs I had inherited about what I was allowed to want, named the ones that no longer fit, and built a life that looks more like the one I wanted.

Now I do that work with other women. I bring 20+ years in clinical practice and certified transformational coaching to every conversation. The aim is a life that feels like yours.

  • Mission

    "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour and some style."
    — Maya Angelou

    This is what I want for the women I coach. The work is personal, one-to-one, and rooted in evidence. The aim is durable change in the parts of your life that matter to you.

  • Vision

    "If you want to walk fast, walk alone. If you want to walk far, walk with others."
    — Ratan Tata

    Coaching is a shared piece of work. You bring the life. I bring the questions, the structure, and the steadiness. Together we build the clarity and confidence for whatever you decide to do next.

  • Values

    "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."
    — Carl Rogers

    The sessions are confidential and yours. You can be tired, angry, undecided. We work from wherever you are.

Curious whether we would work well together?
