Coaching What is coaching? Coaching is a process that helps people overcome the things that are holding them back. With coaching, we look forward to where you want to be and work together to look where the blocks are and how to overcome these. This may involve looking at past issues, but the primary focus is looking forward and defining the work needed to get you there. What is the difference between coaching and counselling? Counselling therapy provides a safe and confidential space for individuals to talk to a trained professional about issues and concerns. Your therapist will help you explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours so you can develop a better understanding of yourself and of others. The main difference between coaching and counselling is that coaching is about forward motion, and helping you identify the work you need to do in-between session to help support the changes you want to make. What can we work on in coaching? Coaching can touch on many different areas of life. At Apollo our coaches are trained in different areas including business, performance and emotional coaching. Therefore we can work with you to support in many areas of your career as a musician or arts professional: Feeling unhappy and stuck Low self esteem or self confidence Imposter syndrome Feeling stuck and unable to progress Feeling overwhelmed and anxious Creating a plan to reach your goals Fear around money and finances All of our coaches are qualified and fully insured for your own peace of mind. If you are interested in discussing how coaching could work for you, then get in touch today and book your free discovery call with Emily or Ray. https://www.apollo-coaching.co.uk/about daily 0.75 2026-05-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ce78832ec8e44d10626a6/7c0958a1-02da-4a8f-af4a-2d0da0238b4e/IMG_3283.jpg About - ABOUT RAY Ray began playing the violin at an early age and went on to study at the Royal Academy of Music, completing both a Masters degree and the Licentiate Diploma in performance teaching. It was there, studying the Enhanced Performance Techniques Pathway, that his interest in well-being and musical performance first took root. Following an accident that left him unable to play for several months, Ray turned to visualisation, mindfulness, and holistic practice to maintain his development, passing his performance exams with significantly limited practice time. That experience changed the course of his career. Ray has since built a reputation as a violin and viola teacher based in Chichester and London, working with students of all ages and levels, and has pursued doctoral research into well-being and mindfulness for conservatoire musicians. He is also a qualified Reiki practitioner, and everything he offers through Apollo is shaped by the conviction that lasting musical progress comes from supporting the whole person, not just the technique. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ce78832ec8e44d10626a6/423d920e-0179-43eb-83e0-c82b4771fbee/Floor.jpeg About - HOW IT STARTED Apollo began as a collaboration between Ray and Emily, an HR professional, brought together by a shared belief that musicians needed more than technical instruction to truly thrive. What started as a music-focused coaching practice gradually evolved into something broader, as it became clear that the challenges musicians face, performance anxiety, creative blocks, career uncertainty, and physical and emotional pressures, called for a genuinely holistic response. Over time, Apollo grew to encompass not just coaching but instrumental teaching, well-being practice, Reiki, and research-backed approaches to musician health and performance. Today, Apollo is led solely by Ray, whose doctoral research into well-being and mindfulness for musicians gives everything offered here a grounding in evidence as well as experience. https://www.apollo-coaching.co.uk/workshops-and-courses daily 0.75 2022-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ce78832ec8e44d10626a6/0e33a2f8-ced4-4ca5-b17a-b8d3b226a7d6/sincerely-media-dGxOgeXAXm8-unsplash.jpg Workshops and Courses - workshops Our unique range of workshops are there to support clients with a wide range of issues and concerns.
