The Enneagram

A fast track tool for self-awareness and personal growth

The Enneagram is a framework that describes nine core patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. It reveals the deeper motivations behind why you do what you do — the habits, fears, and strengths that shape how you show up in your life and work.

Rather than boxing you into a type, the Enneagram helps you understand your patterns clearly and compassionately. It brings subconscious motivations to the surface, illuminates blind spots, and highlights practical ways to grow.

Through this tool, many people develop better emotional awareness, healthier relationships, and more intentional responses to challenges. It’s a simple way to understand yourself on a deeper level — and a powerful way to create meaningful change.

What the Enneagram can help you with

  • Understanding your patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving

  • Increasing self-awareness and emotional intelligence

  • Reducing reactivity and responding with more intention

  • Identifying blind spots and unhelpful habits

How the Enneagram works in coaching

You’ll begin with a personalised assessment and a coaching session to understand your Enneagram style and the patterns behind your behaviour. From there, we use these insights to explore what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and how you can make intentional, sustainable changes in your life and relationships. The Enneagram doesn’t label you — it gives you language, clarity, and practical guidance for growth.
