About Me

My name is Donal Dwyer and I am a Father of 3, husband to one.

I am a Detective Garda with 27 years’ service with An Garda Síochána. I am also a qualified Life and Mindset coach.

I have been involved in sports all my life as a player, coach and in sports administration. The 27 years of experience in policing and dealing with people has enabled me to develop a significant insight into and an understanding of what influences how people think and behave.

I have always been fascinated by what motivates human behaviour.

Throughout my career I have observed, analyzed, interpreted and dealt with complex situations. This motivated me to seek further training in order to understand more about the human mind. I completed a Personal Development programme which has led me to become certified as a Life and Mindset Coach and a Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner.

Through this programme I discovered the reasons that I was continuously getting stuck and unable to move forward in achieving my own goals.

I worked with a Life Coach who helped me to understand my own mindset and behaviour and identify the habits I had formed over many years which were holding me back from realising my full potential personally and professionally.

Certain aspects of my life needed to change and in order to be able to do that I had to start with my mindset. I was ready for life to change for me but I needed the help of a professionally trained Life Coach to get the clarity, confidence, courage and support to make that happen.

As a certified Life and Mindset Coach and NLP Practitioner, I help my clients to see the patterns in their lives which are not serving them well. We work on identifying the root causes of their challenges, and work towards positive and lasting change.

My coaching is informed by my experience in sports, my professional background in policing, and my life experiences as a father, husband and life coach.

I consider it essential to support people in learning the techniques and skills they require to succeed in both their personal and professional life..

I believe in the power of positive thinking, goal setting and creating an environment where you can achieve your goals.

My aim is to help people to discover their own strengths and to build the confidence and resilience they need to drive the change they want to see in their lives. A balanced, healthy, and happy life is something that is attainable; we just might need a little help to achieving it.

My coaching is tailored to the individual’s specific needs and focuses on the areas that are most important to the individual. I work with clients to help them develop the skills and knowledge to create positive change and to help them reach their goals in a safe and non-judgmental environment

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY?

"I used to struggle with feelings of worry and doubt in certain areas of my life for quite some time. It was affecting my life and business. I was finding it hard to sleep at night. I heard about Donal from a friend and everything has now changed for the better.

After just one session with Donal, I felt a significant change in myself. Donal's practical approach and techniques helped me gain a new perspective on my situation and gave me a plan to move forward.

It feels like a heavy burden has been lifted off my shoulders, and I now approach life with renewed self-assurance and a clearer vision. I cannot speak highly enough of Donal.

D FROM LIMERICK

"If you're looking for a mentor and life coach who can truly make a difference in your life, then look no further than Donal Dwyer. I can honestly say that working with Donal has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. When I first came to Donal, I was struggling with some of the lowest points of my life. I felt lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of my purpose in the world. But Donal listened to me with compassion and understanding, and he helped me to see that I had so much potential within me that I had yet to discover.

Over the course of our work together, Donal helped me to develop a deeper sense of self-awareness and resilience. He taught me practical strategies for managing stress, overcoming obstacles, and achieving my goals. And perhaps most importantly, he always believed in me, even when I struggled to believe in myself.

What sets Donal apart from other mentors and life coaches is his genuine care for his clients. Even after our formal coaching relationship ended, Donal continued to support and guide me as a friend. He has been a constant source of inspiration and encouragement, and I know that I wouldn't be where I am today without his guidance.

If you're ready to make a real change in your life, I wholeheartedly recommend Donal Dwyer as a mentor and life coach. He has the skills, the experience, and the heart to help you achieve your goals and live the life you truly deserve."

"My daughters approach to sports has changed as a result of Donal's coaching. As a parent, it was tough to see my daughter struggling with self-confidence and anxiety before games, and it was affecting her performance.

Donal's mindset coaching provided her with the tools and techniques to manage her emotions and approach games with a positive mindset. I was impressed by Donal's ability to connect with my daughter and tailor his coaching to her individual needs.

Thanks to Donal's guidance, my daughter has overcome her mental barriers and is playing with more confidence and more importantly enjoyment. I highly recommend Donal Dwyer Coaching to any parent looking to support their child's mental game in sports."

Harnessing the Power of Mind

WHO I WORK WITH

Safe and Non-Judgmental Space

As a transformational life coach, my primary focus is to help my clients make positive, lasting changes in their lives. This may involve a variety of different areas, from changing unhealthy habits to overcoming limiting beliefs and creating a more fulfilling life overall.
One of the key ways I support my clients is by providing a supportive and empowering environment. I believe that everyone has the potential to achieve great things, but often we are held back by self-doubt, negative beliefs, and other mental barriers. By creating a safe and non-judgmental space, I help my clients overcome these obstacles and unlock their full potential.

Make Positive Changes in your Life

Through my coaching, I also help my clients identify the specific areas of their lives that they want to change or improve. This may involve setting goals, developing new habits, or working through issues that are impacting their lives. I provide guidance, encouragement, and accountability throughout the process, helping my clients stay motivated and on track.

Ultimately, my goal as a transformational life coach is to help my clients break through barriers and achieve their goals, creating a more fulfilling and satisfying life in the process. If you're ready to make positive changes in your life, I'm here to help. Contact me today to learn more about how my coaching services can benefit you.

Tap Into Your Potential

I also work with athletes, teams and sports coaches as a mindset coach.

As a mindset coach, I understand that the subconscious mind plays a powerful role in shaping our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Your subconscious mind is the part of your mind that operates below the level of conscious awareness, and it influences your thoughts, feelings, and actions in ways that you may not even be aware of.

By helping you understand the power of your subconscious mind, I can help you tap into its potential to create positive changes in your life. I can help you identify limiting beliefs, negative thought patterns, and other mental barriers that may be holding you back from achieving your goals.

Once we've identified these obstacles, I work with you to develop strategies to overcome them. These strategies include techniques to help reprogram your subconscious mind for success.
