Question 1

Is coaching right for me?

Accepted Answer

If you're feeling stuck, unmotivated, or unsure about your next steps, coaching can help. If you're ready to take control, make positive changes, and create a life you love, coaching can be a great way to get there! Throughout our sessions together there will be regular check-ins to make sure you're getting everything you need from the process. The best way to find out is to book a free call with me and we can discuss it together.

Question 2

How do I find the right coach?

Accepted Answer

There are lots of incredible coaches out there, and many offer a free introductory session so you can get a feel for the coach's style, talk through your goals for coaching and decide if you think it's a good fit. It's important to ensure the coach you work with has completed accredited training, adheres to a code of ethics, and is transparent about how you will work together. I offer all of the above.

Question 3

Is coaching different from therapy?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Coaching focuses on personal and/or professional growth, future goals, and actionable strategies, while therapy might address things like past traumas and/or mental health concerns. Coaching is often about change, progress and transformation. If you're not sure whether coaching or therapy is the right fit for you, we can talk it through together, and I'll be honest about whether coaching is right for you. I can also recommend some incredible therapists if that's a better fit for you.

Question 4

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

Results vary depending on your commitment and goals. Some clients experience a positive shift in just a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing coaching for long-term success. I recommend at least 6 sessions to get the benefit of the process and to give yourself time to see progress.

Question 5

Can coaching help me in my career?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Whether you're looking for a career change, leadership skills, or work-life balance, coaching provides guidance and strategies to realise your potential and see professional growth. So much of our lives is dedicated to work, so we want to ensure it's aligned with our values and strengths and makes other important aspects of life possible. 70% of people who receive coaching report an improved work performance, and 80% report improved confidence (ICF). The same report also found that 73% of people who received coaching reported improved work relationships and a 72% improvement in communication skills.

Question 6

Question 7

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

I recommend 6 coaching sessions when you're starting out, and I offer a block booking discount. That includes your 1 hour online session, a summary email after each session and light contact via email/whatsapp between sessions. Individual sessions are available to book once your initial block is completed. When we meet together, we can discuss the best option for you.

Question 8

How do I get started with coaching?

Accepted Answer

Getting started is easy! Drop me an email or give me a call, and we can talk about what's important to you and set up a free introductory session. There's no hard sell involved, just a conversation about what's important to you, then you can take the time to decide your next steps.

Question 9

What can I expect from the first coaching session?

Accepted Answer

Your first session is all about understanding where things are for you right now, and where you want things to be. We'll discuss your goals, challenges, and commitment. Coaching is all about what's important to you, so we always start there. Together, we will build a road map from where you are now, to where you want to be, one manageable step at a time.
