Frequently Asked Questions
What is coaching?
Coaching is defined by “The Institute For Life Coach Training” as: “a professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations, helping them to bridge the gap between where they are now and where they want to be.”
Am I ready for coaching?
In the free introductory session, we will go through the criteria and discuss what your ambitions and goals are. At this point, I discuss the contract which set the expectations of the coaching relationship and the sessions we agree to have.
I'm not sure what goal to work on first. What do you advise?
Often clients come to me with a particular problem or reason for coaching. Most often this is around being unhappy about their current job or career. In other instances, individuals feel stuck and unsure what to do next.
If this is the case, I would work with you to get an understanding of different parts of your life: family, work, health, wellbeing or finances. This may highlight certain areas of interest or concern.
What's the difference between therapy, consulting and coaching/ mentoring?
Therapy is a process of looking at past events and feelings associated to those, helping you move forward with the present.
Consulting is advising or mentoring others based on expertise in the subject area.
A coach uses questions, I will be listening to what you have to say, asking questions around your goals and noticing patterns. Coaching helps equip clients to face challenges. Our coaching relationship is a partnership. You, as my client have all the answers, and I as your coach will help you get to them!
A mentor asks questions and comes up with suggestions from own resources and experience.
How much will it cost me?
The initial intro session is free. Once we’ve found out a bit about each other and discussed the outcomes you want to achieve, I can advise you on the best package for you. I offer several pricing options so you can find the right level of support. My most popular package is four or six sessions, I also offer one-off sessions and top-up sessions.
