life coaching questions
 
faq
 

How will I know if life coaching is for me?
I offer a complimentary initial consultation during which we can discuss your needs and expectations of coaching and I can answer any questions you may have about the process. This will give us the opportunity to get to know each other a little and for you to decide whether you want to go ahead with coaching. If you do decide to take me on as your coach, we will design a coaching package for you during this session. Contact me

What’s the difference between coaching and counselling?
Coaching and counselling are similar in the sense that both counsellor and coach ask the client questions, sometimes requiring a lot of soul-searching. Neither counsellor nor coach will give advice but they listen to what the client says and direct the conversation with further pertinent questions. However, whereas the typical counselling session will be dealing with issues in the past affecting the present, the coaching relationship is focused on the future and deals with optimising opportunity by acting proactively.

How frequent are life coaching sessions?
This depends on what you want to achieve with your coaching. During the consultation session, we will design a coaching package together that will suit your needs and your budget. Frequency of sessions ranges from one to three sessions per month, with unlimited email support in between.

How long will I need to be coached for?
As with the previous question, this depends on what you want to achieve through coaching. Some goals can be met after six sessions, while others take a lot longer. For example, relocation tends to be a longer-term project which requires less frequent support over a longer period, whereas a goal such as decluttering generally needs more intensive coaching over a fairly short time span. I usually ask clients to commit to an initial three months, which can then be extended for as long as you like. Whatever your situation, together we can design a coaching programme to suit you.

Life coaching and you

We can work on pretty much any goal or project you care to mention. Sometimes what you want to focus on only comes out after we’ve chatted. Here are just some of the themes I’ve gathered particular experience in:

 

Changes at work
Moving abroad - relocation
Making decisions
Work-Life balance
Feeling good about yourself
Getting into shape
Improving family relationships

Life overhaul
Life as a teacher

 


 

 


                     

How coaching takes place

The majority of my coaching takes place over the phone. This a very practical solution, and provided you can find somewhere quiet and free of distractions, it is also very focussing and powerful.

We can also meet up for an initial session where this is practical, and I also run workshops and other face-to-face courses and programmes on request.
