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

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. Contact

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.
