  • Well-being Coaching
    • What is coaching?
      Coaching is a form of personal development in which the coach supports a client in achieving a specific personal goal by providing guidance. Coaching doesn't look into the issues themselves. Instead, in a Coaching conversation, the client uncovers their own unique solutions. The coach also provides accountability and motivation to ensure positive change happens. If you'd like to find out more about Coaching you can book a free 20-minute Discovery Call. It’s an honest chat where I can show you if my services can help bridge the gap between your current situation and your ideal home and life. No commitment, just real value.
    • What is the difference between Coaching, Therapy and Counselling?
      Both Therapy and Counselling are regulated by professional bodies and industry-specific training and standards exist. Coaching does not constitute medical advice and is not an alternative for therapy or counselling. If you require advice or treatment for mental health issues you should speak to your GP, who will be able to refer you to the right professional. Coaching is currently not regulated, even though there are several bodies that promote best practices in the industry. It is intended for individuals whose functioning is not impaired by mental health issues.
    • How much does Coaching cost?
      My Coaching services are delivered in packages, instead of single sessions. Each package lasts for a particular period of time and includes a certain number of Coaching sessions. For these reasons the price varies. You can book a free 20-minute Discovery Call to help you gain clarity and awareness. It’s an honest chat where I can show you if my services can help bridge the gap between your current situation and your ideal home and life. No commitment, just real value.
    • Do you offer taster sessions?

    • How do I know if Coaching is right for me?
      The truth is most people can benefit from Coaching. It's important to note that it does require a degree of commitment to get things done and become your best self. Time is the main resource that Coaching will use. You have to ensure you have the time and capacity to attend the Coaching sessions and complete some self-development activities.

    • How long is a Coaching session?
      My Coaching sessions are designed to last one hour approximately. Please, allow more time in your diary just in case. Occasionally the sessions last a little bit longer.
    • How long will I need to work with a coach?
      It depends on your needs and goals. It may be the case you have a short or medium-term goal and I have a 3-month package designed to support you. Alternatively, for long-term goals, the 6-month package will be ideal. Individual one-off Coaching sessions are only available to clients who have previously purchased one of the packages above.

    • Does Coaching deliver quick results?
      Coaching has two key components: the Coaching session and your actions. The Coaching sessions are the match that sparks the fire and help you find unique solutions to reach your goals. In between sessions, it's down to you to take action. Each action step takes you closer to where you want to be. How quick results are delivered depends on the size of the goal itself and your commitment to taking action.
    • How safe and confidential is Coaching?
      Coaching is strictly confidential. Each coaching package includes a simple Coaching Agreement. The Agreement highlights the professionalism and confidential nature of Coaching so you know you're in safe hands. As a Student Member of the Association for Coaching, I abide by their high standards.
    • Why would I need a well-being coach if I'm already happy?
      Coaching doesn't assume you're riddled with problems and need urgent guidance. Very often, my coaching clients are considered "high performers" and they're on top of their game. Coaching helps them focus on what matters so they can live the life they want. You can book a free 20-minute Discovery Call to find out how Coaching can help you become your best self.
    • Shouldn’t I be able to reach my goals on my own?
      Coaching can help you identify your true goals. These are the deep goals that really matter to you. Once we've identified these, the Coaching process will uncover the best ways to achieve your goals. Often, the action steps needed to get there are unexpected yet highly effective. You can book a free 20-minute Discovery Call to find out how Coaching can help you.
    • How do I know if you are the right coach for me?
      A solid coach-client relationship is essential to ensure the best results. That's why every client that signs up for my Coaching packages has experienced an hour-long Discovery Call with me.
