Question 1

What areas can coaching help with?

Accepted Answer

Coaching is flexible and tailored to you, but common areas I work on with clients include:
Building consistent, sustainable habits
Managing stress and recovering from burnout
Navigating major transitions in life or work
Boosting confidence and resilience
Improving work-life integration
Designing systems that support long-term growth

Question 2

What’s the difference between coaching and therapy?

Accepted Answer

Coaching is all about looking ahead. We’ll explore where you are today and where you want to go, focusing on removing barriers, setting goals, and taking action. 
Therapy or counselling, on the other hand, tends to focus on the past and how it impacts your present. It’s more about healing and understanding those experiences. If I ever feel therapy would be more beneficial for you, I’ll share my thoughts and encourage you to get the support you need.

Question 3

What happens during a coaching session?

Accepted Answer

Every session is personalized to you. We’ll dive into practical strategies and exercises tailored to your goals and needs. Coaching isn’t about quick fixes or rigid plans—it’s about equipping you with tools and insights to keep moving forward, no matter where you are in your journey.

Question 4

How can I know if you’re the right coach for me?

Accepted Answer

The first step is easy—just reach out! We’ll set up a free 30-minute phone or Zoom chat to talk about your needs and goals. This gives us a chance to see if we’re a good fit and for you to ask any questions you have. Coaching is a partnership, and this initial conversation helps us test the connection.

Question 5

What happens if we decide to work together?

Accepted Answer

Once we’re both on board, I’ll send you a coaching agreement and a questionnaire to complete. The questionnaire is designed to help you clarify what you want from our sessions and begin reflecting on your goals.
 We’ll then have a ‘discovery’ session to design how we’ll work together. This is where we’ll map out your vision, your priorities, and how I can best support you.

Question 6

Where and when do sessions take place?

Accepted Answer

Our sessions are typically held remotely via Zoom or phone for flexibility. Sessions last one hour and are scheduled every two weeks unless otherwise agreed. For specific programs we may have different arrangements, but I’ll always confirm the details with you upfront.

Question 7

What is your rescheduling or cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to reschedule or cancel a session. Life happens, and I aim to be flexible, but late cancellations or no-shows may incur a fee.

Question 8

How do I know if coaching is for me?

Accepted Answer

Great question! Coaching is ideal if you’re ready to make meaningful changes in your life. Together, we’ll focus on where you are now, what’s next for you, and how you can grow to reach your full potential. It’s about creating a fulfilling life that aligns with your values and priorities.
