frequently asked questions
What the hell is coaching?
It is a forward-thinking approach designed to help you unlock whatever is making you feel stuck so that you can move forward with your awesome life. I've written a blog that tells you all about it and gives you an idea of what to expect if we work together. It also explains what coaching is not (primarily mentoring, counselling or therapy).
Why do I need coaching?
I firmly believe that EVERYONE can benefit from some quality focus time that is free of judgement and fear to explore an idea or unpack something that has been holding them back. It's 100% about you (and that's always nice, isn't it?) and may give you the boost that you need to make some significant changes in your life, go after that pipedream or have more clarity on a topic that's been confusing. If you don't enjoy the free chemistry call, then we can go our separate ways with no hard feelings (but I've got a feeling you'll enjoy it), so what have you got to lose!?
How does it work?
All coaching sessions are held on Zoom. I provide you with a meeting link in advance, and we chat away during our session in whatever comfy part of our respective homes works best for us! Emotionally, you, as the client, commit to putting in the work to make the changes and drive yourself forward. I do not give you advice or the answer - I ask the questions that help you unlock this yourself.
What if we discover that I need more support than coaching?
As a coach, I am bound by a code of ethics set out by the ICF, and your safety, satisfaction and well-being are at the forefront of my mind at all times. If, during our sessions, we touch upon topics that fall under the counselling or therapy umbrella, then I can support you by pointing you in the direction of some resources or contacts that might be useful. I will discuss this with you during the session, and we can decide whether or not coaching is really what you need at that point in time.
What about accessibility?
Because sessions are held on Google Meet, this allows for closed captions and/or transcripts to be set up. It also means I can reach you wherever you are; no travel is required! Are you having an off day and don't want your camera on? No problem! Some of my clients have ADHD, and we've found that allowing extra time in their sessions gives them the space to talk and think without worrying about tight time constraints. I also offer payment plans for wider financial accessibility, and I am very happy to design a set-up that works for you. I aim to be fully accessible in my sessions, but if I could do even better, please get in touch with me; I'd love to discuss how I can improve going forward.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! I want to make coaching as accessible as possible, so please do not hesitate to ask about payment plans. I also offer smaller Crash Course packages of 3x 1-hour sessions if the above packages feel too big for you.
On top of this, I pledge to create an inclusive and equitable business. If you cannot afford coaching right now and come from a marginalised community, I offer free sessions. Please book in for a free Chemistry Call and make a note on the form that you are interested in this.
