FAQS
HOW DOES COACHING WORK?
Coaching is an equal partnership between the coach + client where both parties are 100% committed to the client’s success. That means that as your coach, my full attention is on helping you.
I am an expert at designing a fulfilling life and you’re an expert at YOU.
Together we explore what you need help with, uncover what’s been holding you back, get clarity about the next steps and conduct regular sessions to keep you on track with your new goals.
Most sessions happen over the phone or via zoom.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN THERAPY?
Therapy is appropriate for you if:
You have a mental health diagnosis that hinders your everyday life.
You struggle with substance abuse of any kind.
You have significant past trauma that’s unresolved.
You struggle with depression or anxiety which significantly impacts your ability to function.
You try to focus on the future, however, issues from the past continue to interfere.
^ If this is you, I recommend using the Psychology Today directory to find a therapist.
Coaching is appropriate for you if:
You consider yourself mentally stable, past issues resolved and want to address future goals.
You have a specific road block that you need help with, but it’s not in the realm of mental health.
You want to improve your confidence and spiritual growth.
You want to get clear about your passion and take action toward a new career path or business.
You are ready to make significant changes in your life.
(Coaching involves a lot of ACTION and requires you to be ready and willing to meet weekly goals)
HOW OFTEN WOULD I WORK WITH YOU?
Some clients will set up their first session and get so much value from it that they are able to move forward on their own.
Many clients seek ongoing support and will opt for a 3-month program (12 sessions) with the option to continue month-to-month until they’ve achieved their goals. I find that those who do make a commitment to 12 sessions are the ones who show the greatest transformation. But you don’t have to make a commitment right away. We can start with a one-time session and I’ll recommend a program that fits your needs / budget.
HOW MANY SESSIONS DOES IT TAKE?
This depends on your starting point and your goals. Have you been involved in personal growth work for many years or are you just getting started? Each client is unique.
You may work with me anywhere from one session to three months to a whole year. It really depends on whether you’re only looking to resolve something specific or you want to totally transform your life.
HOW DO I KNOW IF COACHING WILL WORK FOR ME?
You might be a little skeptical. I understand that it can be difficult to know whether coaching or working with ME specifically as your coach will benefit your situation. You’re probably asking yourself… “Will this work or will it just be a waste of money?”
I believe in supporting you to make the right decision based on experience. The first step is to set up your breakthrough session so you can try it first. (There will be no pressure to continue.)
At the end of that first session we can make an informed decision about whether or not we’re a good match to continue working together regularly.
Coaching can completely change your life when there’s a good fit AND when both parties are 100% committed to the process. That means YOU will be required to show up for yourself and do the work
