Coaching for those who want to live with freedom and purpose...
If you want to live a life with freedom and purpose then you're in the right place.
-
How do I book?You can book either online or by contacting me directly, either email or WhatsApp. I aim to respond to people within a few hours, immediately in most cases.
-
How are the sessions conducted?I conduct my sessions either on Zoom, over the phone or in person. I would generally expect my clients to be comfortable speaking over video although if you're not there right now: don't worry. It's a skill that you'll naturally pick up as we move through the sessions.
-
How many sessions do I need?This will vary enormously according to your requirements. Most of my clients begin with either the six or twelve session package.
-
How long are the sessions?Studies show that after 45 minutes, concentration levels fall off rapidly. So I schedule my sessions for 60 minutes which gives ample time for a solid 45 minutes of deep focus.
-
How often are the sessions?There is no fixed interval but weekly seems to work best for most people. Expect 'homework' between your sessions so there needs to be time for you to complete the tasks. That said, some clients want an intensive 'bootcamp' style experience with daily sessions for rapid results. This can work well if you have the motivation and there is availability in my calendar. Please discuss this with me if you're interested in a bootcamp.

How is a coach different to a therapist?Simply put, a therapist such as a counsellor or psychotherapist works with clients over the long-term. The therapist is a healthcare professional who can diagnose and help resolve issues with problematic behaviours, beliefs and relationships. Therapy focuses on the past, and on introspection and analysis; hopefully resolving past issues and creating more stability and happiness in the future. In life coaching the client works with a coach (who is typically not a healthcare professional) to gain clarity on goals, identify problematic behaviours so that an action plan can be put in place to achieve desired results. The main difference between a therapist and a coach is the coach takes the clients current situation as a starting point and supports the client identify their strengths and skillset to help move them forward. A coach helps a client eliminate limiting beliefs and identify what blockages may be holding them back from moving forward. Coaching helps people gain clarity and allows them to gain full control of their life to achieve goals. Now take my five minute quiz and learn whether you'd most benefit from sessions with a coach or a therapist (or even both!):
-
How do I pay?I accept multiple methods of payment: - Bank transfer - PayPal - Cash - Bitcoin
-
How long before I see results?Results are completely dependent on you. Not just how much work you put in but most importantly how much you actually want to change.
-
Do I need a coach or a therapist?If you have a lot of unresolved past trauma or mental health issues that are problematic for you, I recommend seeing a therapist before thinking of coaching. Sometimes you can use both. Read about this issue and take a short quiz to help you decide here: Coach Or Therapist
-
Do you use CBT?There are certain aspects of CBT that I use in my coaching practice to help understand where you are and how to best support you moving forward. However, this is not therapy so I use various coaching tools to get you shifting.
-
Do you use NLP?Yes. I use NLP in my coaching for understanding language used, thought patterns and programming new strategies for thinking.
-
How much does it cost?I offer a range of membership levels to suit everyone, no matter where you are on your journey.
