Frequently asked questions
What is coaching?
Coaching is a way of asking powerful questions that help you see where you might be stuck, offers new perspectives on current conundrums and shines a light on solutions you may not have considered before. A great coach will focus on you, actively listen and gently challenge some of your self-limiting beliefs, the stories you tell yourself and the script that has been written for you by your family and background.
Coaching is not therapy, counselling, consultancy or mentoring. I will not give advice, direct you towards a certain path or action, or tell you how I would handle your situation.
What should I get coached on?
That's entirely up to you! We work using coaching principles and methodologies which can be applied to any person and any situation. Many people use coaching for concrete goals like weight loss, or dating. Some will use it for planning a promotion, improving relationships or having a difficult conversation. It doesn't have to be big life situations (though it absolutely can be) and can be applied to general feelings like overwhelm, anxiety or a lack of direction. Whatever it may be, it will be your choice.
Do I need a specialist coach?
Whilst lots of coaches specialise in areas like business, careers or sports or have particular expertise in topics like wellness, spirituality or life coaching (or even communication for women!) the principles of coaching remain the same. I coach the person, not the problem.
How much does it cost?
For most coaching I would say a rough estimate of £60 - £120 per hour, depending on your location, your needs and other factors, such as time and capacity. However, I prefer to offer packages like an initial block of 3 sessions or even 6 - 12 sessions sometimes. I won't know this until I talk to you and find out a bit more about you and whether we can work together. I'm also flexible and want to work around you so that our time together has impact and makes a real difference.
For September 2026 - March 2027 I am also offering a limited number of Pay What You Can sessions.
For more information about these sessions, or to book any of my services, please get in touch to book a Discovery Call.
What is a Discovery Call?
It is simply a 15 minute chat for us to connect and for you to ask me any questions. I'll get an idea of what you are looking for and whether I can help. There is no obligation to make a decision either way and definitely no hard sell!
If you decide you do want to work with me there is an onboarding process with a contract, invoice and provisional schedule. Flexibility is built in.
