Counselling generally aims to solve problems by understanding what happened in the past. Coaching is almost exclusively future-focused. To counsel means to give advice. Coaches do not give advice – instead we use various techniques to facilitate the process of an individual finding the best path for themselves.

No, training tells individuals what to do in certain circumstances. Mentoring often has some elements of coaching but differs in that the mentor also offers guidance based on their experience. If you get told what to do or how to solve a problem then it is not coaching.
All of us have the answers within us, a life coach will enable you to set your own new direction.

If you want a change of some sort – whether it is changing or creating a habit or behaviour, improving your work-life balance, changing your career, improving your relationships, being more creative at work etc. – and importantly,  you are ready to take steps to achieve it, then you will benefit from having a life coach.

As a guide, it’s hard to create lasting change in less than six sessions. However, every individual has different needs and some may need more or less.

Given the current pandemic, for the forseeable future, we ‘meet’ via Skype or Zoom. Each session lasts 50 minutes. During this time we will review your progress and agree some actions to help consolidate your new learning and keep you moving forward.

Each person is at a different place on their own journey, so it will depend on your own progress and agreed pace.
As a guide, we meet no less than a week apart to allow time for your planned actions, and no more than one month to keep continuity and progress.

For individual coaching it costs £70 per session, or £350 if a block of 6 sessions are booked in advance.
For team building sessions, presentations and workshops the cost depends on the numbers involved, length of time and desired outcomes, so please enquire directly for more information.

Simply call or email me to arrange a 20 minute discovery call where we’ll find out a bit more about each other.
By the end of the call we’ll know if we are a match for each other, and if so, we’ll agree a number of sessions to get you to your desired goal or outcome.
