Coaching is a partnership between a dedicated, professional coach and a Client engaged in a thought-provoking and creative process that intends to inspire the client to maximise personal and professional potential. It is using evidence-based practices designed to people improve mindset and wellbeing through a focus on strengths, resilience, emotions management, relationships, and personal growth.

Coaching is not counselling or therapy. If you have a mental health condition, it is better to go to a therapist and ask for their advice for your particular situation, on whether working with a coach is also an option. Typically, therapy tends to focus more on the past and resolve the trauma of a past issue, while coaching is focused on the present and the future, helping you achieve what you’d like to achieve, more action- and experiment- focused. There isn’t a need for anything to be “wrong” to work with a coach, it’s about wanting something different for yourself, wanting to thrive.

A session is usually 1 hour and is client-lead. There is a hard stop at 90 min. That means that the client comes prepared to the session with a topic to discuss. This can be any relevant and top of mind topic from exploring a question, preparing for an event or a conversation to come, dealing with something that happened or developing strategies. At the end of the session we may agree on between-sessions assignments that can range from reading/watching talks, reflection exercices, action points or other relevant assignments to which you are happy to commit to.

We understand that sometimes a pre-booked session needs to be unavoidably rescheduled. We would appreciate a minimum of 48 hours’notice if this is the case and will only agree to this on one occasion. If a pre-booked session is missed or cancelled with less than 48 hours, then this will be charged in full, or counted as one of the sessions in your pre-paid block. (Please refer to clause 7 in our Terms and Conditions for full details regarding our Cancellation Policy.)

Absolutely. I work online, so as long as our time zones align, we’re good to go. I can accept payment in euros, US dollars, and other currencies – just ask if you’re not sure!
