What is a coach?

·        A coach is someone who makes a difference in your life, is focused 100% on you and promotes personal and professional development. 

·        A coach wants a lot for you and is totally committed to your success.

·        Coaching is a profession with standards, ethics and professional certification process.

Is a coach like a therapist?

·        No.  A therapist or counselor will explore emotional issues, your past or assist you with a crisis.   While a coach works with you to improve your present situation, create new possibilities for the future and enhance your life.    

The analogy of a bicycle is a great way to explain   

A therapist would help the client overcome a problem with bicycles by examining their past experiences with bicycles, how they feel about them now, and what causes their concerns or problems with bicycles.

A consultant would help the client understand the different types of bicycles and their characteristics, and assist in selecting the right model for the client's needs.

A coach would encourage the client to ride the bicycle and would ride alongside, offering encouragement, tips, and support while challenging the client to ride further or faster or have more fun.

How does it work?

·        Coaching takes place during regular sessions in person or by telephone. We schedule regular appointments at your convenience.  As your coach I will partner you as you face challenges, explore options, reach goals and maximize professional and personal opportunities. All our sessions are confidential.

·        Personal ccoaching sessions will take place 3 or 4 times a month depending on whether it is a 4 or 5 week month.  No sessions are held on the last week of the month. In between sessions there is unlimited email access to share updates, challenges and wins.   Career coaching sessions will be dependent on your needs, and can be discussed during the consultation session. 

 How much does it cost?

·        The fees are £180 per month for personal coaching to be paid at the beginning of each month prior to our coaching sessions. All fees include unlimited email contact.

·        For information on the career coaching fees please contact me.

Does it matter where I live?

·        Not at all.  The majority of my coaching is carried out by phone.  As long as you have access to a telephone we can work together.  I welcome international enquiries.

How long does someone work with a coach?

·        For coaching to be effective a minimum of three months is usual.   However, some issues can be resolved quickly by short-term coaching.
