If you're new to coaching, you probably have lots of questions about how it works and what is involved. The list below will hopefully answer some of these but if you'd like to know more, please get in touch.
What is Coaching?
Coaching is partnering with you to help you maximize your unlocked potential. Using a series of guided conversations a coach deepens your learning to help you go forward and take action. It evokes transformation, by challenging you to come up with solutions and holding yourself accountable for the agreed actions in the sessions.
How does Coaching work?
Coaching uses questionnaires, active listening and reflecting to help you set goals, create action plans and be accountable for your own progress. These conversations focus on your present and future to find solutions. You have the freedom to decide the length of your frequency of the sessions those statistics show evidence of good progress after six sessions.
Who is Coaching for?
Coaching is a journey with the objective of improving one situation in whatever area they desire. It is a partnership which creates the confidence to take on the challenge of evolving.
Personal Coaching will benefit any individual who would like to improve a certain aspect of their life from lifestyle to fitness or overcoming a personal obstacle. It would also benefit any highly motivated individual who wants to progress in any area of work, whether you're just starting your career, in the midst of your career and are ready for growth, or would like to make a career change.
How is Coaching different from consulting, therapy, or mentoring?
Consulting and mentoring are usually described as having an experienced practitioner working alongside an inexperienced practitioner. The more experienced practitioner then shares their experiences and skills to help the inexperienced practitioner learn from have they might do a particular task.
Therapy is looking at how the past has affected the present. The therapist then tries to break down past experiences to support the present.
Coaching looks at what is happening now and what could potentially be undertaken to improve the future. There is no dwelling on the past, coaching is solely about how to achieve future potential, making the client more responsible and accountable for their own growth.
How long is a Coaching session?
Coaching sessions are normally up to 60 minutes. Initial chemistry sessions which are the first session of a series of sessions can be up to two hours long.

How often are Coaching sessions?
Coaching sessions are usually bi-weekly, this is to give the client the opportunity to undertake and complete any action points agreed in the session or to put in place any changes necessary to maximize that potential.
Where do Coaching sessions take place?
Coaching is a discussion using verbal and nonverbal cues; therefore most sessions are completed face to face in a location suitable for a comfortable environment. An outside coffee shop or a quiet office is ideal. Sometimes due to time restrictions or business needs, they can take place via computer using Teams or Zoom or any other available platform.
When do you have availability?
The Coaching sessions are completely at the behest of the client. They need to be comfortable in the knowledge, that they can get a regular slot to be able to have their sessions and not be disturbed. It is often requested that the client has several options as to when they can be available for the sessions. Then together with the Coach, agree on a regular day and time.
How do I get started with Coaching?
To get started you will need to fill out the coaching questionnaire form if this is your first session or a coaching plan if you have had sessions previously. This will help you clarify your objectives and challenges and give your coach some background information prior to the first meeting.
What is the cost of Coaching and how do I pay?
There are individual session costs and package costs. I also do couples and group sessions at different price points. After agreeing and signing a contract, payments are usually completed in full prior to the first session via bank transfer.
Are you a qualified Coach?
Yes, I am an accredited Associate Certified Coach and a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), I have trained with Performance Consultants International and The Coaching Academy in London specifically for coaching within the education system.
How many Coaching sessions will I need?
This depends on your requirements and personal circumstances but as a guide, I recommend 6 initially.
