Getting started with coaching
If you think I might be the right coach for you, call or email – we can meet in person or by skype, depending on where you are. I do a free 20-minute phone consultation first so we can get to know each other a little. Thereafter, coaching sessions last between 60 and 70 minutes and are usually scheduled every week.
Coaching can be short-term (for example, to help you prepare for a job interview of performance appraisal) or longer-term (e.g. when you want to do a broader-focused review and plan for your life or career).
Coaching is very active. It’s for the person who is enthusiastic about making changes in their life and looking for insight, an action plan and encouragement.
Coaching is NOT therapy, which is better suited to conditions characterised by emotional pain and suffering, either acute (as in post-natal depression) or chronic (such as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, ongoing anxiety, physical or substance abuse).
