Question 1

What can I expect during a typical session?

Accepted Answer

Free consultation: The free consultation is a casual chat for us to get to know each other. I will ask you questions to understand the struggles you'd like help with and any goals and expectations you have. I will also explain how I work and give you a chance to ask any question.

Initial session: The initial session is 60 minutes and will involve me getting a more in-depth overview of what's happening in your life right now, what you struggle with & why and what your dreams for the future are. We will also start to create a clear idea of the changes you'd like to create and set clear goals and outcomes for our work together (although these are not set in stone and may shift throughout the process).

Typical sessions: Your typical sessions will last 50 minutes. These usually involve us identifying small steps towards your larger goal, as well as action steps and blocks which might get in the way. We will be setting practical action steps, working with your emotional & somatic responses towards the changes you want to create to ensure you're able to stick to the changes and that you feel good and excited making the changes, instead of forced. We will also be incorporating manifestation elements to help you gain clarify on what feels authentic to you, create alignment with yourself and your goal and to attract it into your reality with ease.  Each session will look a bit different based on your individual needs.

I will also provide you with resources and tools to use in-between the session to ensure you're continuously supported.

Question 2

How should I prepare for my session?

Accepted Answer

To prepare make sure you're in a quiet, comfortable space where you're able to freely share and ensure confidentiality is maintained. All sessions are carried out online so ensure you have a secure internet connection, are able to access the session link and have a working camera & microphone.

If possible, I also recommend for all clients to secure 15-30 minutes after the session to process before returning to daily responsibilities.

Question 3

What’s the difference between coaching and counselling/therapy?

Accepted Answer

Both coaching and counselling (as well as other therapies) are grounded in human psychology.

While the goal of both is to create positive change for the client, coaching is a more action-oriented process that focuses on creating tangible changes and achieving specific goals.

Coaching is not usually aimed at treating  mental health disorders however could help with issues such as anxiety, stress or depressive feelings. It is a good choice for those who find themselves saying "Yes, but what do we do about it?" in their therapeutic journey.

Question 4

Wouldn’t traditional therapy be more effective for dealing trauma and complex issues?

Accepted Answer

Although coaching does differ from therapy, they both use psychology to create change in people's lives and deal with a variety of complex issues.

Just as you'd expect in therapeutic approaches, my coaching approach uses evidence-based methods such as mindfulness techniques,  somatic practices and trauma-informed strategies. My work also draws on theories often employed in therapy such as psychodynamic, CBT or Gestalt. On top of that I integrate metaphysical approaches to complement the psychology-based methods. All of this ensures I can create real impact for my clients.

My coaching approach includes a targeted approach to help you create a more authentic, vibrant life. This includes working with traumatic imprints, however coaching is not designed to directly treat mental health conditions such as PTSD.

Question 5

What if I’m skeptical that this coaching program can deliver lasting change, especially after trying other methods that didn’t work?

Accepted Answer

It's completely normal to feel skeptical, especially if past experiences have left you disappointed. After negative experiences many of us are left  feeling "unfixable" and lose self-confidence in our ability to change.

What allows us to create lasting change in this programme is tacking your challenges at their root. We do this through a trauma-focused approach that works with your body to process past hurts which have left you stuck and unhappy.

Through a holistic approach that uses psychology as well as metaphysical methods like manifestation, we are able to tackle the issue from every angle.

However, it’s important to remember transformation is a journey, not a quick fix.  I’m here to support you through the ups and downs. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, guiding you toward real, lasting change.

Question 6

How will I know I'm making progress?

Accepted Answer

It can be difficult to conceptualise how intangible outcomes such as increased joy, connection and happiness can be measured or tracked.

In the programme we translate these into tangible changes, such as being able to enjoy family time without feeling stressed or signing up for a new course as a first step towards a new career.

We continually track your progress through regular goal check-ins and personalised milestones.

Question 7

What if I’m afraid it won't work for me?

Accepted Answer

It’s natural to feel apprehensive about change, especially since our minds often resist change as a way of keeping us safe. That's why this programme is designed to address these "protection" mechanisms, which may have previously hindered your progress and made you lose confidence in your ability to change.

And remember, you won't be doing this alone. The coaching programme is designed to provide a supportive environment tailored to your needs and challenges. We start with small, manageable steps to ensure you’re not overwhelmed. As you experience each success, no matter how small, your confidence and self-belief will grow.

Question 8

What if I’m afraid I won’t be able to commit long enough to see results?

Accepted Answer

For many, the thought of having to commit to something may seem overwhelming or they might not believe in their ability to stick to it.

While there's no promise on how quickly you will achieve your desired outcome, there is also no “fast track” to create lasting change. This programme is not designed to offer quick fixes, but rather sustainable, long-lasting change.

A big benefit of having a coach is having an accountability which helps you stay committed. Many clients also find that once they start seeing initial improvements, their motivation and commitment grow.

Question 9

Do you offer payment plans or discounts?

Accepted Answer

I understand that the cost may be a significant investment for some. To accommodate this, I offer flexible payment plans, allowing you to spread the cost over 3 months.

Additionally, I provide discounts for individuals on low income or students. Please get in touch for more information.

Question 10

What problems can you help me with?

Accepted Answer

Common issues I work with (as well as my own past experience) include: 
- Waking up each day feeling like you’re going through the motions. 
- Feeling like life is passing you by.
-  Dreading your routine and delaying starting your daily responsibilities. 
- Not being able to enjoy the present or the good things in your life. 
- Feeling a pressure to achieve something more (perhaps a dream you have) but holding yourself back.
- Daily life leaves you too tired to pursue what actually matters. 
- Pushing yourself to create change but ending up self-sabotaging and feeling guilty and lazy. 
- Desire to withdraw or escape through behaviour like excessive scrolling, overworking, drinking etc. 
- Feeling constantly on edge, with small things setting you off. 
- Worrying about being perceived well by others more than how you perceive yourself. 
- Excess negative thought, worries and self-doubt about your abilities. 
- Feeling ashamed or guilty for not being able to follow through or stick to your goals.

Question 11

What results can I expect?

Accepted Answer

- Actively start pursuing goals & dreams that align to your authentic desires & values, or discover what will make you feel fulfilled (if you're not sure what that is).
- Wake up looking forward to the day.
- Feel safe & present in your body and reconnected to the world around you.
- Shift from guilt and shame to feeling self-compassionate and empowered to create the changes you desire.
