Is life coaching the same as therapy?
No. Therapy focuses on healing the past. Life coaching focuses on the future while taking into consideration what has happened in the past. Goal setting and self-improvement is focussed upon in coaching.
Who works with a life coach?
Everyone and everyone can benefit from a life coach. People of all ages and walks of life find coaching beneficial. Professionals, business owners, parents, youth, men, women, entrepreneurs and people who desire change are some of the people who work with a life coach.
Why do people have life coaches?
All sorts of reasons but usually to improve some are of their lives e.g. health, relationships, confidence, self-esteem, business, finances, work situation, family dynamics etc. Clients range from executives, to stay at home parents to teenagers to grandparents – everyone is looking for something different. Clients really enjoy having a sounding board and being challenged.
What if I don’t like the life coach?
Life coaching is a partnership. You should take advantage of the free session, this allows both the life coach and the individual to see if they ‘click’ and if they can work together.
How long should I work with a life coach?
Some clients see real results after 3 sessions, some 3 to 6 months and some 6 to 12 months. It depends on the goals, the relationship and the determination of the client.
How can I measure success?
You can measure success in several ways: external factors e.g. increase in finance, hours of work, fitness levels but you can also use self-assessments and session feedback. I will determine these measures depending on the client and personality type.
What if I need a different type of therapy?
I will refer and recommend different therapists if I think that the client requires different therapy.
What is NLP?
NLP (neuro linguistic programming) explores the relationship between how we think (neuro), how we communicate both verbally and non-verbally (linguistic) and our patterns of behaviour and emotion (programmes).
How much does it cost?
Sessions differ in cost depending on how many sessions are booked and whether it is face to face, on the telephone or online coaching.
Are there any guarantees?
The only guarantee is that if you keep doing what you’ve always done and don’t do anything different, you will always get what you’ve always got!! However, I do personally guarantee that you will receive massive benefit and insight after 3 sessions.
What should I expect in a typical session?
A typical session will involve relaxing, exploring any challenges / progress since the last session, finding out where you want to go next, mutually agreeing on tasks.
What are the benefits?
A more fulfilled and happier life, more time and productivity, less stress and more energy and reaching goals much faster than on your own. You will also experience lots of 'aha' moments. Please see the benefits section for many more benefits / reasons to work with a life coach.
What if I don’t know what I want?
I will work with you using specific exercise to identify what it is that you really want.
What if I want to cancel?
Working month to month and paying 2 sessions in advance ensures that you can cancel at any time. If you think you may want to cancel then this is the best option as pre-booked sessions are non-refundable.
What if I like the life coach but am not satisfied in some way?
I will continuously ask for feedback and better ways to work with you. Suggestions and feedback are welcome either during the session or afterwards via email.
