Coaching

At essence, coaching is two things: listening and questioning to enable thinking and action.


As a coach, my approach is bespoke, client-led, and emerges from our initial sessions. 

I prefer this to a more top down, diagnostic model, as it allows for finding a way, rather than prescribing one.

 

You may want to set goals and actions and use my coaching to be held accountable to them. 

Or you may prefer to explore ideas openly and deeply, with me as a compassionate, critically engaged collaborator. 

We may use coaching tools to explore ideas, or we may keep it unstructured and dynamic.

However we find ourselves working, I will help you get the most out of our time together.

Coaching FAQ'S

What is the difference between coaching and mentoring?

Mentoring is about giving advice and information based on experience. Coaching enables you to come up with your own answers, under the belief that finding your own journey is more likely to lead to you sticking with it. Coaches can give advice and information, but sparingly and always with permission first. I can also offer mentoring in any of my specialisms – drop me a line to discuss more.

What is the difference between coaching and counselling?

Counselling is an open-ended medical process which looks at past trauma to identify the roots of present issues. Coaching is time-limited, future focussed, does not centre on the past or trauma, and can be very specific to areas of professional or personal development. Although coaching can be ‘therapeutic’ in a broad sense, and there are crossovers in some areas of the practices, I am not a medical professional and it is an important distinction to make.

Coaching can be an emotionally difficult and triggering process, however professionally specific we make it. We will discuss this in our initial consultation.

How much time does coaching take?

I recommend coaching sessions to be 1 hour in length, and booked in arcs of 6 sessions. Having a finish line in view is very useful for making progress. Once you have completed your sessions we will review your progress and decide how to continue.


However, I’m flexible. You can book single sessions, and we can arrange shorter or longer sessions to suit.
