There are two ways to work with me. I coach remotely and in person. I offer 60 minute sessions online or meet in person for 90 minute sessions which can be combined with a physical, meditation/embodied practice. I work in outside spaces if the weather permits and this is available to us. 

When using technology, I often use Zoom but am open to working with the platform you prefer (Hangouts, Teams etc). I will often set some self-work in-between sessions and keep in touch with you around this. I will also send media, podcasts, and articles to support what you’re working on.

I offer two ways to work with me. One option is to work on a retained basis, meeting every other week for a 90 minutes coaching session (or similar frequency). You can also reach out to me before or after big meetings, check-in on the progress of the goals you agree to, or discuss a specific challenge you may be facing between sessions.

Another option is to schedule a certain number of coaching sessions. This way of working may also be appropriate if there’s a need to focus on a clearly defined short-term challenge. Either option can work well depending on your situation and preferences.

It takes time for real change to take effect, so I ask for a minimum of 8 sessions. However, if you find that the process does not work for you for any reason, I will refund all sessions that have not been taken.

If we’re scheduling a package of coaching sessions, I charge depending upon your earnings ranging from £80 to £200/hour of face to face time.

I also offer a monthly retainer rate of £550, assuming a 90 minute coaching session every two weeks with ongoing support between sessions. The exact quote will depend mainly on your earnings and the frequency of sessions we agree.

I also pledge to work pro bono with at least two clients at a time. This is my way of giving back and supporting those who may not be able to afford coaching. Please reach out if this applies to you.

In order to begin a coaching engagement, we would arrange a free 45-minute discovery call where we would speak about your expectations and past experiences, along with my background and coaching philosophy.

The decision to hire a coach is a big one, so it's worth talking to several people (most coaches offer a free sample session) to find out who's right for you. Even then, I would encourage you to take a few days to reflect before committing to working with a specific coach.

As a follow-up to the discovery session, I will summarise what I learned from you and offer a suggested way forward, if I believe I am the right coach for you. If I don’t think there’s a good fit between us, I will explain it and recommend other coaches or approaches that might be helpful.

It makes all the difference in coaching to be prepared. A little bit of preparation will get more benefits from your time and money than just showing up.

• Consider the notes I sent you (or the notes you might have taken) in light of what we discussed in the last meeting.

• During this session, consider what has happened since then. How did things differ? How were they similar? Was there anything you learned? Why is that important?

• Take some time to consider what you hope to gain from today's session. 

• Have space before a coaching session.

• It's important that you're in a private, quiet space where you won't be disrupted. Your internet connection should also be fast and reliable.

I’m a trained therapist, so I will bring some of my knowledge, skills and techniques to our sessions, however this is not therapy. During coaching, we explore the present and the future. We discuss what has happened so far and what has yet to come. Healing from the past is an important part of therapy. I will recommend a therapist if I feel you would benefit from one.

Coaching helps its clients grow by facilitating the process by reflecting on what they see, asking open-ended, honest questions, and holding them accountable to their actions and outcomes. Mentors, on the other hand, provide their mentees with advice and experience.

In coaching, open-ended questions are asked without attachment to the outcome. Although coaches help clients achieve their goals, they are not responsible for delivering them, whereas consultants are.

We will be able to build a strong coaching relationship the more I learn about what works best for you. My regular check-ins with you will involve asking for feedback so we can develop our relationship and understanding of each other.

I will also share what I observe about our coaching relationship so that it continues to grow.

Endings are as important as beginnings.

No coaching relationship should last forever. My job as a coach is to remove myself from the picture by helping you grow, reach your goals, gain skills and transform yourself.

Initially, we will discuss our "agenda", the desired outcomes for the coaching, and determine the length of the initial engagement.

After the process, we'll review the results, what we achieved, and what we learned, and decide whether we want to move forward on a new agenda. In my opinion, it's healthy to agree in advance on the point when we'll pause and recommit to the coaching relationship if it feels right for both of us.
