- WHO IS COACHING SUITABLE
FOR?
Coaching is suitable for adults in good mental health who
are excited about the coaching process and are committed to
making positive changes and going for their goals. Motivation
is a key factor as you’ll be assigning yourself actions
to perform between sessions as part of the coaching process.

COACHING, COUNSELLING, CONSULTING
- WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
Coaching is not therapy. It does not deal with the past or
emotional problems. Coaching is not advice giving –
it is about empowering you to find your own answers and solutions.
I will be honest with you if I feel that you need to work
with a different kind of helping professional.

WHERE AND WHEN DO THE SESSIONS
TAKE PLACE?
Many clients like the flexibility of telephone coaching as
it transcends geographical boundaries and travel time. For
those who prefer face-to-face coaching, I do afternoon and
some early evening sessions in Kensington (London). I coach
Mon-Fri.

HOW FREQUENTLY DO YOU RECOMMEND
HAVING APPOINTMENTS?
I recommend weekly appointments when you first start going
for change to keep up the momentum and to reinforce new habits
and ways of being.
-
HOW LONG DOES COACHING TYPICALLY
LAST FOR?
That depends from person to person and from goal to goal.
Some goals are very short term in nature: eg being as prepared
as possible for next week’s job interview, while others
may have a different time frame – eg I want to be coached
until I’ve finished writing my book. As the client,
you will know when you’ve achieved what you’ve
set out to achieve! As a coach, my goal is to create empowered
and self-sufficient clients, so I’m delighted when clients
no longer need me. The decision to end coaching or to have
less frequent sessions once you are on target comes from you.
-
HOW LONG ARE THE SESSIONS,
HOW DO I PAY YOU AND WHAT ARE YOUR RATES?
Your initial appointment is for an hour. You can then choose
either 30 or 60-minute sessions for your weekly folIow-up
appointments. Please contact me for current information on
rates, terms and conditions. All sessions are payable in advance
by cheque in either UK sterling or US dollars.

I’M INTERESTED IN
BEING A CLIENT, WHAT DO I DO NOW?
Please download and complete the
coaching intake form. Consider this form your first coaching
assignment, as it will get you to take stock of your life!
Once I’ve received the form, I’ll give you a call,
so we can have a brief chat to go through the details. If
we both like the sound of each other (and that’s very
important in a coaching relationship!) we’ll get scheduled.
