FAQs

What is Life Coaching?

Life coaching is a way of identifying specific problems you have, understanding the problem and creating a solution.

As a life coach I work with you to get you from where you are to where you need to be.

See the blog post here

What are your fees?

My rates are very reasonable, but fees vary depending on what kind of coaching you decide is best for you. Contact me for details.

Can we speak before I book a session?

Of course! Use the Contact section of the website to email or call. I also offer a free discovery session, and Introduction to Personal Development workshop if you are local to Northamptonshire. If you are based elsewhere in the UK or globally, please get in touch and I will consider running a virtual session.

Can I get life coaching instead of seeing a therapist?

No. Life coaching is for identifying and overcoming specific problems and is usually completed within 6-12 weeks. While coaching can address issues like confidence, communication, relationships, anxiety etc, it does require a certain level of comfort with your own emotions and patterns of behaviour, and a willingness to experiment to make changes. If you think you may be suffering from mental health problems speak to your GP and ask to see a specialist. Some people do successfully combine coaching (action orientated) with therapy (reflection and contemplation oriented) so if you think this could work for you, please get in touch and we can work in partnership with other support services.

What are your qualifications?

I am a Level 5 SFEDI (Skills for Enterprise) qualified coach, which is equivalent to studying for a Masters Degree. I also hold a Certificate in Facilitation which is subject to annual Continued Professional Development requirements, meaning that I am always updating my skills with the most recent research and best practice.

I have a certificate in Facilitation with the Association of Facilitators, and am accredited in 3 psychometric testing models and a model of team dynamics.

In my day job I work in International Finance, with teams nd individuals to develop sales skills, technical knowledge related to finance, team working, team building and individual performance. I have managed international teams and work with all levels of seniority within the business.

My passion is bringing all of this knowledge to those who might not have the means or the awareness to seek it out for themselves.
