1. What is coaching? It
is a collaborative partnership between a coach and client
and offers you the space which is totally safe to think and
talk openly. It gives you time to think, talk and take action
about YOU and what you really want from the rest of your life.
2. So why coaching and not
counselling?
Simply, coaching deals with the future
and it concentrates on where you want to go. Counselling looks
predominately at the past and deals with emotional issues.
3. So how does it work-we don’t
live in the same town?
Life coaching can be undertaken over
the phone, face one-to-one and even email.
Often telephone coaching means valuable travel time isn’t
wasted. Many clients also find it a little easier to be open
from the privacy and comfort of their own environment. It
is also natural to combine methods, i.e. one-to-one sessions
and telephone sessions.
4. How long does coaching take
then?
If you remember earlier we said it’s
not about working miracles over night. Success depends on
you and the effort you put in. Typically clients work with
their Life Coach for about 3-6 months. After initial work
is completed many often ‘come back’ to visit their
coach with further challenges.
5. How do I know you know what
you are talking about?
Life Coaching is growing in popularity
and sadly many award themselves the title with little or no
expertise or actual skill. It is wise to ensure your Life
Coach has graduated or undertaken an accredited training programme.
It is also worth finding out if they are a member of the International
Coach Federation (ICF).
6. I hear that Life Coaching
is really expensive?
Fees vary from coach to coach but tend to be charged monthly.

note that if you need something tailored to your life style/needs
- PLEASE ask!
