Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about life and business coaching
-
You're unsure of your next step, and asking friends and family for advice is leaving you even more confused than you already were
You're feeling stuck in a rut in your life or business and you want to find your spark again so you can feel lighter and happier day to day
You have a feeling there's something different and more fulfilling you could be doing with your time, but you can't put your finger on it yet
You know something needs to change in terms of your mindset and self-talk, but you don't know where to start
The personal development podcasts and books are great, but they're not bringing about the changes you crave in your life or business
You're fed up of constantly looking for the secret to confidence, and just want to find a way to believe in yourself that actually works

No. Coaching and therapy are different and one cannot replace the other. Coaching focuses on the present and the future, and while we will acknowledge your past and how this impacts your present-day reality, we will not delve deep into your personal history or seek to heal things that require specialist therapeutic intervention.

We will meet on Zoom for a video call (unless otherwise agreed - you can choose phone/audio coaching if you prefer) for 1 hour every other week for 6 months (or once for 90 minutes, then 30 minutes one month later, if you choose my Lightning Session).
I’ll check in with you at the beginning of each session to see what you’d like to be coached on, and if you’re not sure, that’s OK. It will become clear through our discussion and I will guide you to hone in on what’s most important to you.
I will ask you some questions and offer you exercises or visualisations based on what will be most helpful. I’ll share tools that you take away and apply in all areas of your work and life. You’ll be learning skills to keep forever!

Professional training is really important to me, so I’m proud to have graduated from two coaching courses that are accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF).
I was originally trained by Co-Active Training Institute and am now also a Certified Self-belief Coach, having completed certification in Sas Petherick’s Self-belief Coaching Academy. I’ve also taken additional short courses and workshops to deepen my skills, in modalities such as Internal Family Systems, practicing self-compassion, and group coaching.
I’ve completed over 150 hours of ICF-accredited coach training and have over 230 hours of experience coaching clients one-to-one (not including mentoring work). I undertake monthly coaching supervision with a qualified supervisor to ensure I’m delivering safe, ethical and effective coaching. I am fully insured.

It’s never too soon to get coaching. Whether you’re in the idea stage of starting your own business, or you do it part-time alongside other work, or you’re newly full-time or several years into being self-employed, you can benefit from self-belief coaching.
If you experience self-doubt that causes you to procrastinate, people-please, get stuck in perfectionism and generally feel overwhelmed and exhausted by it all, self-belief coaching is absolutely for you. It will change the way you run your business and live your life in all sorts of amazing ways.

For my 6-month coaching package, your regular coaching sessions will be 60-minute calls, with the first session being 90-minutes to lay a strong foundation for our work together.
You will then want to set aside 30-60 minutes per week for homework, which is optional but recommended in order to get the most out of the coaching. Sometimes this will be things you’re doing anyway, that you’ll be experimenting with doing differently.

Yes. I am based in Bristol, England but work with international clients as all my calls take place via Zoom.
My office hours are 10am - 5pm UK time so we can usually find a slot that suits both of our time zones.
Use this time zone converter to see if we’re compatible to work together (I hold sessions Monday - Friday, between 10am and 5pm UK time.)
Please note, exchange rates fluctuate all the time, so any prices not in British Pounds are just listed as estimates and you’ll need to check the current rate yourself for an accurate calculation.

Yes. You are more than welcome to pay for your coaching in instalments due over the course of our work together, at no extra cost (interest-free).
If you’re not based in the UK, you’ll also be able to access these instalments as my invoice system accepts card payments, so you can pay in your own currency. Exchange rates fluctuate all the time, so any prices not in British Pounds are just listed as estimates.
