Coaching FAQs
What are your qualifications and experience as a coach?
I have completed the CTI CPCC Accreditation. This is equivalent to the ICF (International Coaching Federation) PCC
How much do your coaching services cost?
The Chemistry/Discovery Session is completely free with absolutely no obligation—my priority is ensuring you find the right coaching relationship, whether that's with me or someone else. For specific pricing information, please contact me directly. I offer flexible payment options to accommodate different financial situations. In general, payment is required prior to our coaching sessions, and packages offer better value than individual sessions.
​What coaching approach or methodology do you use?
I practice Co-Active Coaching, developed by CTI. This approach is built on the understanding that clients are naturally creative, resourceful, and whole. The "Co" represents being in collaboration, while the "Active" refers to taking purposeful action. Co-Active Coaching is distinct because it: Works with the whole person—mind, body, spirit, and emotions Focuses on transformation rather than just transactions or goals Balances doing (achieving outcomes) with being (personal growth) Creates a powerful alliance between coach and client Emphasizes curiosity and discovery rather than advice-giving
What happens if I need to reschedule or cancel a session?
Life happens! I completely understand that schedules sometimes need to change. I just ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. This gives me a chance to offer your slot to someone else. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice will be considered used, except in genuine emergencies. This policy helps keep our coaching relationship solid and respects both our time commitments.
What happens in a typical coaching session?
While each session is uniquely tailored to your needs and circumstances, the essential structure creates a space for intentional focus on what matters most to you. During our sessions, you'll have the opportunity to step back from daily reactivity and consciously examine important areas of your life. Through powerful questioning and active listening, I'll help you gain clarity, uncover blind spots, and generate new perspectives. You determine the focus of each session, but I'll guide the process to ensure we move beyond surface-level discussion into meaningful exploration and actionable insights. The most successful clients come prepared to engage fully, remain curious, and be willing to experiment with new approaches. Sessions typically include: Establishing what you want to focus on Exploring your current reality Identifying limiting beliefs or obstacles Discovering new possibilities Creating actionable commitments Celebrating progress and learnings
What kind of commitment do I need to make to see results?
Simply put, you'll get out what you put in. The coaching package you choose sets the timeframe, but how you engage between sessions really shapes your results. When we design our alliance, we'll talk about what level of commitment feels right and doable for you. This might include: Showing up for all our scheduled sessions Following through on the actions you commit to between sessions Practicing new awareness and behaviours in your everyday life Being honest about challenges when they come up Keeping an open mind to new possibilities I meet you exactly where you are and work with whatever level of commitment you can bring—we'll design our relationship to match that.
The difference between
Therapy and Coaching
In coaching, we don't look back.
When should I go to Therapy?
​
-
Consider therapy when you're struggling with past traumas, mental health issues, or emotional wounds that are preventing normal functioning in your daily life.
​​
When should I contact a Coach?
​
-
Reach out to a coach when you want to act with intentionality rather than just going through the motions, seeking to achieve meaningful goals in your present circumstances.
​​
While therapy typically focuses on healing past wounds and processing unresolved traumas to help you return to a baseline level of functioning, coaching meets you where you are today and partners with you to build the life you envision.
Therapy often addresses historical issues, whereas coaching directs its attention toward growth, potential, and creating the future you desire.
​
Many people benefit from both therapy and coaching at the same time. Life rarely fits into neat categories - you might need therapy's healing touch in some areas while simultaneously working with a coach to intentionally design other aspects of your life.
These approaches complement rather than replace each other, addressing different needs on your journey.
