I'm interested in hiring you as my Coach, what do I do next?

That's easy! Fill in the Contact Form and I will call or e-mail you back to arrange a time and date for your FREE coaching session. This session is a ‘no pressure and no obligation’ session and is really about two things – (1) give you the opportunity to get a feel as to whether Coaching will help you, and (2) to establish a rapport. Rapport between Client and Coach is very important, as without it coaching will not work. My approach is professional, but at the same time relaxed and friendly, so I am sure we'll be fine!

Is Coaching confidential?

Yes. Anything you tell me will be kept in the strictest of confidence. I comply with criteria required by the Data Protection Act 1998. I guarantee that your personal details WILL NOT be passed to any third parties (except in the case of police or other legal body).

Are there issues that Life Coaching doesn't deal with?

Yes. I am a trained Life Coach and my non-directive practice is not a form of therapy nor is it counselling - these deal with the past and how it affects today. When I coach, I deal with the here and now and from this moment on. I have trained in Energy Therapy (EFT) and I find it a powerful and supprtive tool which I use along side Personal Life Coaching. Read more about my work with EFT http://www.mindbodyeft.co.uk.

I would always advise that with matters of addictions, marriage guidance, abuse, clinical depression etc. appropriate professional help should be sought. There are many organisations, with specialist qualified individuals and therapists, to help within these areas.

http://www.ukwebstart.com/supportorgs.html is a very useful site with a directory of just about every support group out there.

If you are looking for a counsellor
http://www.bacp.co.uk will help find one in your area.
I am, however, able to support you, in my role of Personal Life Coach, whilst you are seeking advice or treatment from appropriate professional bodies.

Why do people choose tele-coaching?

Tele-coaching works well for clients for the following reasons:-

Convenience - an appointment can be set up quicker and easier (you could have your first coaching session by the end of today!)
Convenience - coaching can fit in with work and other commitments
Convenience - there is no travel involved
Convenience - you are not restricted to local Life Coaching
Convenience - you are not restricted to your locality and can maintain a degree of anonymity
Convenience - I can work with you no matter where you are in the world!

Do you Skype?

Yes I Skype - although I prefer not to!!! The success of video chats does depend on the quality of connection

How much does it cost?

I charge a flat rate of £45 per hour, this applies to one-to-one coaching and tele-coaching and video coaching. The cost of the call is included (landline only) although there may be additional costs to cover overseas calls. I can accept secure on-line payment by credit card, via Paypal. I will send you a confirmation e-mail, which will include a link to a Paypal invoice, where the details of your transaction will have already been setup for you

Can I cancel?

Please give 24 hours notice wherever possible.
