FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS COACHING?
Coaching is a transformative process that empowers individuals to unlock their full potential and attain their personal and professional objectives. Life coaching fosters self-discovery and clarity, enabling clients to navigate everyday challenges with greater autonomy and resilience. Through a collaborative partnership, a coach supports clients in identifying obstacles, crafting actionable strategies, and setting clear, achievable goals.
WHAT IS POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY COACHING?
Positive Psychology Coaching (PPC) integrates the science of positive psychology and coaching to enhance an individual’s well-being, resilience, and happiness. This approach focuses on leveraging a person’s strengths and virtues to foster personal and professional growth rather than solely addressing problems or deficiencies. PPC aims to build on what is working well for the individual, organisation or team in order to achieve their fullest potential.
IS POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY COACHING BETTER THAN REGULAR COACHING?
Extensive research has been undertaken into Positive Psychology and its impact on societal and individual well-being. I believe it is the future of life coaching as we know it, both from a mental health and performance perspective and therefore invested heavily in my studies. My qualifications and accreditation in this field are among some of the highest achievable in Europe (and globally) and I am very proud to be a practitioner in this emerging field.
CAN I BOOK A FREE INTRO SESSION?
Yes. I offer a no-obligation 30-minute discovery call to prospective clients. Here we discuss key themes, objectives, ways of collaborating and ultimately see if we would be a good fit. This is an important phase of the relationship.
IS THERE ANYTHING I NEED TO PREPARE PRIOR TO MY SESSION?
Generally there is not much I will ask clients to prepare outside of our sessions as we do most of our work together. However, there may be occasions where it may be beneficial for a client to complete a small reflective task to maintain the flow of our journey. Ultimately, I want my clients to achieve the most for their investment.
All I ask is that our clients come ready and willing to participate in our sessions fully. If you truly have the desire and motivation for positive change to occur in your life - then we will get you to where you want to be.
WHAT ARE YOUR FEES?
Detailed information can be found on the 'Sessions & Fees' page or discussed further during our initial call.
DO YOU OFFER ANY CONCESSIONS FOR THOSE ON A LOW INCOME?
Yes. 25% of the practice is dedicated to affordable coaching. This includes schools, universities, public sector and low-income households. Please get in touch if you would like to know more information or to join our wait list.
WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL A SESSION?
Forty-eight hours notice is required for any cancellations unless there are exceptional circumstances. In this case we will aim to reschedule the session for a mutually convenient time. Cancellations within this time will be charged 50% of the full session fee.
DO YOU HAVE COACHING QUALIFICATIONS?
Absolutely. As you may know, coaching is a hugely unregulated field. I spent over four years studying to be a Life Coach including an MSc in Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology. I take my professional development very seriously to ensure the best practices for my clients. I am fully qualified, accredited (EMCC) and insured to Life Coach with all qualifications listed on the homepage. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
