Frequently Asked Questions

---

I have completed a diploma in life coaching and have several years of experience working with clients to help them achieve their goals.

Yes, I offer both in-person and virtual coaching sessions to accommodate the needs and preferences of my clients. However the in-person is limited to the Cotswolds. Other locations can be arranged but will come at an increased rate.

The frequency of coaching sessions depends on the individual and their goals. Some clients prefer to meet weekly, while others may meet bi-weekly.

 Coaching gives you dedicated space to step away from the noise of everyday life and focus on you.

Rather than me telling you what to do, I'll use questions, reflection and coaching tools to help you understand what's going on, recognise patterns, explore what you really want and work out what your next steps could look like.

Think less “here's the answer” and more “let's help you find your answer.”

You don't need to have a huge problem or be in the middle of a major life crisis.

You might simply feel disconnected from yourself, stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about what you want next.

If you're thinking “something needs to change, but I don't really know what”, that's actually a very good place to start. 

That's completely okay and often part of the reason people come to coaching.

You don't need to arrive with a perfectly formed goal. We can start with what's happening for you right now and gently untangle things from there.

No. Coaching isn't therapy and it isn't a replacement for professional mental health support.

While your past experiences may naturally come into our conversations, coaching generally focuses on understanding where you are now, what you want to change and how you can move forward.

If I feel that what you're experiencing would be better supported by another professional, I'll always be open with you about that.

No because I don't believe someone else should be making your life decisions for you.

I'll listen, ask questions, challenge you when it could be helpful and help you look at things from different perspectives.

Ultimately, you remain in control of your choices.

There's no test, no performance and no expectation that you arrive knowing exactly what you want to say.

We'll talk about what's going on for you, explore what's underneath it and identify what feels important.

Depending on the session, we may use exercises or coaching tools to help you see things differently and turn those insights into realistic next steps.

You wouldn't be the first and you certainly won't be the last.

Life transitions can bring up all sorts of emotions. You don't need to apologise for them or hold everything together in our sessions.

This is a judgement-free space where you can be honest about how things really feel.

No.

If you're not sure where to begin, the ROOT Reset is a one-off session designed to help you pause, take stock and start understanding what's going on for you.

If you'd like more ongoing support, we can then explore whether Rooted & Bloom or Grow & Flourish feels right for you.

There's no pressure to commit to something that doesn't feel right.

Yes. What you share during coaching is treated confidentially, within the professional and safeguarding boundaries that apply to my coaching practice.

I'll explain these clearly before we begin so you know exactly where you stand.

Absolutely.

You don't need to have lived my story for me to support you with yours.

My own experiences help me understand what losing connection with yourself can feel like, but our sessions aren't about my experiences they're about you.

Start with a conversation.

You don't have to decide whether coaching is right for you before getting in touch. A discovery call gives us the chance to talk about what's going on, what you'd like support with and whether I feel like the right coach for you.

No pressure. No obligation. Just a conversation.
