Are you the right coach for me?
Working out if we are a good coach / client fit is important.
Much of the magic in coaching comes from the relationship of trust between us, so being able to relate to each other is key. This doesn’t mean we will always see eye to eye or that I won't challenge you, but I will listen and you will be heard.
The initial consultation is a time to check that connection and if you don't think I am the right coach for you then that's fine. Don't worry, I won't be offended!
What does it cost?
I offer...
A free, no obligation, 30 minute initial consultation.
One to One Coaching: at £60 per 1 hour session or £330 for a block of six sessions.
Concession rates are available on request.
Group coaching: £400 for each 2 hour session for groups of up to 6 people.
On line tools: to be confirmed.
So what are you like?
Whilst I would never underestimate the power of a good conversation, one of my key values is playfulness!
Plato said 'you can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation' and who am I to question Plato!
So don’t be surprised if you leave our sessions smiling as well as thinking.
Alongside playfulness I also value equality, curiosity, connection, support and creativity. Becoming a coach has bought me closer in line with these essentials of who I am and this, in turn, has bought me much happiness.

What if things get too difficult?
At times, life gets hectic and you might find this is just not the right time for you to make big changes.
Introspection literally means taking a look at what is going on inside and at times this can bring up difficult emotions and memories. These may need to be looked at and worked through separately before you are ready to move on.
If this happens we can put coaching on hold while you seek more appropriate support. If you want to we can pick up where you left off when the time is right.
