Questions worth asking
Everything you're wondering before we begin. And if your question isn't here, that's what the discovery call is for.
What exactly is coaching?
A structured, confidential partnership designed to help you gain clarity, dissolve barriers, and take aligned action toward what matters most. I ask the questions that open doors you didn't know were there. You find your own answers. Because the knowing has always been inside you.
How is coaching different from therapy or counselling?
Therapy typically focuses on healing past trauma and diagnosing mental health conditions. Coaching is forward-focused: it starts where you are now and builds toward where you want to be. I'm not a therapist. If I believe therapy would serve you better, I'll be honest about that.
What is NLP and how do you use it?
Neurolinguistic Programming is the study of how language, thought patterns, and behaviour connect. I use it to help you identify the unconscious patterns shaping your experience, then restructure them so they serve you rather than limit you. It's practical, grounded in how the mind actually works, and the changes tend to be rapid and lasting.
Do I need to have a specific goal before starting?
No. Many clients come in feeling "stuck" without being able to name exactly why. Clarity often emerges through the process itself. The Discovery Call is designed to help us both sense whether this is the right fit.
What happens on the discovery call?
It's a free, 60-minute conversation where I'll ask what's going on for you, what you're noticing, and we'll explore whether coaching feels like the right next step. I'll also recommend the package that makes the most sense for where you're starting from. No obligation. No pitch. Just presence.
How do sessions work?
Sessions are 60 minutes via Zoom. Most clients meet fortnightly, but we'll find a rhythm that works for your energy, not just your calendar. Need to reschedule? Just give 48 hours' written notice and we'll find a new time.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. All packages can be split into monthly instalments. We'll confirm the details before you start. I'd rather we find a structure that works than have cost be the thing that stops you.
Is everything I share confidential?
Everything discussed in coaching stays between us. The only exceptions are if there's a risk of harm to you or others, illegal activity, or a legal requirement to disclose. Full details are in the Coaching Agreement.
What if coaching isn't for me after starting?
You can raise this with me at any time. Sessions already delivered aren't refundable, but I'll always be honest with you if I think something else would serve you better.
What do I get between sessions?
Email support (response within 48 business hours), plus a full suite of personalised client guides, worksheets, and action sheets. Everything we build together is yours to keep long after our work ends.
Do I need to have ADHD to work with you?
No. If you recognise yourself in the patterns I describe, that's enough, diagnosis or not. ADHD is my specialisation, not my boundary.
I'm neurodivergent. Will this actually work for my brain?
Yes. ADHD and neurodivergence is my deep specialisation. My approach is affirming, practical, and strengths-based. We don't try to make you neurotypical. We build systems designed for how your brain actually works, not against it.
What qualifications do you hold?
Bachelor of Psychological Sciences, NLP Practitioner, Certified Matrix Therapies Practitioner, ADHD Coaching Specialisation, Hypnosis Practitioner, and Reiki Practitioner. I operate under the ethical standards of the International Coach Federation (ICF) and bring extensive corporate leadership experience to the work.
