Frequently Asked Questions
What is solution-based (solution-focused) coaching?
Solution-focused coaching is an approach that explores where you want to go, while recognising the experiences, strengths and resources you already bring.
Rather than spending all our time analysing problems, we'll explore what matters to you, challenge assumptions, consider new perspectives and identify meaningful actions.
This approach is central to my training with Erickson Coaching International and aligns with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Core Competencies.
Is coaching right for me?
Coaching may be right for you if you're navigating change, facing a crossroads or recognising that something in your life needs to shift.
You don't need to have a clear goal before we begin. What matters is your willingness to reflect honestly, explore different perspectives and take ownership of your decisions and actions.
Coaching isn't therapy, counselling or medical treatment, and it doesn't diagnose or treat mental health conditions.
Our free introductory call gives us an opportunity to explore whether coaching is the right fit for you.
How does a coaching session work?
Each session is shaped around what you'd like to explore.
We'll clarify what matters most in that conversation, explore your thinking, consider different possibilities and identify any actions or reflections you want to take forward.
Some sessions bring greater clarity. Others challenge existing assumptions or open up new perspectives. There's no fixed formula, and the direction always remains yours.
How much does coaching cost?
I offer different coaching partnerships depending on the time and space you'd like to dedicate to coaching.
During our free introductory call, we'll discuss what you're looking for, explore the available packages and talk openly about the investment involved.
There's no obligation to proceed.
How many coaching sessions will I need?
That depends on what you'd like to explore and the length of partnership that feels appropriate for you.
I offer three options:
Explore: 6 sessions over 3 months
Create: 12 sessions over 6 months
Evolve: 18 sessions over 9 months
Each offers the same personalised approach, with different amounts of time for exploration, action and reflection.
You can find more information on the Coaching Packages page.
Do I need to prepare for coaching sessions?
There's no formal preparation required.
You may already have something you'd like to explore, or an unexpected situation may have arisen since our last conversation.
We'll work with what's most meaningful to you at the time, while keeping sight of what you want from our overall coaching partnership.
What happens between coaching sessions?
Coaching doesn't stop when our scheduled conversations end.
You may choose actions, reflections or experiments to explore between sessions. These are defined by you and shaped around what feels meaningful and realistic.
Where agreed, you'll also receive personalised session summaries and relevant reflection exercises.
If something important arises between sessions, we can arrange a short, focused coaching check-in by phone or video, subject to mutual availability.
