Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a difference between Coaching and Therapy?

Yes. Coaching focuses on your present and future - making your present the best it can be and planning your future. Therapy deals with the past (why you are the way you are) and attempts to help you heal the past.

While a Coach will often share with you their own experiences as a demonstration of how things can work, therapists usually do not share their experiences with their clients.

Is Coaching the same as Consulting?

No. Consulting is using a particular skill set or area of expertise to assist individuals or businesses to answer specific questions. Consultants are usually hired to help solve a precise problem and often base decisions around external factors. For example, you may want to change your image and hire an image consultant who has the expertise to help you change your hair, your clothes and advise you what colours enhance your image.

Coaching adopts a more holistic approach and can help you with all areas of your life-career, relationships, weight, personal dreams and goals. The answers don't lie outside of you but within.  Coaching leads you to your own answers.

How long would I need to have a Coach?

This depends on the individual or company. Some people take on a Coach for a few months while others for several years. It is important to work together until you feel you have achieved your desired goals.

My aim is for you to get value from our relationship. If you feel Coaching, isn't working for you, you can finish at any time. I also have the option to end Coaching with you if I feel you are not committed to doing the work necessary to make a difference in your life.

What theory is Coaching based upon?

Coaching is very much about helping people from all walks of life to reach their full potential. It's about setting clear goals and providing clients with the tools needed to achieve those goals. Life Coaching shares common themes with Sports Coaching and Mentoring.  Coaching is not based upon any specific philosophical or psychological theory.
