Coaching FAQs
Q. What does coaching involve?
A. Coaching is a regular, structured and confidential partnership between the client and the coach. Its sole focus is the needs and goals of the client, and how the client can fulfil those needs and reach those goals. In other words, its sole focus is your success as a counsellor or therapist.
Q. How do the sessions work in practice?
A. You can choose one of three different coaching programmes to suit your needs. For more information about these programmes, click here.
Q. Where does the coaching take place?
A. Most coaching sessions are conducted over the telephone, at my expense (see below), or online via Skype. This saves you the time and cost of travelling to my office. However, we can meet in person in Stroud, Gloucestershire, if that is more convenient for you or because you prefer face to face contact.
Q. What support do you offer?
A. It is very important to me that you are fully supported during coaching. For this reason I offer the following free support in addition to the weekly coaching sessions:
- Email support. You may want to ask a quick question in between sessions or get something off your chest. You may even want to celebrate a success! Please email me and I will reply as soon as I can.
- Phone support. It may also be important to talk to me in person on the phone in between sessions.
I do not charge for this extra time. Please note that the telephone charges of the actual coaching sessions are entirely at my expense, as long as I am phoning a landline.
Q. What if I want to finish coaching before I get to the end of my programme?
A. Clearly if you or your business are no longer benefiting from coaching then the coaching programme will end and you will get a refund for any unused portion. It is important that you give me feedback during the sessions about your experience of coaching, so that I can tackle any difficulties early on.
Q. Do you offer a free initial session?
A. I offer a free 15 minute discussion of how coaching could help you, or improve the success of your therapy or counselling business. Please click here.
