Welcome to Coaching
Congratulations on booking your first session and taking the initial step to invest in yourself and your future. I am honored to be part of your journey and assist you on your path. Below is some further detail on coaching to answer common questions that may arise.
What can I expect heading into a coaching session?
In coaching sessions, you can expect a safe and confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and aspirations. As a coach, I am here to listen, ask meaningful questions and support you to see new perspectives that will help you get from where you are, to where you would like to be.
How often will we have coaching sessions?
The frequency of coaching sessions will depend on your individual needs and goals. Typically, sessions are scheduled weekly or fortnightly, but this can be adjusted based on your preferences and availability.
How long is each coaching session?
Sessions are 50 minutes in length.
Where are coaching sessions held?
Sessions are held online via Zoom. Upon booking you will be sent a Zoom link. If you would prefer a phone call, please let us know and we can arrange to call you at your scheduled appointment time instead.
How do I prepare for coaching sessions?
It’s helpful to reflect on your coaching objectives prior to your initial session. However, you are welcome to come to a session without a topic and we can explore what feels important to you on the day.
How will I be charged for my coaching sessions?
You will receive an invoice on the Friday of the week that your coaching session is scheduled. You can pay via bank transfer, or via Wise if you live outside of New Zealand.
What happens if I need to cancel my appointment?
To ensure a smooth experience for everyone, please give us at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel an appointment. This helps us accommodate other bookings. If you need to cancel within 24 hours, the full session fee will apply.
What makes coaching different from therapy or counseling?
Coaching and traditional therapy are separate fields, and it is important to note I am not a mental health professional. Should you need further support I will refer you tothe right service.
Is coaching confidential?
Your session content is kept confidential, however, there are some circumstances where there may be an exception to this. Such as:
If there’s a concern for your safety or the safety of others.
If there’s a legal need to share information (such as for a jury trial)
From time to time, we might speak about anonymized cases with our supervisor to uphold our commitment to maintaining the highest professional standards
