Transformational Coaching is a deeply personal 1-on-1relationship designed to support you in generating your own insights, identifying opportunities for growth, and developing a map for moving forward.

How is Coaching Different from Therapy?
Answer
Close

Coaching is an action-oriented path that invites the client to set goals and create actionable plans for change. The Coach collaborates with the client by inviting introspecting, providing tools for personal growth, and supporting the client as they take small steps toward a goal.  

Therapy provides a diagnosis for an issue and a plan to restore health. A Therapist helps the patient to understand how emotional and psychological workings contribute to behavioural patterns that create obstacles in their lives. 

Coaching and Therapy are similar in that they both invite an inspection of emotions. However, the Coach is not offering licensed advice on treatment. They are offering support in making change.

How Does Coaching Work?
Answer

A coaching relationship begins with a consultation. That first 30-minute session determines fit between Coach and client, and identifies high-level goals. 

Next, an immersive planning session takes place in a 90-minute Zoom call. In this session, we create clear goals for our work together. That way, we will know when we have achieved our goals. 

Thereafter, we meet weekly or twice monthly for 75-minutes on Zoom.  

Special issues coaching is available on-the-go as needed.  

Coaching sessions are conducted remotely over Zoom.
