FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHO IS COACHING FOR?
Coaching really is for anybody. Working with a coach can provide a variety of benefits, including gaining clarity on goals, developing new skills and strategies, receiving support and accountability, improving communication, increasing self-awareness and confidence, and achieving personal and professional growth. You will leave our sessions equip with a 'communication toolbox' to help you to feel confident and in control of your communication.
CAN I BOOK A TRIAL SESSION?
Absolutely. In fact, I insist! Working with a coach is an investment of your time and finances and you need to be sure that you're working with somebody who will get the best out of you and help you to reach your goals.
I offer a trial session at the reduced rate of £75 so that we can meet, get a feel for each other and you can see if the sessions (and my coaching style) are a good fit for you. We will look in detail at your goals and what you’d like to achieve from the sessions as well as working practically. This will allow us to identify areas which you may like to focus on going forward and means that I can create a bespoke programme for each individual client - paying close attention to what you want to get out of the sessions.
WHAT ARE YOUR PACKAGES AND RATES?
All sessions are 1 hour (unless otherwise specified) and take place over Zoom. There is the possibility of me coming to your place of work (London/Brighton) but this will incur additional fees and is only by prior arrangement.

DO I NEED TO PREPARE ANYTHING?
Not for your first session, but I'm very upfront about the fact that I will give you homework. This might be to prepare an elevator pitch or to plan a talk on a topic of your choice. Homework is set so that you can implement the tools that you have been learning between sessions so that we can create lasting change.
THIS IS OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE, WILL I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE?
Communication is such an intrinsic part of who we are as people that when something is not how we would like it to be it can leave us feeling uncomfortable and vulnerable. But coaching can make such a huge difference that it's worth pushing through the discomfort to become the communicator you want to be.
My aim is to put you at ease and to encourage you to step outside your comfort zone in a fully safe and supportive environment. I won't make you feel silly and we will work together to get through the discomfort and out to the bigger, brighter other side.
