Coaching

My coaching practice is informed by (i) my coaching studies, (ii) my long term experience as a Managing Director in the finance industry and (iii) my Gestalt psychotherapy studies. 

I offer life, transformational, stress management, and mental health coaching. 

Finding the right coach can be daunting and it is one of the most important aspects of a successful coaching relationship. This is why I offer you the opportunity for a free 30 minutes consultation. 

COACHING OR THERAPY:  

Generally Coaching differs from Psychotherapy in 3 key aspects:

• It is more goal-oriented, focussing on how to reach a specific goal, what is required to take action, and exploring what are the psychological barriers hindering such action
• It is shorter-dated in nature (maximum of 8-10 sessions focussed on a specific goal)
• It offers less "depth-work"

ISSUES COMMONLY BROUGHT TO COACHING: stress-management, life transitions, career changes, single hurdles/objectives, emotional education, or merely to deepen your self-awareness around a particular "rigidified behaviour" (e.g. something "blocking" you from taking action). 

INITIAL CONSULTATION:  

The initial 30-minute consultation is an opportunity (i) for us to get to know each other; (ii) for you to talk about your concerns; and (iii) for you to better understand how I approach the work and the relationship. This will also allow you to understand the way I work, the expected duration of the professional relationship.

SESSIONS: 

Individual sessions last 50 minutes. The frequency of the sessions can be tailored (once per week, once a month, once a trimester) depending on your needs and your goals.  

CANCELLATIONS:

I work on a 6 days notice period. If I ever have to cancel a session, I will wherever possible, offer you an alternative appointment.

LENGTH:

The length of the coaching relationship will depend on the complexity of the concerns you intend to work on.  These are issues to be discussed during the initial consultation and, after that, will be reviewed regularly to track change, progress, and what is missing.

Coaching will generally be limited to the exploration of an individual goal, with no more than 10 sessions.
