FAQ
Why a minimum of six sessions?
Your customised coaching and healing journey is a co-partnership together. Feeling safe on this journey takes time as you navigate deeper with your body and emotions. It can get uncomfortable when you dive deep; sometimes, you might want to run away from it (flight mode). Yet part of healing is taking the courage to be vulnerable and be comfortable with these unpleasant feelings. My role as your coach is to shine a light on these blindspots and give you the space and time to unpeel the layers one step at a time.
You are important, and I want to walk together with you. Hence, the six sessions are the minimum requirement for you to have a different awareness. Finding the courage and language to observe and express in various areas and blind spots.
Many of my clients extend beyond six sessions; as we open possibilities to explore other topics of interest outside of grief and loss. We can coach on other areas such as work, relationships, family, and parenting.
Your healing journey takes time, investment and effort. I care for you.
How is coaching different from therapy?
You are a healthy being.
In coaching, we believe the client is whole and knows the answers deep down. You are not broken or need to be fixed. Coaching is a co-partnership and co-creation. The coach asks powerful questions to shine a light on your awareness so you can seek different observations and possibilities. In therapy, there is an assumption that an issue is to be diagnosed and treated. The therapist provides solutions and advice.
We focus on the future.
In coaching, we focus on the present and future. The aim is to move forward with what happened and support you to reach your new goal and vision. We emphasise the present and future. When we go back to the past, our intention is to bring new awareness.
In therapy, you dive into the past to address unresolved trauma, anxiety and fear, mental health concerns and deep emotional wounds. It may involve long-term exploration of
underlying issues affecting your behaviour and emotions.
Coaching is not a substitute.
While coaching can address patterns influenced by past experiences, it is not a substitute for therapy. In the event of mental health concerns (depression, unresolved trauma that requires clinical support) or crisis situations (violence, abuse, or other critical concerns) that requires intervention by legal or therapeutic professionals, I will guide you toward appropriate resources while continuing to provide support within my area of expertise.
