FAQs
What can I expect from the process of life coaching?
Generally speaking, you can expect to have sessions in which I help you give voice to the things that you are really wanting out of life. Obstacles and fears will be faced, and your motivation to proceed will be marshaled in the service of commitment to change. As your coach, you can expect me to be honest and direct with you, as well as supportive and encouraging during every step of the process.
How is life coaching different from therapy?
Life coaching is not therapy. Nor is it a mental health service modality. Psychological symptoms are not treated and mental disorders are not diagnosed in life coaching. The emphasis of discussion is not on human suffering per se in the life coaching process. Nor is there an emphasis on dicussion of the past. Therapy outcomes are about healing pain and dysfunction. Coaching outcomes are about personal and/or professional success and fulfillment, in which the action is forward moving and the client is accountable for self-initiated change geared toward goal attainment. The focus in life coaching is on the present with an eye toward the future. The process is upbeat, positive and productive. And always, action oriented results, accountability, and follow-through are the hallmarks of life coaching.
What is the fee structure for life coaching?
The fees for life coaching range from $240 per month to $440 per month, depending on the length and frequency of sessions for most commonly used coaching schedules. Payment is made at the beginning of the month by credit card, in advance of the sessions you desire for that month.
How do I begin life coaching?
A complimentary coaching consultation is offered to discuss your particular situation and how coaching will benefit you. Then you will be sent a Coaching Questionnaire to be completed and returned before your first scheduled coaching session.
