Isn’t Coaching the same as counselling?
Coaching and counselling are quite different. Coaching doesn’t focus on your past to find out why you are where you are: it focuses on your current life, your plans for the future and how you are going to get there.

How would a Coach differ from a careers advisor?

Generally, a careers advisor will look at your work experience and skills relating to previous roles and advise you of career paths associated to your previous experience. As Life Coaches we start with a clean page, helping you to explore what you really want your working life to be, what excites you and motivates you. Together we determine a career path that will really excite you.

What if I don’t know what I want to do with my life?

It’s very common for our clients to know they want to make changes but to not know specifically what they want to achieve. We help our clients to see the woods for the trees. It’s OK not to know exactly what you want to achieve; we’ll help you work that out.

I have a very busy schedule. How will I be able to fit in Coaching?

Whilst the session regularity is not prescriptive, a usual commitment would involve 1 hour per week. Consider the amount of time you spend pottering around or watching TV and not achieving much. Your 1 hour commitment with us could change your life. We offer lunchtime and evening appointments to fit in with your lifestyle.

How do I know that you specialise in my particular issue?

We specialise in assisting our clients in making life changes. Our skill is in asking the right questions that help you to understand what you want to achieve, believe that you can achieve it and to understand how your goal can be reached.

Will I be tied into a long programme?

We don’t offer a ‘one size fits all’ programme. However, in order to achieve your goals, a certain level of commitment is required from you. At regular intervals we assess the need to continue with Coaching with the decision ultimately being made by you. We’d rather stop Coaching sooner than planned than tie you into a long programme that you don’t need. After all, you as a satisfied client are our best advert!

Isn’t Life Coaching expensive?

A Coaching session will cost you less than a night out and do you a lot more good! It’s an incredibly cost-effective way of dealing with the obstacles that are holding you back in life. Coaching will help you to get where you want to be … how much is that worth?

Can’t I do all of this myself?

We have no doubt you could, so why haven't you? The Coaching relationship really does make a difference to the speed at which you can move forward because we’re completely focussed on what you want to achieve. We help you to be aware of the range of options open to you, and we will encourage and keep you motivated when you start to waver.

We offer a range of vouchers, denominated in numbers of Coaching sessions. You can choose to purchase as few as 1 session with the recipient choosing whether they wish to proceed with further sessions for themself. The recipient is under no pressure to purchase further sessions.

My overall goal was to establish some achievable, long term Career options and build a sustainable set of actions by which I can investigate and assess these options. I was very pleased with the outcome(s) of my Coaching Sessions with Helen. Her real contribution was in helping me to structure my thoughts and actions

I thought Helen's approach worked perfectly for me. Her steely determination laced with genuine empathy encouraged me to open the doors to the issues and their resolutions within myself. Challenging and rewarding.
