Frequently Asked Questions

 Life throws an equal proportion of opportunities and challenges to us, but often we are not prepared or do not know how to deal with them! Life coaching is all about bringing that inner conscience and inner voice but with confidence to respond to those challenges and opportunities equally. Life coaching is for people who want a positive change in life.

Coaching is an interactive experience where we discover your goals and your passions and use them to help you travel down a path to the life you want. We talk about your "present" and make informed choices to reach your "future". We learn from the past, but we DO NOT dwell in the past. It is like holding a mirror to ourselves and asking the right powerful questions that have the capacity to alter the fairway of our thoughts and belongings, and in the end, bring the desired change.

While both coaching and therapy have a similar interest - the betterment of the client, they are inherently different in the practical world. Psychological therapy is a medical profession that analyses mental disorders and past traumas and based on those it tries to heal. Coaching on the other hand provides an unbiased view of the present and supports the client to achieve desired outcomes in the future.

There is no conflict between coaching and therapy. You can still see a therapist while being coached on something, and vice versa.

I am trained to be a life coach from one of the most pioneering and reputed coaching institutes in the world, The Co-Active Training School (https://coactive.com/about) . ICF is accredited by various organisations like the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the American Council of Education (ACE) and the Human Resources Professionals Association (HRPA)​​​​​ .

I am starting with my certification journey with CTI soon to become an ICF-recognised Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) and  Associate Certified Coach (ACC).

At this moment the scope is only for personal one-to-one coaching.  My objective is to provide life coaching services to individuals and companies, in particular, in the following areas but is not limited to:  

• Change, transition and decision-making 
• Life choices related to relationships, parenting or family 
• Career counselling, work-life balance 
• General mental health issues and well-being 

I am happy to discuss all the areas and possibilities in this regard.

The chemistry sessions are absolutely complimentary, after which we may or may not continue to work together (practically they are no-obligation sessions). 

Once we agree to take the journey together, we will discuss the appropriate fees and charges. Fees and charges may vary depending on your requirements, the length and duration of the sessions and in some cases your situation (e.g. if you are a student). All of these discussions will take place during the chemistry session and a service agreement will be drawn to facilitate the coaching journey.

Kindly note that many companies now offer budgets to support personal coaching and well-being. You are kindly requested to check that with your company.  

Once you are willing to explore, please note that I expect you to be:

• Curious and open to learn about yourself. 
• Have a genuine appetite for a purpose-driven life.
• Have the self-drive to accept and change your life.
• Respectful of the coaching relationship.
• Commit to the time, actions and financial obligations. 

During the complimentary chemistry sessions, we will discuss all the options with full transparency. Together we will explore your quest for coaching and your intentions. Together we will define the common grounds. If we think that we are not a good fit, we will also discuss the options openly. 

Remember, it is a journey together! My ultimate motive is to help you lead the life you crave for.

The time depends on the complexity of your goals, your commitment and your openness to your progress. However, it is about your life and mind and I want the best for you. However, in general,  3 to 6 months would be a reasonable timeframe for an impact and to see positive changes provided you remain committed to the journey. 

100%! What happens in our sessions stays in our sessions, just like seeing a therapist. My practice is guided by the fantastically laid out principles of the International Coaching Foundation (ICF).

I treat all the participants with the utmost respect for what they are, just like the way I wish to be treated! I offer unbiased and non-judgmental service with absolute confidentiality.
