Freqently Asked Questions
What are the costs of coaching?
The main costs of coaching can be put under the following headings:
- Financial
- Commitment
- Time
- Energy
You must recognise this before you start: We are professionals and the sessions do carry a cost, you need to be committed to change, to reaching your goals and making a difference in your life. Travelling to and from sessions as well as the sessions themselves will take up your time and energy, you may have homework to do or need private space to reflect and process your learning's during the week.
- But now consider the cost to you of NOT having coaching:
- Will you be living the life of your dreams in 3 years time?
- How many of your goals will you have reached?
- Will you be deeply connected emotionally and physically with your lover?
- Will you have been healed from and overcome past wounds?
- Will you be totally free to be yourself in every situation without fear or compromise?
Are you prepared to be exactly where you are now in 3 years time, remembering this choice and knowing that things could have been very different?
Can I overcome my past issues?
Yes, if you feel that you lack closure in a particular area of your past we can help you share, understand, appreciate and move on from your past issues. Our emphasis is moving you forward not keeping you in your problems so we will keep you grounded in the present before we look at anything that could be holding you back. As life coaches we have many techniques at our disposal to support you overcome past hurts, conditioning or experiences, but we are not counsellors and we will suggest external professional help if we feel this would better support you and your situation.
Do I need a purpose in life?
Your purpose in life is your'Why am I here and where am I going? ' It gives worth, direction and clarity to your life it is the rudder of your yacht it is your unique contribution to the evolution and sustainability of humanity and it's what gives you the commitment, motivation and energy to get up in the morning and keep going even against great challenges. It will take you to fulfilment, significance and a life well lived instead of one simply existing, surviving, being a rudderless ship. With coaching we will support you to discover your purpose, your vision and your mission in life, we will demonstrate the difference between your roles as: parent, plumber, doctor, wife, husband, footy coach etc that we do and your true purpose for being here.
How many sessions do I need?
Great question, the answer depends on what your specific commitment to personal growth is and your individual situation. For some people one or two sessions to get through a problem, situation or goal are enough at that time, whereas for others it is a life long journey of walking the road together with their coach.
On average 6-12 months of coaching with initially 3 sessions/month for the first 3 months and then 1-2 sessions/month thereafter is realistic. And to support this we do offer discounts for clients who commit for a 3 month period.
Can I come to sessions alone
We recommend that clients attend general coaching sessions alone to truly focus on their individual dreams, future plans and situation. We have found that people in relationships often compromise themselves and their freedom to fit in with or protect the perceived vulnerabilities/ fears of their partner. This serves neither party by restricting personal power, autonomy and freedom to be themselves. Within the coaching session our intention is to support you reach your full potential, achieve your ideal life, overcome sabotaging beliefs and reach personal fulfilment, balance and purpose. You can talk openly, freely and without compromise about your fears, vulnerabilities and hopes for life without considering judgements or negative reactions from another. This is your time, your space and your journey.
Our intimacy coaching can, on the other hand be attended singularly or as a couple, and we would recommend a combination of both if you are in a relationship to keep your independence and space to share freely but also to enjoy this wonderful deep experience together. Intimacy work will utterly transform your relating, communicating, personal power and deep heart connection with your lover, your sexual potential will be unleashed and your ability to honestly share the journey will be enhanced. It's a totally magical adventure!
Can beliefs affect my behaviour?
Beliefs are thoughts that you hold to be true. They can be supportive or they can be limiting. A supportive belief such as 'you can do anything you put your mind to' will open up the opportunity to do your best, aim high and expect great results. A limiting belief is one where it holds you back from really experiencing life fully and puts up a wall between you and opportunity.
Limiting beliefs can arise from repeated experiences, patterns, conditioning and wounds. When events occur that are very impactful for an individual a belief about the event can get locked into their psyche to the point that the person considers it to be true, e.g., a teacher or parent reinforcing that a child is, 'stupid' 'will never amount to anything' or that 'God will punish you for....' when the child faces success their brain will remind them that they are 'stupid' 'always get everything wrong' and they will fail, time and time again thus reinforcing the belief and creating the pattern that they will carry for life.
Do I need a coach?
How has your life been going so far? Are you living to your potential for success, happiness, work- life balance? How is your relationship, is it grounded in truth, openness and integrity? Do you stay on track, are you motivated, do you know what you want and how to get it and who you have to become along the way to reach the goal?
A coach doesn't take over your life, give advice or pass judgements on the decisions you make, we are on your side we will support you to the best of our ability and focus 100% on you and your situation during the session. All good sports teams have a coach to help them play a game, how much more important is your game of life? How much success do you deserve?
Are my sessions confidential?
Absolutely! Please go to the
section on confidentiality.
I'm scared of opening up
We provide safe, sacred, confidential space for you to relax and open. Fear is natural when we face the unknown; we feel out of control or project our imaginations into the possible future. We run stories in our minds as to what might happen, what could go wrong and what the outcome for us could be. We have found that the best thing to do is take a deep breath and face the fear, go into it, find out what is behind the feeling and ask 'is this true?' 'am I actually in real danger in this moment?' Take it further and ask 'what is the worst thing that could happen?' and then stand back and objectively look at what comes up for you.
This is an amazing process of self discovery, stay with it, go deeper and write notes!
