Question 1

What is coaching and how is it different from therapy or mentoring?

Accepted Answer

Coaching is a collaborative process focused on clarity, growth and taking action — not fixing or analysing the past. Therapy focuses on healing; mentoring shares advice; coaching starts with you — your goals, your challenges, your insights.

Question 2

How can coaching help if I’m feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next?

Accepted Answer

Coaching gives you space to slow down, make sense of what’s going on, and find practical steps that move you forward. It helps you see patterns, regain clarity and confidence, and take meaningful action.

Question 3

What kinds of people do you coach?

Accepted Answer

I work with leaders, professionals and creatives from healthcare, business and beyond — including people exploring how to work with their ADHD. Coaching is for anyone curious and ready to create change.

Question 4

What happens in a coaching session?

Accepted Answer

Each session is a focused, confidential conversation — a mix of reflection, challenge and action planning. You bring what’s on your mind; we unpack it together to find insight and clarity.

Question 5

How many coaching sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

Most people start with 6–9 sessions every 2–3 weeks. That rhythm allows time to reflect and embed change. Some continue longer as their goals evolve; others find significant shifts sooner.

Question 6

What is team coaching and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Team coaching helps groups improve how they work together. It builds trust, clarity and alignment, often through facilitated sessions, meeting observations, and practical team reflection.

Question 7

Can coaching help with perfectionism, confidence, or imposter feelings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Coaching helps you notice and shift patterns of perfectionism and self-doubt, so you can lead with confidence and balance. It’s about awareness, choice and self-compassion.

Question 8

How does coaching support people with ADHD?

Accepted Answer

Coaching helps you understand your ADHD and build systems that work for you. It’s practical and empowering — focusing on strengths, structure and self-awareness rather than fixing.

Question 9

Do you work online or in person?

Accepted Answer

Most coaching is online for flexibility and focus. I also offer in-person sessions and workshops depending on location and needs. The quality of impact is the same in both formats.

Question 10

How do I know if coaching is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Coaching is right for you if you’re ready to think differently, make change happen and invest in your own growth — even if you’re not sure where to start.
