Frequently Asked Questions
What type of coaching do you offer?
I offer an integrated coaching partnership that bridges the gap between professional excellence and inner stability. My approach is designed for global professionals and leaders who seek to achieve success without compromising their well-being. This is why I work as a Career & Wellbeing Coach.
My work focuses on three core pillars: Global Career Navigation, Leadership Excellence, and Strategic Transitions. Whether you are navigating a new cultural market, accelerating your path to leadership, or pivoting into a new career chapter, we work on:
Clarity & Focus: Moving from mental overwhelm to a calm, value-aligned roadmap.
Grounded Presence: Building the inner confidence to be authentically recognized by others.
Emotional Resilience: Cultivating the inner stability to navigate high-pressure environments.
Intentional Growth: Making professional decisions that feel deeply aligned with who you are.
While I bring 12 years of Global HR expertise to our partnership, my coaching is not about giving generic instructions. It is a collaborative, reflective process. When relevant, I ‘switch hats’ to share strategic HR insights, but the heart of our work is a partnership designed to support your sustainable personal and professional evolution.
Is this the right support for me?
Our coaching partnership may be a good fit if you:
Seek a grounded relationship with your career: Moving from overwhelm to a calm, value-aligned focus.
Are navigating a significant transition: Whether it's a relocation, a new leadership role, or a strategic career pivot.
Want to cultivate authentic presence: Building the inner confidence to be recognized by others without compromising who you are.
Are experiencing a loss of alignment: Feeling stuck, burnt out, or uncertain about how to reconcile your success with your well-being.
Are ready for deep, reflective work: You value a partner who listens deeply and holds space for your emotional and professional evolution.
This partnership may NOT be the right fit if you are primarily looking for:
Technical CV editing or formatting: While we address your professional narrative and identity, I do not offer standalone CV writing services.
Tactical Interview drills: We focus on your presence and authentic communication rather than rehearsed "mock interview" techniques.
A "Quick Fix" or Advice-Only service: My approach is a collaborative journey of growth, not a list of direct instructions or recruitment agency strategies.
What is the difference between coaching and therapy?
Coaching focuses on the present and future, supporting you to move towards your goals through awareness, reflection, and action. It does not involve diagnosis or treatment of mental health conditions.
Depending on your needs, you may choose coaching or therapy, and coaching can also work alongside therapy if this feels appropriate and supportive for you.
What is the difference between coaching and mentoring?
Coaching is a collaborative partnership focused on you. It is not about giving advice or telling you what to do. Instead, the coach supports you in developing self-awareness, clarity, and insight through thoughtful questions, reflection, and exploration. The agenda comes from you, and the goal is sustainable, self-directed change.
Mentoring is more guidance-based. A mentor shares their own experience, knowledge, and advice, often showing what has worked for them in a specific role, industry, or career path. Mentoring can be more directive and is shaped by the mentor’s expertise.
In short:
Coaching helps you discover your own path
Mentoring shows you a path that has worked for someone else
While I have a strong HR background and can share insights when appropriate, my primary role as a coach is to partner with you in building your own clarity, confidence, and direction.
How often do coaching sessions take place?
I usually recommend weekly sessions. This allows enough time for reflection, integration, and experimentation between sessions while maintaining continuity. That said, session frequency can be flexible and adjusted based on your needs and circumstances.
How long is each coaching session?
Each coaching session lasts 60 minutes.
Do you offer a free discovery session?
Yes. I offer a free discovery call where we explore what you are looking for, how coaching works, and whether we are a good fit to work together. There is no obligation to continue after this call.
How much does coaching cost?
I primarily work with coaching packages, as meaningful and sustainable change usually requires continuity rather than one-off sessions.
Please check my Services page to see the package details and fees.
If you’re unsure which package is the right fit, you’re welcome to book a complimentary discovery call, where we can explore your goals and see which package is the best fit for you.
How does payment work?
Flexible instalment plans are available for the coaching packages starting from £200.
What payment methods do you accept?
Payments can be made via bank transfer or PayPal. Further details will be provided once we confirm the coaching agreement.
What if I’m not sure coaching is right for me?
That’s completely okay. Coaching is a personal journey, and it’s important that you feel ready. The discovery call is designed specifically to help you explore that fit without any pressure. I always encourage you to take the time you need to reflect before committing.
If you aren't ready for a long-term transformation package, you can begin with a 1-month 'Kickstart' program. If you decide to upgrade to the full 3-month program at the end of that month, I will simply deduct the 'Kickstart' fee from the total. It’s a risk-free way to experience the process first.
Is coaching confidential?
Yes. Everything shared during coaching sessions is treated as confidential, in line with professional coaching ethics. The only exception would be situations involving serious risk of harm.
Where do sessions take place?
All coaching sessions are currently offered online, making them accessible regardless of location.
How do I book a session?
You can book a free discovery call by contacting me via the form below. After the discovery call, we will decide together on the next steps.
