MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COACHING AND THERAPY?
A: Coaching and therapy both support personal growth, but they work in different ways.

Coaching is a goal-oriented, future-focused approach. It helps you clarify where you are now, define where you want to go, and take practical steps toward meaningful change. Coaching focuses on mindset, habits, boundaries, decision-making, and sustainable improvements in daily life.

Therapy often focuses on healing past trauma, diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, and addressing psychological distress rooted in the past.

Coaching is not about reliving trauma or treating mental illness. It is designed for people who want to feel better, function better, and move forward with intention. If therapy would be more appropriate at any point, I will always encourage you to seek that support.

Q: HOW LONG DOES COACHING TAKE?
A: There is no fixed timeline.

How long coaching takes depends on several factors, including:

• Where you are when we begin
• How urgent it is for you to feel better
• How open you are to change and experimentation
• The depth and complexity of the challenges you’re facing

Some clients experience noticeable clarity and relief within a few sessions. Others choose to work together over several months to create deeper, long-lasting change. We regularly check in and adjust the pace to suit your needs.

Q: DOES COACHING HAVE TO BE ONLINE?
A: Yes. All coaching sessions are conducted 100% online.

Online coaching allows for greater flexibility, no travel time, and the ability to meet from a comfortable, private space of your choice. This format works especially well for people with busy or unpredictable schedules.

All you need is a stable internet connection and a quiet place to focus.

Q: CAN I BE COACHED IF I FEEL OVERWHELMED, BURNED OUT, OR STUCK?
A: Yes. Many people come to coaching precisely because they feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure of their next steps.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting. Coaching is a supportive space to slow down, untangle what’s going on, regain clarity, and build practical strategies that fit your life.

Q: CAN I BE COACHED IF I’VE NEVER DONE COACHING BEFORE?
A: Absolutely.

You don’t need any prior experience. I guide the process and meet you where you are, explaining each step clearly and moving at a pace that feels supportive rather than overwhelming.

Q: WHAT IF I DON’T KNOW WHAT MY GOAL IS YET?
A: That’s completely okay — and very common.

Not knowing your goal is often the starting point of coaching. Together, we explore what isn’t working, what you want more (or less) of, and what matters most to you right now. Clarity usually emerges through the process, not before it.

Q: WHAT IF I FEEL RESISTANT OR AFRAID OF CHANGE?
A: Resistance is a normal part of change.

Coaching is not about forcing you to change or pushing you beyond your limits. It’s about understanding your resistance with curiosity and compassion, and finding changes that feel realistic, sustainable, and aligned with who you are.

You remain in control throughout the process.

Q: IS COACHING CONFIDENTIAL?
A: Yes. Everything shared during coaching sessions is treated as confidential.

Your sessions are a private, non-judgmental space where you can speak openly and honestly.

Q: HOW DO I KNOW IF COACHING IS RIGHT FOR ME?
A: Coaching may be a good fit if you:

• Feel stuck, burned out, or overwhelmed
• Want practical tools and actionable support
• Are ready to focus on the present and the future
• Value clarity, accountability, and intentional change

If you’re unsure, a discovery call is the best way to explore whether coaching aligns with your needs.
