What you’ll gain
- Clarity. A written statement of what you are actually working toward, in language specific enough that you can tell whether a given week moved you closer.
- Confidence. A shorter list of the beliefs that have been quietly setting your ceiling, and evidence against each one.
- Focus. Two or three habits that compound, chosen because they fit the life you already have rather than the one you keep meaning to start.
- Balance. A weekly shape that has room in it for the things you say matter, not just the things that shout.
Who it’s for
People who are functioning perfectly well and are quietly certain they are not where they meant to be. A promotion that turned out to be the wrong ladder. A move that solved one problem and created three. A decade that went past faster than expected.
It is not for anyone in crisis, and it is not a substitute for clinical care. If that is where you are, say so on the discovery call and I will point you somewhere better.
The process
- Discovery session — 45 minutes, free. We work out whether this is the right tool for what you are carrying, and whether we would work well together.
- Session one — mapping. Two hours rather than one. We go wide: what is working, what is not, what you have already tried, and what you are pretending is fine.
- Sessions two to six — building. Sixty minutes every two weeks. Each one ends with one commitment small enough that you will actually do it, written down where you will see it.
- Between sessions. A short written check-in on the off week. Ten minutes of your time; it is the part that makes the two weeks in between count.
- Close. A written summary of where you started, what changed, and what to keep doing without me.
What a session actually looks like
You talk for the first ten minutes without me interrupting. Then I read back what I heard, which is often the most useful part, because the gap between what people mean and what they say out loud is where most of the work is.
The middle forty minutes are questions. Not clever ones — just persistent. Why that? What would have to be true? What did you do last time this happened?
The last ten minutes are the commitment. One thing, specific, with a day attached. It goes in the notes you receive that evening.
Frequently asked questions
Forty-five minutes, free, no preparation needed. You describe what is going on and what you would like to be different; I ask questions and tell you honestly whether coaching is the right tool for it. Roughly one in five people I speak to leaves with a referral somewhere else instead of a booking.
Therapy works on what happened. Coaching works on what happens next — goals, decisions, habits, follow-through. I am not a licensed therapist and I do not treat mental health conditions. If something comes up in a session that belongs with a clinician, I will say so and help you find one.
No. Most people arrive with a vague sense that something needs to change and not much more. The first two sessions are usually spent turning that into something specific enough to act on.
Move or cancel any session up to 24 hours ahead at no charge, through the link in your confirmation email. Inside 24 hours the session is charged, because the slot can no longer be offered to anyone else.
Most clients report a clearer head after the second session and a visible change in a specific habit somewhere between weeks four and eight. Anyone who promises you a timeline more precise than that is guessing.
