Frequently Asked Questions.

  • Therapy often looks at past and present to uncover the why of some patterns, and to treat mental health concerns. Coaching can be a great complement to therapy, but can’t replace it. Coaching is based in the present, and is future focussed. It can help you unlock your potential, see the possibilities around you and create impact through action and accountability

    • Ask your friends and colleagues for referrals. If you resonate with someone well, the chances that their referred coach might be a good fit for you

    • Do an introductory or a complimentary coaching session. Check how does it feel during the session and after the session and then, rely on your gut. Energy match matters a lot and if it doesn’t feel like a good match to you, it probably is not!

    • In principle, it’s not a requirement. A good coach can coach you through situations they haven't been through. They are there to hold space and help you find your own answers.

    • You already know everything in your world, and the coach can help you find look at things with a new perspective.

    • BUT if you want it, it’s valid and you can have it!

  • At the beginning of each session, we will align on the expected outcome of the session and what you would like to focus on.

    • There’s no set format or framework, since the coaching relationships are completely individualised to meet you where you are.

    • I can brainstorm with you and generally be a sounding board/ mirror for you. At times, I may offer some suggestions or ideas based on my and my clients’ experience but you are entirely in driver seat to decide what you may commit to.

    • At the end of each session, you’ll have the opportunity to commit to next steps and/or intentions till our next session.

  • We would set an intention for the expected results as we start our work together. However, the outcome of your coaching journey depends on you - on the courage and openness you bring to our sessions and to the actions, reflections and experimentation you practice in between. My clients have experienced being more confident, finding more balance in life, figuring out their leadership styles (across giving feedback, coaching and mentoring, working on their interpersonal skills among others), taking sabbaticals

    • Really see me as a partner/ co-passenger on this journey

    • Show up with courage to talk about your fears, insecurities and vulnerabilities

    • Some of the real “work” will happen between our sessions, and unless you are committed to trying your best at that we may not make enough progress
