Which Coaching Option is the Right One For YOU?

Everyone is an individual and has their own preference when it comes to communicating.  Also depending on what you are looking for coaching to help you with, your needs will vary greatly too.  As such I have drawn out below the various options available to you, so you can work out what is the right method for you.

One to One Coaching:

Traditionally coaching is provided on a one to one basis, so I can focus my attention solely on your needs during our time together and you get the maximum benefit.  The options for one to one coaching are as follows, and they are available for both the personal client, and in the corporate environment:

Face to Face

This has to date been the most popular option for my clients.  As a lot of communication is non-verbal, it does make it much easier for us to build a rapport and therefore a partnership.  Also many people feel more comfortable being able to see me in the flesh, so they can get a clearer idea of who I am and what I'm like.  Adding some Hypnotherapy into your session is also an option if we meet face to face.  Sessions last for one hour, whether they are inclusive of hypnotherapy or not.  After the session you are emailed notes of our conversation along with the tasks you agreed to complete. 

For face to face coaching you need to be able to get to Leigh on Sea, or be less than a 20 minute drive away.  An hour long session costs £80.  It is advisable to have at least 5 sessions, on a weekly basis to start off with, to help you can gain some momentum.  So to encourage your commitment to coaching, there are discounts available for block booking sessions in advance.  Please enquire for more details.

Telephone Coaching

Telephone coaching is available to any English speakers around the world, during my working hours.  You are not limited by having to be able get to Leigh on Sea!  Telephone coaching is a much more convenient option for many, who have very busy lives and would find it difficult to make the time otherwise.  Sessions last for one hour.  You are responsible for making the call at the prearranged time.  I am also available to talk through Skype, this can be a video call if you prefer.  After the session you are emailed notes of our conversation along with the tasks you agreed to complete.  Telephone coaching is slightly cheaper than face to face coaching, at £70 per hour.  Again, it is advisable to have at least 5 sessions to gain some momentum.  So to encourage your commitment to coaching, there are discounts available for block booking sessions in advance.  Hypnotherapy downloads are available for purchase if applicable. Please enquire for more details.

E-Coaching

The most flexible of the options for one to one coaching; E-Coaching is Life Coaching by email.  It is unlimited, you can email as often as you like and you will always get a response within 24 hours.  If you are somebody who likes to communicate via the written word, as you like to take the time to think through what you'd like to say; of if you find that by writing things out, it helps you to be certain about what you think or feel, then this option would be excellent for you.  E-Coaching is not for people who prefer to send brief, one or two sentence emails.  While face to face and telephone coaching would be a conversation, E-Coaching is slightly different.  I would get you started with a number of questions to find out what it is you are looking to work through, and my emails to you would be sometimes conversational, and sometimes send you exercises to work on and get back to me with your findings.  You will be challenged, but never "put on the spot".  You will have as long as you like to work on the tasks we agree.

The benefit of E-Coaching is that you can fit it around your own lifestyle so easily.  With E-Coaching you simply pay for the time spent working on your emails.  It operates in a "Pay as you go" format.  You make a payment upfront so you are in credit, and at the end of each email you are advised how much is left in your account.  My hourly rate is the same as it is for telephone coaching (£70 per hour).  I will only spend the time necessary on your email, and it will never cost you more than £35 for one response.  You can decide to cancel at any point, and will be refunded any outstanding balance.

Group Coaching

Coaching can also be provided in a more generic format, which rather than targeting a particular individual, will tackle a particular area, and each individual attending a group coaching session is able to get the benefits that they need for that area.

Coaching Circles

Coaching Circles are a group of individuals who meet in the presence of a Life Coach on a fortnightly basis to work through various individual concerns and towards various individual goals, in a mutually sharing and supportive environment.  Each attendee will work on their own goals between sessions.  It is a cost effective and sociable approach to Life Coaching.  You can either join my coaching circle, or if you have a group of friends or colleagues and you all feel that you could benefit from some coaching, then you can form your own group and I will run that privately for you.  For a coaching circle to run there must be a minimum of 5 attendees, and no more than 10.  The cost is £25 per person per session.  Sessions generally last an hour and a quarter.

Workshops for Business and Organisations

I offer a number of workshops which I presented to your employees at your place of work, were staff can learn, in a group setting how to help themselves in a variety of areas; including:

• Ensuring Work/Life Balance
• Time Management
• Individual Effectiveness
• Reducing Stress
• Tools for Great Communication
• Removing Limiting Beliefs
• Increasing Personal Confidence
• Presentations and Public Speaking

Workshops generally last for two hours and are for no more than 10 members of staff at a time.  The workshop has a one off cost of £350.  Please enquire for more details, or to arrange a meeting for me to come to your company to discuss the needs of your employees.

Hypnotherapy Options

Hypnotherapy is generally one to one and takes place in Southend Town Centre, or the comfort of your own home if it is less than a 20 minute drive from Leigh on Sea.  Your hypnotherapy session is tailored to suit your specific needs.  It is often the case that hypnotherapy goes hand in hand with coaching, so it can be worked into your hour long face to face coaching session.  However if you just require hypnotherapy as a stand-alone intervention, then the cost is £40 per session for one to one hypnotherapy.  If you wish to share your hypnotherapy with a friend/family member who wants help with the same thing, then it is £30 per person.  If you aren't sure whether hypnotherapy can help you in your situation, please feel free to give me a call, or pop me an email to ask.  I'm very friendly!
