Frequently asked questions

Most of my clients arrive after years of exactly that, and they all say the same thing: they were allowed to talk, they were asked good questions, and nobody ever gave them a tool. Understanding why you feel the way you feel does not tell you who to become. I hand you instruments — for self-esteem, for fear, shame, and guilt, for changing a behaviour that no longer serves you — and you keep them for life.

No. Therapy examines the past to explain the present. I use the past as foundation, not explanation — and the work is forward-facing. I am a coach, not a clinician. If what you are carrying needs clinical care, I will tell you so directly and help you find the right person.

It is the most common sentence I hear, and it is not a problem — it is the starting point. You cannot answer that question until there is a self there to do the wanting. That is why we build the foundation first.

Three months is the minimum, and most clients work with me for considerably longer — more than seventy-five percent renew each year. We meet twice a week in the first year, because momentum is what keeps life from piling up between sessions. After that, most clients move to once a week.

1:1 coaching gives you dedicated space to explore your own circumstances, priorities, and questions. You can bring the details that matter to you—a leadership challenge, a personal decision, a difficult relationship, or a next chapter you have not yet put into words.

I will meet you where you are. Everyone brings different experiences, needs, and readiness for change. Our work unfolds at your own pace, with room to reflect, practice, and integrate what you discover.

Our conversations follow what is most relevant to you. We have room to explore what is influencing your choices, recognize where your personal life and professional direction may need greater alignment, and practice tools that apply directly to your situation.

As we work with Positive Reframe, I help you examine the meaning you have given to an experience and explore perspectives that acknowledge the difficulty while revealing strengths, possibilities, and choices. Together, we turn that awareness into actions you can practice in your life and work.

Choose 1:1 coaching if you value individual attention, greater privacy, and space to explore your experiences in depth at your own pace. Choose group coaching if you value shared reflection, learning through different perspectives, and contributing to others’ growth alongside your own.

Both support personal mastery and provide practical tools for continued self-guidance. The choice is about the setting in which you feel most able to reflect, practice, and grow.

Group coaching offers an opportunity to learn through your own experiences and through what others bring to the conversation. You may recognize a familiar pattern in someone else’s story, hear a question you had not thought to ask, or discover a perspective that helps you see your own situation more clearly.

As we practice Positive Reframe together, you can observe how the same situation may hold different meanings for different people. This helps you explore new possibilities while strengthening trust in your own voice. The group also offers opportunities to practice listening, expressing yourself, and remaining open to another perspective—skills you can carry into your relationships, leadership, and work.

Choose group coaching if you value shared reflection, learning alongside others, and contributing to their growth as you develop your own. Choose 1:1 coaching if you prefer dedicated attention to your circumstances, greater privacy, and more space to explore personal details.

Both support personal mastery. The choice is about the setting in which you feel most able to reflect, practice, and grow.

Pricing depends on the program and the engagement, so I do not publish it. We discuss it on the discovery call, once I understand what you are actually working on.

Some of it, eventually. Not because the past is interesting, but because a great deal of what runs your decisions today was installed before you could evaluate it. We go there when it is useful, at a pace you set, and never as an archaeology project.

Thirty minutes. You tell me what brought you here. I tell you what I see — including the parts that are uncomfortable. You leave with something useful whether or not we work together.

You complete questionnaires before we begin and the same questionnaires at the end, so change is documented rather than just felt. Every session has a survey before it, and I close every session by asking you how you feel and what you learned. You will not have to take my word for your own progress.
