FAQ
Here you'll find answers to some of the most popular questions I am asked about how I help my clients, the processes undertaken and what to expect. If you have a question which is not listed below, please feel free to get in touch.
General FAQs
Can sessions take place online or in person?
Yes. I offer both online and in-person sessions depending on what works best for you. Many of my clients appreciate the flexibility of online coaching or supervision, especially when balancing busy schedules. If you’re local or prefer to meet face-to-face, we can arrange in-person sessions too. We’ll agree on a format that feels most comfortable and effective for you during our initial conversation.
Is everything we discuss confidential?
Yes — confidentiality is a core part of how I work. What we discuss will remain private and will never be shared without your knowledge. The only exception to this is if you disclose something that indicates a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if illegal activity is involved. I work in line with the Global Code of Ethics, which guides ethical, professional and safe practice in all coaching and supervision relationships.
Can I work with you as an individual, or do you only work with organisations?
You’re very welcome to work with me as an individual. I support people from all kinds of backgrounds — some are funded by their organisations, while others choose to invest in their own development independently. Whether you’re an individual looking for support or part of a wider team, I tailor each service to meet your specific needs.
Coaching FAQs
How much does a coaching session cost?
This is a very popular question, and there isn’t a set answer. Coaching sessions are tailored to your needs, so I’ll provide a bespoke quote based on what you’re looking for. The best first step is for us to spend a little time together to explore your goals and how we might work together.
Is there anything I need to do before our first coaching session?
There’s nothing specific I need from you beforehand. That said, it can be helpful to take a few minutes to reflect on your goals or note down any topics you’d like to explore in our sessions.
How often do coaching sessions take place?
This depends entirely on your needs and the contract we agree together. Some clients prefer to meet weekly, others monthly or even quarterly. We’ll talk through what works best for you.
Supervision FAQs
What are the costs for supervision sessions?
Costs vary depending on your individual requirements. Once we’ve had an initial conversation, I’ll provide a detailed bespoke quote tailored to your needs.
What do I need to do before my first session?
It’s often helpful to review your coaching reflections and note any themes or client scenarios you’d like us to explore during the session.
Are our sessions on a weekly or monthly basis?
That depends on your preferences and the volume of coaching or mentoring you’re currently doing. We’ll agree a bespoke arrangement that works for you, and I’d be happy to talk this through in more detail.
Training FAQs
I work full time — will I be able to complete a coaching or mentoring qualification?
Absolutely. Before you begin, I’ll explain what’s expected and we’ll agree a learner plan that works around your existing commitments.
How much is an ILM Level 5 or Level 7 Certificate?
Fees vary depending on your experience and the qualification level. If you’d like to explore this in more detail, please do get in touch.
Do you offer the Diploma as well as the Certificate for ILM courses?
Yes. Many delegates begin with the Certificate and later choose to complete the Diploma, often joining a dedicated Diploma supervision group when ready.
