1. Is coaching covered by any type of insurance coverage?

No unfortunately it is not a covered service yet. Some extended health care benefits will cover the sessions - it is the client's responsibility to check with their insurance to verify. 

​

2. How is coaching and counselling different?

Counselling allows the client to go back in their personal stories to work through what has occurred and how it is affecting them and is normally scheduled as a 50 minute appointment. Therapy teaches the individual how to parent themself and works with subjects that require working in a deeper detail of the people involved. 

 

Coaching takes a different approach, as they take the client where they are in the current moment and allow them to learn skills to achieve their desired goal. In coaching we do not conduct therapy, it is about identifying the client’s personal strengths, values, and meaning. It is a joint discussion that allows the individual to identify steps that allow them to grow into who they wish to become! Sessions last around one hour in length and sometimes carry over. It is a mutal conversation where the coach asks the client meaningful questions to help them uncover what is holding them back. 

 

3. How long do the appointments last for?

It really depends, as most sessions will be about one hour in length, but some sessions may go over in time and that is okay too.

 

4. How many sessions do I need?

This is a tough question to answer as with any type of behaviour change or shift it takes time to see results. Most of the clients that I work with sessions can last for about 6 to 12 sessions, before they have shifted their normal to become closer to their desired goal. I do not sell packages and schedule each session independently from the last one. 

 

5. How is it that you can help others?

I offer a mutually respectful and compassionate environment for my clients to show up as they uniquely are. Together we create a unique experience by working with the topics they want to discuss through psychological methods and models. In most sessions I work with the GROW model where we gain an understanding of what the session's focus is, we identify where the client currently is with this topic, discover ways to move them forward and create action steps for them to work on between the sessions. 

 

When a client needs help beyond my scope of professional education and experience then I will make referrals out to someone else I might know.

 

6. How do you take payment?

I usually take e transfer, credit card and cash.

 

7. Can anyone work with you?

Yes, anyone can work with me. My sessions are focused supporting those that identify as neurodivergent, HSP or an Empath.

8. How do we start?

Reach out to me and schedule a complimentary initial conversation and we can see how best to move forward.
