How Coaching Differs from Therapy

 

 

Coaching isn’t therapy, and that’s part of its strength. It’s designed to help you make changes quickly, without committing to long-term emotional exploration.

 

• Short-term & structured – typically 4–6 sessions, focused on clear goals and practical steps.

• Present- and future-focused – we stay rooted in where you are now and where you’d like to be, rather than unpacking your full personal history.

• Practical tools & strategies – each session offers exercises and approaches you can apply immediately.

• Supportive but lighter – coaching provides a collaborative, confidential space without the depth or duration of therapy.

​

 

Who Coaching Might Be For

​

Coaching could be a good fit if you:

 

• Feel stuck or overwhelmed at work and want to regain clarity

• Are navigating a new role, creative shift, or career transition

• Need support with boundaries, confidence, or work–life balance

• Lead a team, business, or organisation and want space to reflect, make better decisions, and manage competing demands

• Want something structured and time-limited, rather than open-ended therapy

• Are curious about change but hesitant to dive into deeper therapeutic work

​

For Leaders & Founders

 

If you’re a senior professional, business owner, or executive, coaching offers a confidential space to pause, reflect, and reset. High-level roles often come with intense pressure, competing priorities, and constant decision-making. Coaching provides a grounded, non-judgemental environment where you can:

 

• Clarify your vision and priorities

• Explore leadership challenges and team dynamics

• Build resilience while managing stress and responsibility

• Balance professional demands with personal wellbeing

​

This is a space where you can step back from the noise, reconnect with what matters, and make choices from a place of clarity and confidence.

How It Works

 

1. Initial Consultation — 60 minutes

We begin with an introductory session where we clarify your aims, explore what’s holding you back, and decide whether coaching feels right for you.

 

2. Coaching Sessions — 4 to 6 × 50 minutes

Held weekly or fortnightly, depending on your pace and schedule. Each session focuses on a specific goal or challenge, with practical strategies to move you forward.

 

3. Final Reflection

We review what’s shifted, identify what’s working, and plan how to sustain your progress beyond our sessions.

​

 

My Approach

​

I bring the same warmth, curiosity, and integrative mindset to coaching as I do to therapy, drawing on psychodynamic, existential and systems perspectives. While we won’t be doing deep therapeutic work, this background informs how I listen, respond, and tailor our sessions. Coaching blends practicality with depth—helping you make changes that feel grounded and sustainable.
