Coaching Services (General)
What is coaching and how does it work?
Coaching is a collaborative process where a coach partners with a client to identify goals, create strategies, and foster accountability. Unlike therapy, which often focuses on past issues, coaching is forward-looking and action-oriented, helping you unlock your potential and achieve specific outcomes.
How long does a typical coaching engagement last?
The duration of coaching varies depending on your individual goals and the complexity of the challenges you face. Some clients see significant progress in a few weeks, while others prefer ongoing support for several months. We'll discuss a recommended timeframe during your consultation.
What's the difference between coaching and therapy?
While both can lead to personal growth, therapy often delves into past traumas or psychological issues to heal and cope. Coaching focuses on the present and future, empowering you to achieve specific goals, enhance performance, and develop new skills for success.

How can executive coaching benefit my career?

Hypnotherapy
What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses guided relaxation, intense concentration, and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness, often called a trance. In this state, a person's attention is so focused that anything going on around the person is temporarily blocked out or ignored. This allows the individual to be more open to suggestions and explore unconscious thoughts and patterns that can influence behavior.
Is hypnotherapy safe? Will I lose control?
Yes, hypnotherapy is completely safe. You remain in control throughout the entire session and are fully aware of what is happening. Hypnosis is not mind control; it's a state of relaxed focus where you can access your inner resources and make positive changes. You cannot be made to do anything against your will.
What issues can hypnotherapy help with?
Hypnotherapy can be effective for a wide range of issues, including stress and anxiety reduction, breaking unwanted habits (e.g., smoking cessation, nail-biting), managing fears and phobias, improving sleep, boosting confidence, pain management, and overcoming procrastination.
Career Coaching
What is career coaching?
Career coaching helps individuals define their career goals, identify strengths and passions, overcome professional obstacles, enhance job search strategies, navigate career transitions, and achieve greater satisfaction and success in their professional lives.
Can career coaching help me find a new job?
Yes, while we don't act as recruiters, career coaching can significantly enhance your job search by helping with resume optimization, interview preparation, networking strategies, identifying suitable roles, and building confidence.

Life coaching is a broad form of coaching that helps individuals achieve personal goals, improve overall well-being, manage time and stress, enhance self-awareness, improve relationships, and create a more balanced and fulfilling life.
