It’s a good question. Coaching is present-day and future-focused – it helps you understand where you are now, to take steps towards where you want to be. It’s about reflection, decision-making, and action.
Therapy and counselling often look to the past and may explore mental health or emotional healing.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or at a crossroads, coaching can be a great fit. If you’re experiencing ongoing emotional distress, trauma, or clinical mental health issues, a therapist or counsellor may be more suitable. If you’re unsure, we can talk about it together and I’ll be honest with my opinion.

This is often part of the work together – identifying the goals, why they matter to you and working to achieve them. If you want something to shift, you’re open for reflection and ready to take steps forward, coaching can help you untangle your thoughts, and move towards clarity and purpose.

I keep an eye on the forecast and use common sense! Some rain or cold is usually fine – it can even add to the experience. But I won’t coach outdoors if there’s a weather warning, high winds, heavy rain – or both. In those cases, we’ll move the session online or reschedule.

Our coaching conversations go at your pace – with some stretch. We can take breaks, sit on a bench, or you can be in your garden on the phone to me – if you have privacy. If you can’t walk far, or are unable to walk we’ll assess the suitability of the location together. It’s your session: let’s make it work for you.

No problem, we can still have coaching walks virtually, as long as there’s wifi or a phone signal. You head to your local green space and we’ll phone-coach with headphones. We’ll describe what’s around us and you’ll describe what’s going on for you. It’s surprisingly powerful.

Absolutely! You choose the location for each session, whether face to face, online or by phone. Some clients start outdoors and move online during poor weather or busy weeks – or vice versa. We’ll find a rhythm that works for your life and energy.

This depends on what you want to explore and the kind of change you’re looking for. Some people come for a few focused sessions, others prefer regular coaching over several months or longer. We’ll check in as we go to make sure it’s working for you. Coaching isn’t about quick fixes – it’s a process that deepens over time, helping you build insight, confidence and momentum.

Yes – a one-off session can be a great way to explore coaching, gain clarity on a specific issue, or get a mindset boost when you need it. While meaningful change tends to happen over time, a single session can offer insight, focus, and a sense of what it’s like to work together.

Let’s start with a free discovery call. If we decide to work together, I’ll share options including a sliding scale of fees and part-payment for block bookings. I accept payment via employers or directly from individuals, using a quick and easy payment link and invoice.

I want coaching to be accessible and fair, so I offer a sliding scale for my one-to-one sessions plus part-payment options for block bookings. So if you’re finding things tight financially, there are a limited number of spaces at a lower-cost. Choose the rate that best reflects your current situation – no questions asked, this is based on mutual trust and respect for both of us.

That’s totally normal and a sign that you’re thinking seriously about change. Coaching is about being open to think deeply and do something differently, with support and accountability.

If you’re not sure, let’s talk. A short discovery call can help you decide if coaching is the right kind of support for you and, if we could work well together. No pressure.
