  4. How often can I attend life coaching sessions?
     How often you attend coaching is really dependent on you, your goal and what you would like to get out of life coaching. It is suggested that sessions take place fortnightly to allow you time in between to achieve your actions within the goals you set, but not too much time so that your goals become less of a priority. However, this is also flexible around your expectations.

  5. Can a package be tailored to meet my needs?
     Life coaching is designed to assist and guide you to be able to achieve your life’s potential. Therefore, sessions are tailored around your needs.

     If you can only attend 4 sessions or less, then sessions would be fast tracked in order to include the areas that are important to you. Your needs will be discussed in a phone consultation.

     There are ten sessions that make up the model.

  10. What is the difference between life coaching and therapy or counseling?
