Q. Is life coaching like counselling or other forms of therapy?
Sometimes coaching is compared to other methods of therapy, but it’s very different. Counselling and therapy often address dysfunctions and generally focus on past emotional issues, whereas coaching is mainly focused on the future. Coaching keeps you looking forward at all times helping you to achieve greater success much quicker.

Q. Does a life coach give you advice or answers to your problems?
No, the truth is the answers to all our questions and problems in life lie within ourselves, a coach helps to uncover them and act as the catalyst to enable clients find their own solution. Of course, coach's do make suggestions and share thoughts where they feel appropriate.

Q. Does coaching work?
1998 survey by the International Coaching Federation revealed that 98.5 per cent of clients polled reported their investment in coaching to be highly valuable. The general feedback from clients is that by using a coach, you become incredibly focused and therefore produce results faster. I believe coaching is growing at a phenomenal rate precisely because it does work.
