Professional coaching is an ongoing partnership between coach and client, in which the coaching client is helped to achieve fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Through the process of coaching, clients typically deepen their awareness and learning, achieve more effective results more easily and enhance their quality of life.
Each of our coaches has a slightly different way of working, but all offer regular coaching sessions — usually ranging from once per week or fortnight, to once per month. Coaching sessions may be held in person or on the telephone, or in combination, and may last between 45 minutes to 90 minutes, depending on frequency. The process is confidential, and customised to suit the personal needs of each individual coaching client.
Our coaches are all professionally trained and are members of the International Coach Federation, and as such, uphold rigorous professional and ethical standards.
In addition to our professional coaching services, we also offer coach training for those interested in becoming a coach, or those who want to adopt coaching methods and principles in their work. Please visit the Coach School website to find out more about our programs.
