What is Life Coaching?
Coaching focuses on you, where you are currently in your personal and working life, where you would like to be and how to get there.
It is empowering, enjoyable and you WILL see results.
Is Life Coaching the same as therapy or counselling?
Whereas counselling or therapy tend to concentrate on one aspect of your life, frequently delving into past experiences and offering advice, Life Coaching concentrates on the whole person and their life as it is now and offers no advice or suggestions. With careful questioning by your coach, you will arrive at conclusions and make decisions for yourself.
How does Life coaching work?
Life Coaching takes a questioning and reflective approach; a good coach will listen attentively, have your best interests at heart at all times and never consider anything you do or say to be silly.
A professional relationship evolves based on mutual trust and understanding and you will arrive at ‘the answers’ to your concerns at a pace that suits you.
Coaching also looks at self-limiting beliefs and habits which may be getting in the way of you moving forward in your life.
How does the process start?
During a 45 minute FREE taster session (either via phone or face-to-face, depending on your location), you will learn how Pavlenka’s style of coaching works and how coaching has helped others in a similar situation to yourself.
What if I don’t feel ready to have some Life Coaching?
Once you have had your initial taster session you are under no obligation to sign up for any coaching sessions. It has to feel right for you and you have to feel ready to make some changes, no matter how small, in order to move forward in your life.
Will I have to talk about things that make me feel uncomfortable?
Absolutely not! Whilst at times you may be challenged to explain something you have said or consider looking at your thoughts and actions in a different way, you only talk about those things you feel happy to share with your coach.
How often will I have coaching sessions?
Smallsteps takes a flexible approach to accommodate your financial and time restraints. However, in order to keep the momentum going, it is advisable to let no more than a month lapse between sessions.
How long does a session last?
Each session lasts an hour, either by phone or face to face. During this time you will be encouraged to talk abut whatever is relevant to you at the time and you will arrive at setting some goals or tasks in order to help you move forward.
How much does Life Coaching cost?
Rates and packages are discussed during the complementary taster session. Afterwards YOU choose whether or not you wish to invest your time and money in coaching at a frequency that suits your lifestyle and budget. Pavlenka not only offers competitive rates but also goes the extra mile in supporting you between sessions via email and undertakes any research on your behalf, where appropriate.
