Terms & Conditions

Coaching is partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business partnership) between the Coach and the Coachee in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to learn further, and sometimes deeper aspects, about themselves their life, and their potential.

They are sessions to learn new skills and how to use tools that maximise personal, relational, and professional potential in the real world.

It is designed to facilitate the creation/development of personal, professional or business goals and to develop and carry out a strategy/plan for achieving those goals.
 

The coachee is responsible for determining what is the key area of focus for any given coaching session and the coach will work to that agenda.  

If the agenda starts to move away from the outcomes that the coachee has identified, the coach will bring the coachee’s attention to this, and ultimately it is for the coachee to determine the focus.

​

Sessions may facilitate a connection to your own lived truths and experiences, and to potential emotions that haven't been connected with, felt, or expressed in a long time or at all, this is all okay - any and all emotions are welcome in sessions.

Imagine your mind is a busy marketplace. Meditation is like sitting down in a quiet corner of that marketplace and observing all the activity going on without getting swept up in it.

Think of mindfulness as a muscle. Meditation is the workout that strengthens that muscle.

In short, mindfulness is the what (the state of being present), and meditation is the how (the practice to achieve that state).
