Frequently Asked Questions
What is coaching?
There is no formal definition of the word coaching, but one definition of coaching is “to create an idea environment in which to learn, grow and develop”. (Van Nieuwerburgh, 2022
We now use the term coach to describe someone that facilitates groups and individuals in an impactful, life enhancing way to enhance wellbeing and achieve future growth and goals.
Through the coaching process, individuals gain a deeper understanding of their own strengths, weaknesses, values, and motivations to enhance their performance in various areas, including work, personal life, and specific skills.
Is coaching a type of therapy?
Coaching is often confused with therapy, but they serve different purposes and approaches. While both aim to support individuals in their personal development, coaching is primarily focused on the present and future. My coaching style brings awareness to what part the past has on our thoughts, emotions and behaviours so that you can build the skills required to move forward. Ultimately, coaching provides a supportive framework for individuals to envision their future and take proactive steps that are intrinsically theirs and aligned with their authentic self.
