2. What is your approach?
My approach is very much client-centred; the focus is on you and your unique goals and objectives.
I aim to create a safe and calm space to help you both develop your language skills and explore options to commit to the next step in your career. I will work at your individual pace, tailoring my training and coaching to your unique personality and your needs.
I will be your biggest cheerleader, supporting and stretching you, drawing on your own internal resources to help you reach your desired outcomes.
3. What can I expect from my English language training sessions and how will they be structured?
Firstly, and most importantly, expect to be listened to fully, without judgement. This goes for both training and coaching.
​
We will spend our first session discussing your specific needs and objectives in depth. This will then form the basis of your training programme.
​
I favour a communicative approach when it comes to language training and aim to set reading, listening and writing tasks for homework so the session time is focused on oral communication.
​
I will send you a feedback sheet to you after each session with any grammar, vocabulary and communication points that have come up as well as strengths and areas for development.
4. How will my coaching be structured and what can I expect from my sessions?
Prior to our first coaching session, I will send you a pre-coaching exercise to complete. This will help you to begin to shape your aims and objectives for your coaching programme and will also provide me with a snapshot of where you are in your life right now.
​
We will then use the information you have provided on your form to explore your goals and objectives in greater detail during our first session.
​
From then on, you set the agenda for your own coaching experience, whether that means creating a coaching plan with specific outcomes, goals or actions, or opting for a more organic approach, where the focus is on the themes and issues as they emerge.
​
As your coach, I will never tell you what to do! Instead I will use questioning techniques to help you uncover the answers yourself and will keep you moving towards your goals.
5. How many sessions will I need?
This is a very personal decision based on your needs and also what you are ready to work on right now.
​
If you have a very specific goal, for example confidence building for an upcoming interview, you may wish to have a short blast of sessions. If you are seeking more clarity and direction around this new step in your career, you may prefer to have slightly more sessions spread over a longer period of time.
​
It is entirely up to you to decide the number of sessions, the duration of the sessions and also the frequency. I am flexible and will always put your needs at the centre of what I do.
6. What is the difference between coaching and training?
Coaching is all about having that space to get clearer about your goals and dreams, and generate your own possibilities to move forward.
​
As your coach, I am not there to provide advice, guidance or solutions; you know you best and my role is simply to bring your inner strengths and resources to the fore, enabling you to access your own solutions.
​
The principal aim of training, on the other hand, is to develop a specific skill, for example communicating in English or developing your skills as a global leader, with the purpose of improvement.
​
Whereas coaching is a client-led process, training tends to have a fixed programme or agenda with well-defined learning objectives.

​
7. Can I have a combination of coaching and training?
Yes! In fact, studies have shown that a combination of both training and coaching can be particularly effective with one serving to reinforce the benefits of the other.
​
The developmental nature of coaching can help you better cement learnings from your training into real behaviours.
​
With that being said, coaching and training are two separate disciplines and, from my experience, it is much more effective to have separate sessions for both, rather than try and combine them in one session.
​
8. Where can I have my coaching or training?
I am currently offering all coaching and training programmes online or in-company in the London area.
9. What happens if I need to cancel a training or coaching session?
I ask for 48 hours notice of cancellation. For further information, please see my cancellation policy
