Coaching is an investment in yourself and your future.
You will not find the prices of my packages on my website as they are subject to review. More importantly, I remember my experience as a recoverer, terrified of wasting any money at a time when I was not earning and feeling as if every penny spent on me was a drain on my family. Presented with a costed brochure I would have made an instant decision based on the price, without exploring the value of the package to me and to my family. I know that without the skilled support of my own wellbeing coach, I would still be stuck on the sofa, spending large amounts of money on ad hoc treatments and generic supplements. I would have no hope of being well enough to return to work and ‘pay my way’ again.
Do you hate experiencing a hard sell? Me too
I promise that there will be no hard sell, no pressure or obligation to spend any more than the fee for the initial hour-long session. Coaching is a joint enterprise, depending on both the trust that develops between us, and your commitment to following through on the work we do together. It is not in my interests to work with someone who bought their package because they felt obliged, or struggled to say no to me. As coaches, we refer to such a situation as ‘coaching uphill’.
During our introductory session, we will both be coming to a decision as to whether coaching is the right path for you, and whether we are a good fit to work together. On occasion I have said no to a prospective client who wanted to buy a package, either because I believed that they were quietly hoping that I would fix them, or because our personalities did not connect. In the latter case I am happy to suggest another coach who I think would be a better fit.
Exploring ways to fund that investment, together
If you book an introductory session with me, we will touch on your financial situation as part of an exploration of whether coaching with me is the right step for you to take. If it is helpful we can explore some of the ways that other people have funded their recovery.
Can I just buy single sessions?
I work in packages because this gives us time to develop the trusting relationship needed for your healing. It gives us structure and certainty through the inevitable ups and downs of the journey, and helps you to maintain momentum in your recovery.
Are payment plans available?
Yes, payment plans are available to spread the cost of your package.
For a small number of clients on a fixed income, with no other means of support, I do offer a sliding scale based on what they can afford to pay.
Let’s talk, so that you can decide for yourself whether investing in working on your recovery with me feels right for you.
