Q & A

We've put together a selection of answers to the questions people ask most about our Relationship Coaching.

What’s the difference between coaching and counseling?
Traditional therapy involves spending a lot of time determining how you got into the rut you’re in by exploring childhood issues, etc.  While at times this can be useful, we feel it is more important to identify the pressing issues you are facing now, and focus on the future.

Can You Explain the Coaching Process?

There are three phases to our work together: the Awareness Phase, the Build Phase, and the Mastery Phase. 

Awareness Phase: During this phase, your coach helps you understand the reasons behind what you think, feel, say, and do across different situations and in your relationship life. You will get to decide how often you take full accountability for the outcomes you get in your relationships based on your actions.

Build Phase: Now that you have increased your level of self-awareness it’s time to embark on the second phase: Build. This phase is all about learning simple and user-friendly tools so you can confidently step away from aspects from your past that no longer serve you well, and move into a space of empowerment, love of self and others.

Solidify Phase: In this final phase you get to really fine-tune your new found skills. Fully embracing new healthy and love-based habits you will learn to consistently take action in the direction you want.

How Long Will We Need To Coach Together?

How quickly you progress depends on how open and willing you are to do the deep work necessary to create the changes you desire

What is the Minimum Commitment?

During our Private Coaching we work with individuals and couples for a minimum of 12 sessions and Group Coaching for a minimum of 6 sessions. We work this way because we want to be with you through the ups and downs of your life, especially the downs, the bumps in the road.  We have found that these bumps occur when we are on the verge of a breakthrough, yet if we give up just because the going gets rough, we can throw away all of the progress we’ve already made. On the other hand, if we show up and face the issue with a skilled guide, we can transform our bump into a springboard for success.

What is the Investment?

Our coaching represents an investment because investments provide returns, greater than the initial investment, over time. In this case, the investment is in you and your relationship, and the returns are life changing, and priceless.

You may not be accustomed to truly investing in yourself. If this is the case, it is likely this is part of your relationship/marriage issues as well.  In order to have the relationship of your dreams you will need to learn to put self-care first.

As they say on airplanes, you must put your own oxygen mask on first before you can help anyone else.  Investing in yourself is part of learning this crucial lesson, because if you don’t invest in the help you need to change and grow, then you won’t.
