Frequently Asked Questions

Psychotherapy typically addresses mental health issues and emotional difficulties. This often includes helping clients work through psychological problems stemming from past trauma or other distressing experiences. In contrast, coaching is generally more present and future-oriented and emphasizes helping individuals meet their goals, grow personally and spiritually, and make informed and conscious life choices.

I do not hold any formal coaching certification and that is a deliberate choice, not an oversight. My preparation for this work comes from extensive academic training to acquire my Doctorate in Counselling Psychology, three decades as a Registered Psychologist (now retired), advanced study in Jungian, Transpersonal, and Energy psychologies, and many years of university teaching, organizational consulting, and professional leadership. Coaching certifications typically take months to complete whereas the depth of training and lived experience behind my work took multiple decades to develop. I bring that experience, as well as a deep commitment to learning and growth to my coaching practice to help you move toward a more meaningful, purposeful, and beautiful life.

A first session would typically focus on establishing a productive working relationship between us. That includes building rapport and trust, exploring your reasons for seeking out coaching, clarifying what you want from our sessions, identifying what challenges you may be currently facing, as well as any obstacles that may have been holding you back from achieving your goals, and establishing how we could best work together to help you create the life you desire that supports and reflects the real “you.”

Some clients choose to work short-term focusing on a specific decision, challenge, or life transition, while others engage in a longer reflective process over time. Many clients begin with one or two sessions and then decide whether they would like to continue.

In all cases, I give clients my unqualified attention and focus on their unique needs rather than following any standard coaching format.

Yes, I offer a complimentary 15 minute telephone or Zoom consultation to identify what issues you would like to explore in coaching and whether or not we would be a good fit to work together.

Currently I am offering sessions online or by phone.

Coaching is an investment in how you can consciously and actively shape your personal life and your career and find greater meaning, purpose, and beauty going forward. Below are a few ways to work together, depending on your needs and how much guidance and support you are looking for.

All Sessions are 60-Minutes

Single Session — CAD $325.00

A focused, one-on-one conversation—this is ideal if you have a specific question, decision, or transition you are working through, or if you would like to experience coaching with me before committing to an ongoing engagement.

Packages

Complex problems are rarely resolved in a single conversation: for example, reconnecting with meaning, purpose, and direction in one’s life. Most clients find that a series of sessions spaced over several weeks allows for greater movement and significant change. Packages also offer a saving over single-session pricing.

Starter Package — 3 Sessions — CAD $795.00 (5% savings) This package offers a brief arc of work that is well suited to exploring a specific question or getting oriented before deciding whether to continue.

Core Package — 6 Sessions — CAD $1,755.00 (10% savings) Six sessions, typically spaced every one to two weeks, gives enough time to move from a first conversation into real, sustained change.

Extended Package — 12 Sessions — CAD $3,315.00 (15% savings) This offering is appropriate for clients who want to work through a significant life or career transition or who want ongoing depth-oriented support over several months.

(Applicable taxes will be added to all single session and package fees)
