What is Coaching?
Coaching gives you space to reflect, practical tools to overcome obstacles, and the structure you need to stay on course. It can also be combined with counselling if deeper emotional work is needed.
Coaching is to…
~ Identify what’s not working
~ Clarify your goals
~ Create a clear plan of action
~ Stay focused and accountable
How is counselling different from coaching?
Counselling
is a therapeutic process that often focuses on healing past wounds, managing emotional difficulties, and increasing self-awareness.
Coaching
is more future-focused and goal-oriented, helping you move forward with clarity, confidence, and intention.
What to expect in a Coaching Session
Coaching is a future-focused, empowering process that supports clarity, confidence, and meaningful action. It is designed to help you move forward, whether you are navigating change, seeking fulfillment, or exploring your purpose.
Sessions provide a safe, collaborative space to explore goals, overcome blocks, and create practical steps aligned with your values. The coaching process tends to be more structured and directive than counselling, offering clear guidance and tools to help you stay focused and build momentum.
I often integrate aspects of counselling into the coaching process to better understand where you are coming from and support deeper self-awareness alongside forward movement.

“I used to think that everyone has certain limits to personal growth and that we must make do in life as best we can with the skills and strengths that we have naturally acquired. Having worked with Susan as my coach, I now realize that we can learn to break out of our 'comfort zone' and achieve personal and career goals that seemed previously out of reach. I did it! Susan has also helped me to become a more well-rounded person which has positively affected both my marriage and my career. Without any doubt, I consider coaching to be the most valuable benefit provided by my company.”

“I wanted to start my own business. When I hired Susan for business coaching, I expected her to immediately tell me about business plans and instead I learned that the first step is to know myself. If I had listened to Susan, I would have saved myself from losing $7500 on a bad business deal. Now I’m listening!”
