Frequently Asked Questions

Once you have completed your booking, I will connect with you to arrange your first session at a convenient time for you.

What will we do in the coaching sessions?

The coaching sessions are all about what you need and want from the coaching. The agenda for the sessions is yours and you get to decide what you want to work on.

Where will the coaching sessions be held?

I offer online coaching through Zoom or if you are in Johannesburg, we can arrange for sessions at my private practice in Oaklands.
