Frequently Asked Questions
Straightforward answers about coaching, sessions, fit, and what to expect.
What is life coaching?
It is a focused conversation about what you want to understand, decide, or do. You set the direction, and I help with questions, structure, practical next steps, and accountability.
Is coaching therapy?
No. Coaching is not psychotherapy, mental-health diagnosis or treatment, medical care, or crisis support. Therapy and coaching have different purposes, and therapy is valuable when clinical support is needed.
Can we meet online?
Yes. We can meet through Zoom regardless of where you live.
Is in-person coaching available?
Yes. I offer in-person sessions in the Taunton, Massachusetts area. I do not publish an office address on this site.
Do I need a perfect goal?
No. Figuring out the goal can be part of our work.
Can I try a short session first?
Yes. A 15-minute session lets you get a feel for my style and ask questions before you decide.
Will you tell me what to do?
I may offer observations, structure, or ideas, but your decisions and actions are always your own.
Is coaching confidential?
I respect confidentiality subject to applicable legal or safety obligations and the coaching agreement. Electronic communication always has privacy limitations.
