Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Life coaching?
Life coaching guides an individual to make, meet and exceed personal and professional goals. By supporting you on a journey to rediscover your own strength and abilities.
Through foundational psychological principles and intuition, you will be empowered to confidently face challenges and overcome emotional barriers.
What should I expect?
You will be asked several questions, such as where you see yourself in the future, etc. We will work together, but it is for you to reflect. There is no pressure to make any decisions you don’t feel comfortable with, and all sessions will be completely confidential. Allowing you to explore your thoughts and feelings privately in a safe space.
Through a collaborative partnership, you will gently be encouraged to explore how to make positive changes in your life based on your aspirations. Support and feedback will be offered to help you stay focused on your goals, as well as potentially setting tasks and objectives for you to work on outside of sessions.
Is Life coaching the same as counselling?
Life Coaching is not counselling, nor the same as counselling. Counselling investigates the underlying causes of mental health problems and develops coping mechanisms to move forward. Counselling is a past-focused discipline, in which the counsellor identifies the reasons for the person’s feelings and behaviours and offers ways to handle a particular issue. Life Coaching does not look at your past, and thus does not diagnose or treat health-related problems. If the situation should arise, we advise you to contact your GP.
In life coaching, we do not dwell on the past or reasons, because we want to avoid any negative outcome. Instead, we focus on the present and future, because no matter what has happened in the past, any person can make it better and learn to achieve, grow and be happy.
Do I need to sign a coaching/consulting contract?
Yes. A coaching/consulting agreement is a good way to help our clients feel that they will get a quality service, but also to get commitment from them, which is essential. The agreement sets out the terms and conditions for a successful delivery of the consulting service and for achieving results. Angelz Consultancy uses a simple but comprehensive agreement as a good foundation for your coaching adventure.
What is the free 20-min chat session?
The free 20-min chat session is for new clients only. It’s for the purpose for a new client to get to know us and ask any questions they may have to gain clarity about the coaching sessions, so they can make an informed decision whether they wish to work with us.
Where are the consulting sessions held?
All coaching/consulting sessions are primarily held online via videoconferencing. A physical in-person session will be conducted depending on the situation or upon request at a location that suits both parties.
Are the coaching sessions confidential?
Absolutely. What happens in our sessions stays in our sessions.
We fully understand the value of your trust, and we take every precaution to safeguard it. We will provide you with a coaching agreement that governs every client-coach relationship we enter and places our standards before you in plain text.
What are the payment options?
On our website we have a secure SSL checkout with the option to pay with credit card through Stripe’s payment gateway and Paypal secure system. Electronics Fund Transfer (EFT) option is also available.
Can I claim Medicare for my coaching sessions?
Unfortunately, No. Life coaching is not covered by Medicare as coaching is not considered part of a Mental health care. If you need help with your mental health, we advise to contact your local GP to obtain a mental health care plan.
