FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Will this intervention make my health condition go away?

    Our work together is focused on helping you to better manage your life with your health condition and make space for what makes you feel like you again. In this process, some of your symptoms and/ or their impact may reduce and become less of a barrier to what matters to you and living your best life. 


    Doing things we enjoy and that are meaningful to us can help us through the vulnerabilities of our health challenges, improve our health & wellbeing and promote staying healthy.

  • I don’t feel I can make big changes in my life right now because my health condition impacts me too much… Can I still benefit from this intervention?

    Yes, you can. If you have recognised that something is not working for you and are thinking seriously about overcoming it, you have reached a great starting point. Change can start with a tiny step or adjustment, the impact of which gradually expands and radiates into other aspects of your life. The core vehicle for this is to connect with what truly matters to you.

  • Can I bring or have a support person with me?

    Yes, you can. You may like the reassurance of someone you know and trust being there to support you, especially for the first session. It is important for the support person to understand that the intervention is focused on your own needs, preferences and what you yourself want to achieve.


    Sometimes the people who support you may wish to seek support for themselves. This can be discussed separately. 

  • What are your office hours?

    My office hours are Mondays to Fridays 8:30am – 5:00pm.

  • How much time will it take?

    Sessions are usually 45mins long and take place once a week. 


    Programmes are tailor-made and can range from 2-3 to 10-12 sessions. 


    Every person is different. We can discuss what will work best for you and what you want to achieve.

  • How much does it cost?

    The rate for an individual 45-minute session is $120.00. Payment is due within 1 week of the session and can be made via bank transfer.


    Your 20-minute initial phone consultation is free of charge.

  • When is this type of intervention not suitable?

    If you experience symptoms of acute psychosis or moderate or greater cognitive deficits, this type of coaching intervention may not be suitable. You may require and benefit from accessing other services to support your health & wellbeing and activity participation at this time. I recommend that you consult your doctor. 


    If you feel not yet ready to actively implement change or confront past experiences, then perhaps my services may not yet right for you. I’m happy to talk to you about where you are at and recommend other supports that might suit you.

  • Do you offer group sessions?

    Intervention is primarily provided on a 1:1 basis to allow you to discuss sensitive issues, thoughts and feelings in privacy. 


    Small group programmes can be developed on specific topics in collaboration with health and disability providers.
