What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

Coaching is one of the most powerful tools used to influence change and support growth. It differs from therapy in that it focuses on goal setting and action-oriented strategies. While therapy may address past traumas and emotional healing, coaching helps you identify your aspirations, enhance self-awareness, and develop practical skills to achieve greatness in all areas of your life.

How does coaching help?

For individuals, coaching serves as a compass, guiding you through the complexities of life and work. It provides a safe and supportive space for self-exploration and self-improvement. This introspective journey allows you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your values, and your motivations.

Coaching is particularly effective for leaders and professionals who often face multifaceted challenges, from managing teams to making critical decisions. It offers invaluable support in navigating these complexities. Through coaching, leaders can enhance their emotional intelligence, communication, and leadership skills, resulting in more effective and empathetic leadership.

Another critical aspect of coaching is goal setting. Whether you are striving for personal or professional growth, setting clear, measurable goals is pivotal. Coaches work closely with clients to establish realistic, yet challenging goals. They then assist in developing actionable plans to reach these goals, holding clients accountable for their progress. This structured approach ensures that you remain focused, motivated, and on track to attain your desired outcomes.

What is coaching best for?

Coaching is best suited for individuals seeking guidance, support, and transformation in various aspects of life. It works best when there's a genuine desire for change, growth, and improvement. Whether you want to achieve goals, improve your skills or need help navigating a career or life transition, coaching provides the structure, motivation, and expertise to help you get there.

In business, coaching is invaluable for leaders and aspiring leaders, helping them enhance their leadership abilities, emotional intelligence, and decision-making skills. It is also effective for resolving workplace conflicts and improving team dynamics. For entrepreneurs and business owners, coaching can offer guidance on business strategy, marketing, and growth, helping you overcome obstacles, and supporting sustainable success.

Can coaching help with anxiety?

Coaching is not a substitute for therapy or medication when anxiety reaches clinical levels. Individuals with severe or debilitating anxiety disorders should seek help from mental health professionals. Coaching can complement these approaches and offer a beneficial addition to a comprehensive approach to anxiety management. Coaches help clients become more aware of their thoughts, emotions, and triggers that contribute to anxiety. By identifying these patterns, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of their anxiety. They can also access tools and techniques for emotional regulation and managing stress effectively, which may help reduce the factors that exacerbate anxiety.

How does coaching work?

Coaching is a dynamic and personalised partnership that empowers you to discover your strengths, align with your authentic self and make positive changes that lead to a more fulfilling and successful life and career. Through deep listening, powerful questioning, and targeted exercises, your coach will help you learn, and grow and will support you to reach your goals. They encourage you to find your answers, discover your strengths, set meaningful goals, take action, overcome challenges and unleash your personal and professional greatness.

Coaching sessions are not included in your platform membership and are billed separately. The sessions will take place online and you have the freedom to schedule each session to align with your commitments. If you wish to work with one of our coaches, schedule a free 15-minute consultation with the coach you want to work with, by clicking here.

How long does a coaching session last?

Your coaching journey begins with a 2-hour discovery session, where you and your coach delve deep into your goals, values, and aspirations. This personalised session sets the foundation for your journey and can be tailored to fit your schedule. Following the discovery session, each subsequent coaching session lasts 1 hour and will be focused on moving you towards your desired outcomes.

Who are your coaches?

Our diverse team consists of certified professionals who have undergone a rigorous selection process to ensure their exceptional abilities and commitment to your growth.

How do I find a coach that is the right fit for me?

We understand the importance of finding the right coach who aligns with your goals and values. We have written a helpful blog post that provides guidance and tips on how to find the perfect coach for your unique needs.

Can I switch coaches if I feel the need?

Finding the right coach is crucial for your success, which is why we offer free 15-minute consultations with our coaches to ensure compatibility before committing to an ongoing coaching relationship. We understand that sometimes a coaching relationship doesn’t work out. If you find that your coach isn't the perfect fit, we encourage open dialogue with your coach to address any concerns and explore possible solutions. If you reach the point where an ongoing relationship isn’t possible, your coach will work with you to find an alternative coach from our diverse network.

How do I book a coaching session?

Booking a coaching session is easy and flexible. Directly connect with a coach by exploring their profile in the “Meet our experts” section and scheduling a free 15-minute consultation with them to get started. Click here.

How often should I schedule coaching sessions?

The frequency of your coaching sessions is entirely based on your preferences and availability. We generally recommend scheduling sessions every 2-4 weeks, as it allows ample time for reflection, integration, and implementation of the insights discussed during your session.

Will the details of my coaching session be shared with anyone other than my coach?

We respect your privacy and any personal or business information shared by you in individual or group coaching sessions will be treated as confidential. No information will be disclosed to a third party without your prior permission, except where required by law. All written or documented information will be securely stored and kept for that purpose it was provided in line with the UK Data Act 2018.

What is your cancellation policy?

We value your commitment to personal growth and our coaching process. For individual sessions, we kindly request a minimum of 48 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Failure to do so will result in a no-show charge equivalent to the full session fee. For coaching packages, we offer flexibility and understanding. You can cancel at any time by reaching out to us at support@intogreat.net, and we will gladly refund any unused balance prorated against the sessions you've had. For more information, please refer to our detailed Terms and Conditions.
