Frequently Asked Questions

All sessions are held online via video call. At the time of writing this, I use Google Meet. You just need a device with a camera and a reasonably quiet space.

I’m based in New Zealand (NZST/NZDT) and yes, I work with clients internationally. Scheduling across timezones is something we figure out together — I have availability at a range of times to make it work. When you book a discovery call, you’ll see available times converted to your local timezone automatically.

Therapy typically works with the past — processing trauma, diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, healing wounds. That’s important work, and there are brilliant people who do it.

Coaching works with where you are now and where you want to go. It’s forward-focused, action-oriented, and collaborative. I’m not here to fix you — because you’re not broken. I’m here to help you think more clearly, move through what’s stuck, and figure out what you actually want.

If you’re in a mental health crisis or need clinical support, please seek a qualified therapist or counsellor. Coaching works best alongside — not instead of — that kind of care when it’s needed.

Expect a conversation, not a lecture. I’ll ask questions, reflect things back, and occasionally challenge your thinking — gently but honestly. You don’t need to arrive with anything figured out. You just need to show up.

Some sessions feel like a breakthrough. Some feel more like slow, quiet clarity building. Both are useful. The work is yours — I just help you do it better.

Yes — genuinely, not just as a marketing line. I’m neurodivergent myself and work through a lens that treats different brains as different, not deficient. That means sessions move at your pace, tangents are welcome, we don’t force cookie-cutter frameworks onto you, and I’m not going to pathologise the way you think.

You don’t need to mask here.
(For those wondering a bit more, I have ADHD and am likely Autistic also according to tests and other information.)

No. A diagnosis can be useful context, but it’s not a requirement. Whether you’re formally diagnosed, self-identified, or just know your brain works differently — you’re welcome here.

General life coaching covers a wide range — goals, habits, relationships, career, mindset. It’s broad by design.

Purpose Coaching goes specific. It’s structured around one central question: what are you actually here to do? Not your job title. Not what you’re supposed to want. What genuinely drives you at a core level — and how do you build a life that reflects that.

It draws on a certified methodology and tends to go deeper than general coaching in a shorter timeframe.

The Purpose Coaching package is six sessions. Depending on your pace and schedule, most people move through it in 3 to 8 weeks. It’s structured but not rigid — we follow what’s alive for you.

That’s literally the most common starting point. If you already knew, you wouldn’t need the process. Not knowing — or feeling like you’ve never quite fit into the story you were handed — is exactly where this work begins.

Yes. I hold certifications in Life Coaching and Purpose Coaching through Transformation Academy. I’m also a trained Holistic Bodyworker with over 12 years of experience working with people across mind, body, and life. My approach draws on all of it.

That’s a fair concern and I take it seriously. That’s part of why the discovery call exists — to check fit before anyone commits. If something isn’t working after we start, I’d rather have an honest conversation about it than have you sit through sessions that aren’t serving you. Reach out and we’ll figure it out.
