What Clients Are Saying

"The best thing about this program was tackling current leadership issues, excellent rapport with coach, flexible time slots, time to focus on what's most important to discuss."
Head of Department, SWSLHD
"I found it extremely rewarding, and emotional too - everything I worked on with a heightened awareness of how I worked and what needed to change. The reward came through reflection and the realisation that many strategies are simple - I can see over the sessions an incremental change in the way I work, but also recognise ongoing work needed."
Healthcare worker, NSW Health
"I benefited from reflection and discussion, strategising about different issues, being challenged about my assumptions or the stories I have told myself. I only wish I had done this twenty years ago! "
Clinical Director, National Health Agency

Frequently Asked Questions

Coaching FAQs

Coaching is a structured, goal-oriented process that helps individuals enhance their performance, develop new skills, and navigate challenges. Our coaching is evidence-based and tailored to the unique needs of healthcare professionals.

Coaching is focused on personal and professional growth through structured solution-focused techniques, psychologically-safe conversations and goal-setting. Unlike therapy, which addresses emotional and psychological concerns, coaching helps high-performing individuals unlock their potential taking them from a good place to a great place, with guided reflection, strategy development and accountability for meaningful change.

Coaching sessions are one-on-one, virtual conversations where you set the agenda. Your coach asks insightful questions to help you gain clarity, overcome barriers, explore options and create an actionable plan. Sessions are future-focused, solution-driven, and designed to boost confidence, decision-making, and professional growth—all in a supportive, non-judgmental space. Coaching is highly likely to reduce stress and anxiety, and improve the way you feel and function.

The cost varies based on the coaching program and session length. We offer flexible packages to suit different needs. Contact us for detailed pricing.
