FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this covered by insurance?
No, coaching services are typically not covered by insurance. Most extended health benefits and insurance plans in Canada do not include coverage for coaching, as it is distinct from therapy or counselling provided by regulated health professionals. It is always a good idea to check with your insurance provider for details specific to your plan.
Is this therapy?
No, this is not therapy. As your coach, I am unable to diagnose or treat mental health conditions, nor do I address past trauma or psychological disorders. However, I am here to provide personal perspective, guidance, and support as you work toward your goals. Coaching is focused on helping you set actionable objectives, develop practical skills, and foster your self-awareness to navigate life’s challenges.
Is everything virtual?
Yes, all coaching sessions are conducted virtually. This allows for flexibility and accessibility, ensuring you can participate from anywhere in Canada or abroad, provided you have a reliable internet connection. Online sessions are held through secure video conferencing platforms to maintain confidentiality and make the coaching process convenient for you.
How often do we meet?
The frequency of coaching sessions can be tailored to your needs and preferences. Many clients choose to meet weekly or bi-weekly, allowing for consistent progress and accountability, while others may prefer monthly sessions or a flexible schedule depending on their goals and availability. We will discuss and agree upon a meeting frequency that best supports your growth and fits your lifestyle.
