Exclusive Coaching
with Chess

As my coaching client, we will have regular one-to-one, online meetings. I bring understanding, non-judgement, warmth, and the occasional bad dad joke to our time together! We will jointly decide on activities to do between our sessions. Typically we meet every week or two and both end up doing homework between meetings!

​

As each client is individual, I do not have a specific coaching plan that I work to. However, I do prioritise wellbeing, so always want to make sure my goal is to support you towards making a healthy, helpful choices.

​

We work towards creating an individual 'life blueprint', a written plan that summarises our work together. It highlights your personal goals, values, needs and wants, so you can move forwards confidently. 

Typically I work with clients for 6-12 sessions. However, it varies, and the amount of times, and frequency of our meetings, is your choice. 

We can meet once, identify where you are feeling stuck and work on ideas to move forwards. If you're going through a break up or other hard time, you may want to meet more to have that extra support. We can do some work, take a break and come back. 

​

As my coaching model is individual, there are no rules to our amount of sessions. And I always try to leave the door open for Scapegoat alumni! It's been a few years? No problem, give me a shout and we can see what you need now. 

• Coaching is not therapy. Although I am a qualified psychotherapist, it is a regulated profession and I am not authorised to offer therapy outside my jurisdiction. To avoid any confusion, I do not offer any therapy sessions through the Scapegoat Club. 

• Coaching is not crisis support. If you are in crisis, or feel that you or another person are at risk from harm, please contact your local crisis supports. 

I limit my coaching clients to just a few a at a time. I want to ensure I have time to support you and have availability in my schedule. In keeping my client load low, I can focus on your individual journey, allowing greater depth and quality in our work together. 

Through my own experience of family betrayal, estrangement, and decades of abuse I have done a lot of therapy and hard thinking. 

The life experience I bring to my coaching is also unique. Before adding a master's degree in psychotherapy to my experience, I worked for over a decade in corporate finance, had a PhD in earth sciences, taught college, and dabbled as a wilderness guide. 

​

Each individual sessions is priced at $150 Canadian for a one hour, private internet video call with me. 

I know that the best experiences are based on full commitment from both sides. I always aim to give 100%. In order to do so, I require full payment 24 hours before an appointment to secure the time. Any bookings made more than 24 hours in advance can be rescheduled or fully refunded. Cancellations within 24 hours or no-shows are not refundable. 

I am confident that my sessions are valuable, and try to ensure you feel satisfied with your experience. I also feel very strongly that investment into our wellbeing pays off indefinitely. The value I have found in working with the support that is right for me, has far outweighed the free, low-cost, or non-specialised help I have tried. 

​

I understand that individual coaching is not affordable for everyone, and offer my YouTube videos and blog as no-cost resources instead.
