Coaching and Counseling Services are conducted online through Skype or FaceTime. Clients are responsible for downloading their preferred software. You may be surprised how easily our personal connection is made online and how effective the format is. Bring your mug of tea and wear something comfortable. Clients have their session in their homes, their offices, their cars, coffee shops (with ear buds), etc. Flexibility and a sense of privacy are key! If you prefer a phone consultation, the call is initiated by you (my number provided after purchase) and you absorb all charges.
