1:1 Coaching
You still love teaching. But you’re exhausted by what it takes to keep doing it like this.
You might still enjoy being in the classroom. You know you’re good at what you do. But the energy it takes to keep everything going is starting to affect the rest of your life, and the thought of doing another five or ten years in exactly the same way feels increasingly difficult.
Perhaps you’ve already tried being more organised, setting better boundaries or telling yourself that next term will be different. Perhaps you’ve started wondering about reducing your teaching hours, exploring something alongside teaching or finding a different way to use the skills and experience you’ve built.
But changing anything can feel complicated, particularly when your salary, pension, security and years invested in teaching are part of the equation.
You don’t need to have the answer before you come to coaching.
Our sessions give you dedicated time and space to step away from the day-to-day demands of work, properly explore what you want and look at the choices available to you. Together, we’ll untangle your thinking, challenge assumptions that might be keeping you stuck and turn ideas into realistic next steps.
A more sustainable working life doesn’t have to start with a dramatic change. Sometimes it starts with having the time and headspace to properly consider what could be different.
I work with a minimum of six sessions because meaningful change usually takes more than one conversation. You can choose 6, 9 or 12 sessions depending on what you want to work on and how much ongoing support you would like.
Not sure which option is right for you? You don’t need to decide before we speak. We can talk it through during your free initial chat.
6 Sessions
Focused support for a particular decision, question or change.
Six sessions can be a good fit if you already have a sense of what you want to explore. You might be considering reducing your teaching hours, working through a career decision, exploring an idea alongside teaching or trying to work out what needs to change so that teaching stops taking so much out of the rest of your life.
We’ll give your thinking the time and attention it rarely gets in everyday life, explore what’s getting in the way and help you move from going round in circles to making considered decisions and taking realistic next steps.
A good fit if you have a particular area you want to focus on and are ready to start exploring what could change.

9 Sessions
More time to explore your options and support as you begin making changes.
Nine sessions give us more space to explore not only what you want to change, but what you want your working life to look like instead.
You might know that you can’t keep working at this pace indefinitely but still have no idea what a realistic alternative looks like. We can explore different possibilities, work through the practical and emotional barriers that come up and begin turning your thinking into action.
The additional sessions also give us time to review what happens when you start trying things, having conversations or making decisions, and adjust as you learn more about what works for you.
A good fit if you want time to explore your direction and ongoing support as you begin taking action.

12 Sessions
Ongoing coaching as you explore, make and put changes into practice.
Twelve sessions give you a longer period of support if you want coaching alongside you as your working life begins to change.
You might be making a significant decision, reducing your teaching hours, developing something alongside teaching or working towards a different shape of career altogether. Rather than having to work everything out at once, we have time to explore, take action, review what happens and adapt along the way.
This option gives you continued space to work through new questions and challenges as they arise, while keeping sight of the bigger picture you’re working towards.
A good fit if you want ongoing support not only deciding what you want to change, but as you begin creating it.

What’s Included in Every Package?
Whichever option you choose, you’ll receive:
An Intake Session in addition to your package sessions, giving us time to look at where you are now, what you’d like to change and what you want from coaching.
60-minute 1:1 coaching sessions via Zoom, giving you dedicated, uninterrupted time to think.
Your own Inner Confidence Coaching notebook for reflections, ideas and anything you want to capture between sessions.
A follow-up email after each session, with key reflections or actions where helpful.
Email support between sessions, with replies within 48 hours on weekdays.
Tools and resources where they would be useful to support the work we’re doing.
A 60-minute Integration Session 6–8 weeks after your final coaching session, giving us the opportunity to review your progress, reflect on what has changed and consider what you want to carry forward.
Coaching is at the heart of our work together, but where I have relevant knowledge or experience that would be useful, we can also agree to bring in elements of mentoring.
Which option is Right for me?
6 sessions - Choose this if you have a particular decision, question or area of your working life that you want focused support to explore.
9 sessions - Choose this if you want more time to explore what you want and support as you begin making changes.
12 sessions - Choose this if you want ongoing coaching as you work out your direction, take action and navigate the changes that follow.
There isn’t a “better” package or an amount of coaching you should need. It depends on where you are starting from, what you want to work on and how much support you would like along the way.
If you’re unsure, don’t worry. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to coaching during your free Chemistry Call and decide together which option is likely to suit you best.
Ready to explore what could change?
You don’t need to have a plan. You don’t need to know exactly what you want next. And you certainly don’t need to have decided whether to stay, reduce your hours or do something completely different.
You might simply know that you don’t want to keep feeling this exhausted and you can’t imagine carrying on in exactly the same way for another five or ten years.
That is enough of a place to start.
Coaching gives you the time and space to explore the question:
“What would need to change for me to want to stay?”
