The duration depends on your objectives. Some clients work on a short-term goal over 3-4 sessions, others engage in an extended programme (6-12 months) for leadership transformation, career change or team culture shift. We’ll discuss and tailor the commitment during your initial call.
Investment varies depending on the level of support, whether individual or team coaching, and whether you choose additional services (e.g., psychometric assessments, LinkedIn/CV review). Many clients pay via monthly instalments or in full upfront. We’ll provide a clear proposal and payment schedule upfront.

Many clients experience increased clarity and confidence from the very first session. Sustainable change typically develops over a series of sessions as you reflect, take action and build new habits.
Before your first session, you’ll receive an optional preparation guidance document to help you to reflect on your goals, challenges and aspirations. You may also complete a MiRo psychometric assessment if relevant. Ongoing sessions may include light reflection tasks or optional exercises to support your progress.
Coaching focuses on helping you unlock your own thinking, explore perspectives and make decisions that align with your goals. Mentoring, on the other hand, involves guidance, advice and sharing professional experience.
At Haus of Coaching, the balance between coaching and mentoring is agreed during our initial contracting process - ensuring you receive the right blend of reflective coaching and practical insight to support your development.
