That’s completely fine! A big part of coaching is the discovery process—a structured approach to uncover what truly matters to you. This might involve self-reflection, gathering insights from others through 360s, and digging deep into your values and aspirations. The process helps you move from uncertainty to clarity, crafting goals that resonate deeply. However, if you’re not willing to invest time and energy in exploring these questions, coaching might not be effective. Ultimately, this needs to be something you genuinely want and yearn for. A deep desire for change and curiosity about what’s possible will lead to results. You don’t need all the answers to start—just the willingness to explore!

Changing goals isn’t a failure; it’s a natural part of understanding and refining what truly matters to you. At Amaidhi, we love intentional change. To us, it’s a sign of clarity (sometimes hard-won). Growth is a dynamic process and as you explore yourself deeper, what was important before may no longer be so. As coaches, we help navigate your emerging inner compass, reassess what’s most important, and realign your efforts toward your evolving goals.

Missing commitments occasionally is part of being human—life happens, and it’s okay. Coaching isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress. A good coach will help you reflect on what got in the way and adjust your approach to make future commitments more realistic or aligned with your priorities. This works best when you’re honest with yourself and your coach.

That’s completely okay. Life can be unpredictable and priorities may shift. If you need to take a break, we can discuss the best way to wrap up our current progress and ensure you feel supported during the pause. Coaching is a flexible process, and when you’re ready to return, we can pick up where we left off or reassess your goals to align with any changes that have occurred.

Our coaching journeys are personalized and fees depend on the scope of what we design together. This becomes clear during our initial exploratory chat, where we discuss your needs, goals, and how coaching might support you. This ensures a transparent process that is aligned from the start.

Typically, fees are paid in two equal instalments, one at the start and one midway through the journey. If you have specific needs, we may discuss further options.

Yes, I offer a few partial/full need-based scholarships each year to ensure coaching is accessible to those who might benefit most. If you’d like to apply, please email learning@amaidhi.com with a brief description of your context and needs. We will review your request and get in touch to discuss further.

Therapy is a licensed, regulated profession requiring advanced degrees, licensing exams, and adherence to ethical standards set by organizations like the American Psychological Association (APA). Coaching, in contrast, is not universally regulated, though voluntary certifications from bodies like the International Coaching Federation (ICF) set professional standards. While therapy ensures oversight for mental health challenges, coaching offers flexibility and relies on clients to evaluate a coach’s credentials and fit. Coaching and therapy can sometimes overlap in methods and insights but have distinct purposes. On the balance, coaching is generally more forward-looking and action-oriented. However, I believe it must also involve exploring past experiences, uncovering patterns, and working on deeper healing when these elements intricately influence current behavioral patterns and goals.

Honestly, I don’t think of it in these terms. My training is in a field called ontological coaching, which is rooted in the study of being—the essence of who we are. The word ontology comes from hentes (to be) + logos (to study). To me, coaching is a noble, honest exploration of the human spirit, and placing it into narrow labels like “life” or “executive” can feel limiting. Sometimes “life” means work, and sometimes thriving at work means tending to life. If anything, this is holistic coaching—focused on the whole being and what truly matters to you. The main distinction lies in the structure of sessions. We conclude every coaching session concludes with an actionable commitment, ensuring that the process consistently drives forward momentum. Therapy, on the other hand, often emphasizes deeper emotional exploration and healing without the same focus on immediate, action-driven outcomes. Ultimately, this is not an “OR” thing. Both processes are transformative under the right conditions.
