Coaching psychology is a professional field that applies psychological theory and evidence-based practice to enhance personal and professional development. It focuses on helping individuals unlock their potential, improve performance, and achieve meaningful goals through structured, supportive conversations.

Coaching psychology is a separate helping profession to therapy, however there are some similarities. Both coaching and talking therapies hold a space for individuals to discuss their worries, problems, relationships and aspirations. However, unlike therapy, which may look into the past to make sense of how a person has arrived at their current feelings and to work through healing the hurt and pain, coaching meets the individual in the here and now and focuses on desirable outcomes for the future.

For children and young people, coaching enables them to build the resilience and problem-solving skills to face everyday challenges, as well as big life changes, to fully understand the situation they find themselves in, and to empower them to take control of their situation and shape their experience into what they want it to be.

For adults, coaching can be a really helpful space in which to untangle some of the everyday issues or bigger life challenges that might be impacting personal wellbeing or having knock on effects on family dynamics.

Coaching sessions are usually conducted via Zoom.

The first part of the session will be a review. If this is the first session, we will discuss your situation and scope out the context for your coaching. If this is a follow-on session, we will discuss what was covered in the previous session and identify anything that has arisen in the interim.

We will then work out your goals for the current session before spending the bulk of the time working towards these goals.

At the end of the session, we will recap what has been covered and create a practicable action plan for you. There may be some tasks for you to engage in between sessions in order to implement the plan but that will be entirely down to how much or little you wish to do.

The coach will work in a collaborative partnership with you and/or your child, guiding you through your own process of skills acquisition, mindset crafting and self-discovery so you are equipped to handle the change and to transition successfully, both during and after your transition.

Please join us for your free 30-minute Discovery Session to get to know the Pegasus Coaching approach. We will then help you to choose the right package for you. 

We offer the following coaching packages:

• Standard package: Agreed number of 60-minute 1:1 coaching sessions to suit your needs
• Momentum package: 6 x 60-minute 1:1 coaching sessions over 3 months, plus between-session support
• Deep Dive package: 12 x 60-minute 1:1 sessions over 6 months, plus between-session support
• Group package: 4 x 60-minute group sessions within 3 months

Most people find that the Standard package of an agreed bundle of single sessions (usually around 6 sessions) is adequate for the boost they need to handle the challenges arising in their current life transition.

Some people opt for the Momentum package as it is a great way to keep the accountability going before, during and after a transition to ensure you and your family have the best outcomes.

The Deep Dive package is best suited for those aspiring for longer-term personal growth within the context of one major life transition (e.g. separation, overseas relocation or significant career change) or for those juggling multiple simultaneous transitions. 

The Momentum ad Deep-Dive packages are flexible so you can book your hours in session lengths of 45, 60 or 90 minutes to suit you.

Additional Support:

The Momentum and Deep Dive packages come with additional between-sessions assignments and activities to promote successful transition. Furthermore, these packages include direct email support from Kitty throughout the duration of your 3-month or 6-month package.

For more information and pricing of Pegasus Coaching packages, please book your Discovery Session so we can get to know each other and talk through all the details.

Yes, coaching sessions for adults and children are confidential, unless any safeguarding concerns are disclosed. 

That said, children often give us permission to discuss details of our coaching sessions with their parents/carers, which strengthens the three-way partnership between the coach, the child and their parents/carers, leading to more successful outcomes.

Most coaching sessions are conducted via Zoom. In-person coaching sessions can be arranged on a case-by-case basis, depending on geographical viability. 

(Please note in-person sessions may incur an additional travel charge.)

This will depend upon you and/or your child as every individual responds differently. 

Sometimes a single session is sufficient to unlock a smaller issue or to help with specific decision-making. Usually, 4-6 single sessions in the Standard package is sufficient for most people, however those with longer-term goals may find the Momentum or Deep Dive packages better meet their needs.

Of course. This takes a slightly different format to the individual packages whereby the first two sessions of the 4 session package will be separate sessions; one with your child and one with you.

This gives us an opportunity to work through the issues that relate to each individual. The remaining two session are joint sessions where common goals will be worked on together.

Coaching is a great option for those with additional needs. Whether the additional needs arise from family circumstances, disability, health or medical concerns, neurodivergence, English being an additional language or cultural differences, coaching offers a safe space to work on social, emotional, cognitive and behavioural skills that will enhance resilience and facilitate positive growth. 

(Please note that coaching is not a replacement for appropriate medical care, physical or psychological therapies or language tuition, however it can be an effective modality alongside such support.)
