How is my coaching delivered?The Total Transformation Programs sessions are 100% online via Zoom. After booking, you will receive a dedicated link. Following each session, you will receive an email recap within 24-48 hours.
-
Is Coaching the same as Therapy?Coaching elements can seem therapeutic; however, coaching focuses on action and goals, while therapy addresses trauma, mental health, and past issues. Coaching helps you identify where you are now, where you want to be, and how to get there. It involves reflection, identifying behavioural discrepancies, and achieving a new perspective. Tony Robbins explains that life coaching is designed to help ambitious achievers meet their goals and find fulfilment in all areas of life.
-
How is the coaching structured in each session?Total Transformation sessions start with discussing the past week’s successes, followed by addressing challenges and developing a positive mindset. Sessions often include experiential exercises and conclude with a recap of insights and aha moments. After each session, you will receive a session recap via email.

Who is the ideal client for Whole Self Coach?At Whole Self Coach, I cater to successful corporate professionals aged 30-60 who lead comfortable lifestyles but struggle with self-confidence and self-esteem. My ideal clients are individuals who: Lifestyle: Live independently as homeowners or private tenants. Enjoy indulging in experiences that bring them joy. Are interested in personal growth but may struggle with motivation and feel intimidated in certain environments. Goals: Are determined to develop a self-confident and self-loving mindset. No longer want to feel second best or not good enough. Aspire to embrace their flaws while making positive changes for the future. Reject societal norms that dictate how they should live their lives. Pain Points: Lack of self-confidence and belief in themselves. Struggle with mental health and seek improvement. Desire lasting change and the ability to fall in love with themselves. Long for empowerment and not feeling second best or unseen. Past Experiences: Have faced bullying, experienced failed relationships, and developed a poor relationship with themselves. Often feel sad, disappointed, and overwhelmed. Lack direction but realise that now is the time for change — a make-or-break moment. How David at Whole Self Coach Meets Their Needs: Whole Self Coach offers a solution to these pain points by helping clients develop and maintain self-confidence, self-belief, and a sense of support. My coaching program empowers them to embrace their authentic selves and establish healthy boundaries with others and themselves. Through the coaching process, clients can improve both their mental and physical well-being, gaining a deep understanding of their own importance and worth. Life Improvements: Engaging with David at Whole Self Coach leads to transformative experiences. Clients develop improved relationships with themselves and others, no longer feeling lost or directionless. The coaching program is life-changing and rewarding, enabling clients to become more confident, happier, and healthier. Ultimately, they feel on top of the world, equipped with a renewed sense of purpose and direction. Thoughts Before Enrolling: Before enrolling in a coaching program with Whole Self Coach, consider the following questions to gauge your readiness and commitment on a scale of 1-10 (1 being not ready and 10 being ready to commit to and take action): How ready am I to make a significant change in my life? How committed am I to investing time and effort into my personal growth? How open am I to receiving support and guidance from a coach? How determined am I to overcome my current challenges and achieve my goals? Reflecting on these questions can help you assess your readiness for the transformative journey ahead. If you score yourself less than an 8 on any of these questions, coaching may not be for you just yet. Clients often feel anticipation and determination when considering any coaching program. But if you are eager to begin and feel it is the right time to make a lasting change in your lives, then investing in yourself is seen as a necessary step towards personal growth and fulfilment. Trigger for Enrollment: The final decision to enrol often comes from the instant connection clients feel with David, the coach at Whole Self Coach. David’s sense of humour and ability to create a safe and non-judgmental space make clients feel understood and supported. For further information and to start your journey towards self-improvement, get in touch with me today. I look forward to supporting you in achieving your goals and becoming the best version of yourself!
