Who is coaching for?

Life coaching is a personal journey we embark on together, designed to empower you to achieve your unique goals. With my guidance, encouragement, and accountability, we’ll work to clarify your vision and create actionable plans tailored to you. Together, we’ll tackle any obstacles that arise, helping you unlock your full potential and live the life you truly desire.

Are virtual and in-person sessions available?

Available primarily online and by phone. In-person sessions are not available for the free initial consultation or first session.

How do I continue receiving coaching services? How often do we meet?

The second step is to complete the Coaching Agreement (if you haven't already). After you've gotten approval in the FREE Initial Consultation and completed your Coaching Agreement form, you are free to schedule your first coaching session! 

Clients have different preferences for scheduling their sessions. Some choose to book their next appointment at the end of each session, while others schedule as their availability allows.

Some clients prefer regular meetings (weekly or bi-weekly), while others opt to space out their sessions based on their evolving needs.

Clients typically start with an average of 3-5 sessions, but there are no requirements or expectations.

You have the flexibility to choose the number of sessions that best meet your needs.

What client needs are NOT a fit for DrBernieCoach.com?

1. Mental Health Disorders – Coaching is NOT a replacement for therapy. Conditions such as severe depression, anxiety, or trauma that require clinical intervention from a licensed therapist or psychiatrist.

2. Substance Abuse, Addiction – Issues requiring specialized treatment or recovery programs.

3. Severe Emotional Distress – Ongoing, severe emotional crises, grief, or trauma that need therapeutic support.

4. Lack of Self-Motivation – Coaching works best when the client is motivated to take action. A lack of willingness to engage in self-directed change can hinder progress, however, clients with low motivation and willingness may be a fit.

5. Medical Conditions Affecting Behavior – Medical issues that may influence behavior, such as brain injuries or neurological conditions, which may require medical or therapeutic intervention.

6. Legal or Financial Counseling Needs – Situations involving legal advice, financial planning, or business consulting beyond the scope of coaching expertise.

7. At-risk or crisis needs – Suicidality, homicidality and/or self-harm behavior that places the client at-risk.

How do I terminate services?

I understand that circumstances can change, and you may decide to end coaching services at any time. If you feel you’ve achieved your goals or that coaching is no longer the right fit, you’re welcome to conclude our work together at any time.

To terminate coaching, simply notify me by email or during a session. I’ll review your progress, discuss any remaining concerns, and ensure you feel confident moving forward. There are no long-term commitments or cancellation fees—you’re in control of your coaching journey from start to finish.

I’m committed to making this process seamless and respectful of your needs.

Are results guaranteed?

While I am committed to providing you with the tools, support, and guidance necessary for your personal growth, results cannot be guaranteed. Each individual’s journey is unique, and success depends on various factors, including your level of commitment, openness to change, and active participation in the coaching process.

Coaching is a collaborative effort, and the progress you make is influenced by your willingness to engage with the process.

Together, we will set goals and create a personalized plan to help you achieve your desired outcomes. Your journey is yours to shape, and I’m here to support you every step of the way!
