Who is Oddbirdity Coaching for?

Yes! While both practices can build space for personal growth, therapy often focuses on healing and processing past events and trauma. Coaching, on the other hand, is future-focused and aimed at current or anticipated challenges to move forward, rather than stay stuck in the past.

Coaching is not a substitute for therapy or other mental health treatment, but coaching and therapy can complement each other well. At Oddbirdity, we will always let clients know if a different practice may be better suited for their needs.

Coaching can benefit anyone, but it is particularly helpful if someone is feeling stuck, navigating a life change, seeking clarity on a recent challenge, or wanting to better understand themselves and what they truly want.

You don’t have to know everything or have it all figured out—that’s what the coaching process is for!

Coaching conversations are client-centered and goal-focused. Each session will begin with agreeing on what the goal of the current session is. This may be a goal unique to just this session, or more largely tied to the coaching relationship as a whole. As always, you are never expected to exactly “know” what your goal is—part of the coaching process is bringing clarity to what we truly want!

Once a goal is set, we will move through powerful questions, reflections and exercises that are tailored to help you move towards your goal. As always, the client is at the center of the process, allowing you to hold the steering wheel for where you’d like the conversation to go.

Every coaching session ends with a thoughtful reflection on our progress toward the stated goal, creating a conclusion to the current interaction and setting the stage for post-session learning.

Nope! While I will absolutely share my observations, ask challenging questions, and offer tools when appropriate, my role is not to direct your life. Rather, my role as a coach is to help you make your own decisions that are aligned with your values and goals.

After completing your first, free Discovery Call and deciding that Oddbirdity coaching is the best fit for you, you will be sent a link to purchase your package and schedule your first session at your convenience. Coaching sessions are only available on weekdays, but there is some flexibility on time of day if needed.

All coaching sessions are one-hour long and held virtually via Google Meet, so you can receive coaching wherever you are! Cameras can be on or off based on client-request.

The cadence of coaching sessions depends entirely on client needs. I recommend 2-3 weeks between sessions, but anything between 1 week and 1 month between sessions is typically appropriate.

Then you are in just the right place. Coaching isn’t just about getting where we want to be—it is also about figuring out what that even is in the first place!

Uncertainty is part of the process, and I will be here to walk with you through it.

These are the same questions that spin in my own mind when I am taking a new, courageous step. I feel you!

Over time, I have seen that if our mind is worrying over these questions, coaching can be an excellent next step to overcome self-doubt and step into self-confidence exactly as you are.

Let me reassure with this: you are expected to bring nothing or be nothing more than who you truly are in our coaching relationship. It would be an honor to see and know you for exactly the unique individual that you are.

There is no “too much” or “not enough” here, or right versus wrong answers. We accept, respect, and celebrate you exactly as you are.

Then, you’re in good company.

Around here, being an odd bird isn’t something to hide or fix. It’s instead the beginning of finding and using your unique strengths. My hope is not to help you become more like “everyone else.” It’s to help you fully embrace your own oddbirdity so that you can understand yourself, find your flock, and confidently fly your own path.
