FAQs

How do I know if Philosophical & Transformational Coaching is right for me?

Probably the best way to find out is through conversation.

If you’re curious to explore whether this work resonates with you, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute clarity call.

What if I don’t know exactly what I need?

You don’t need to be certain. You’re not supposed to have it all figured out.

Actually, that’s a beautiful place to start from. Many people arrive with a sense of longing, unease, or inner tension — but without a clear agenda. No matter what, we begin with what’s present. The path becomes clear as we discover and walk it.

Is what I share confidential?

Yes.

Everything you share is treated with utmost care, confidentiality, and in adherence to professional coaching standards. Visit my Privacy Policy to learn more — and if you still have questions about privacy or boundaries, let’s connect and talk openly.

Do I need a background in philosophy?

Not at all. No reading lists. No jargon.

Just a willingness to reflect and be honest with yourself. If you’re open and curious, you’re already prepared.

Is this life coaching?

Not quite.

Life coaching often focuses on setting goals, making action plans, and achieving instant results. My approach shares some qualities with life coaching but goes deeper. It’s not about quick fixes, surface-level strategies, or simply changing behaviors.

Philosophical & Transformational Coaching invites you into a process of deep inner inquiry and honest reflection, thereby exploring the questions, tensions, and truths that shape(d) your life. This inner transformation is the foundation. From there, change naturally ripples outward — shaping your choices, relationships, and how you engage with the world.

Is this spiritual?

It can be.

Especially if your questions touch on meaning, truth, purpose, or something greater in general.

How is this different from therapy?

In every way.

In coaching, there’s no diagnosis, no treatment plan, and no clinical lens. Instead, we engage in reflective, forward-facing conversations that help you live more fully, truthfully, and freely.

Can I combine this with therapy?

Absolutely.

What happens in a session?

Each coaching session is a co-created conversation. We follow what feels alive: questions, tensions, insights, longings. There’s no script, no performance, and no “just talking” — it’s active, embodied inquiry.

A session is a space where new awareness emerges, old patterns soften, and inner clarity leads to outer change.
It’s work that can be subtle — or evocative.

How long are sessions?

Coaching sessions are 60 or 90 minutes, depending on the service you book.

We hold the space gently and don’t rush. Some sessions may end naturally a few minutes early — others may take the full time, and some threads may continue to unfold across multiple sessions.

Where do sessions take place?

Coaching sessions are held online via Microsoft Teams.

You’ll receive a private link before each session — no software required beyond internet access and a browser.

How do I book a session?

You can book coaching sessions directly via The Socratic Lens booking portal.

There, you can choose a or multiple time slot(s) that work for you and complete the payment. You’ll receive confirmation with all the necessary details via email. It’s simple, secure, and designed to let you focus on the work itself.

What’s your cancellation/rescheduling policy?

Sessions may be canceled or rescheduled up to 48 hours in advance. The following policy details honor both our time and the integrity of our space:

  • Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the session will not be refunded, but rescheduling is still possible.
  • Rescheduling less than 24 hours before the session is not permitted. If you do not attend, your appointment will be considered a no-show, and the full session fee will be forfeited.
  • No-show: Failure to attend the session without prior cancellation or rescheduling will result in forfeiture of the full session fee.
Do you offer packages?

Currently, I do not offer fixed coaching packages.

This is because I believe in a flexible, client-driven approach that honors your unique journey. Coaching is not a one-size-fits-all process — each path unfolds differently, and I aim to create a low-barrier, welcoming space where you feel free to book sessions based on your evolving needs, rather than being tied to a predetermined structure.

That said, deep transformation tends to unfold over time and is most powerful in an ongoing setting — allowing us to build trust, deepen the inquiry, and stick with the process as it evolves.

What are your rates?

My current coaching offers range from $150 to $225 per session, depending on the type.

You’ll find a full breakdown of all services on the Work With Me page. All prices are listed in USD.

What payment methods do you accept?

I accept secure card payments via Stripe and also offer PayPal.

All payments are processed in USD. If you’re booking from outside the U.S., your payment will be automatically converted to USD by your bank, credit card provider, or payment platform. You may see a currency conversion fee, depending on your provider. You’ll receive an invoice along with your booking confirmation.
