FAQ

How can a Self-Discovery and Connection Coach help me?

As a Self-Discovery and Connection coach, I will go with you on an introspective journey, with you in the driver’s seat and at the right moment bring something you might not have seen previously to your awareness, which in turn facilitates the process of self-discovery within you.⁠ 

My tailored 1:1 coaching sessions are aimed at creating a safe space for you to discuss and break through any obstacles holding you back from achieving your self-discovery goals. I will also target your unique skills and gifts and formulate a personalised plan to reach your self-discovery goals.

Can't I just do this by myself?

Honestly, you could very well just figure out everything on your own. Especially considering the main premise of life coaching is that it helps you unlock the answers that are already within yourself.

Although what usually happens is that we end up overwhelmed, riddled with self-doubt on how to move forward our self-worth takes a beating and we find ourselves repeatedly stuck in the same cycles months and sometimes even years from the time we first decided we needed help.

So instead of living a life on our terms filled with deep and meaningful connections, we choose to stay stuck in unidentified negative patterns and have almost no awareness of why we keep ending up right where we started.

This leads to us being stuck playing out the same patterns and cycles which over time leads to an unfulfilled and painful life filled with regret.

And all the dreams, incredible potential and goals we have within us go unanswered.

An experienced coach can see all your amazing potential even when you can’t and gently help you understand what’s holding you back and guide you back to YOU.

1:1 coaching sessions with me ensure you really understand the lessons life is showing you faster, with less struggle and more clarity while holding you accountable for making the necessary changes, which adds jet fuel to your self-discovery journey.

What is the difference between Coaching and Therapy?

Therapy focuses on overcoming past trauma, mental health issues and emotional healing which helps you function better in the present. Coaching on the other hand focuses on setting and achieving future goals. Through asking deep thought-provoking questions I help you break down your goals into smaller and more attainable steps and together we create a roadmap to the goals you desire.

What form of ethics do you hold yourself to as a coach?

I hold myself accountable to the Global Code of Ethics.

The Global Code of Ethics (the Code) is the most comprehensive code of ethics for those working in the world of coaching, mentoring, and supervision. The first version of the Code jointly created by the Association for Coaching (AC) and the European Mentoring & Coaching Council (EMCC) was launched in February 2016.

The newly launched 2nd version of the Code (1 May 2018) now brings together the collective inputs and contributions of five coaching and mentoring membership bodies who have all signed up to the spirit and the collectively shared aspiration for excellence which is expressed in this single unified Code. This Global Code of Ethics will now frame and guide the practice of the members of the five signatory bodies, be they located around the world from Australia, through Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe to the Americas. The Code is truly global in its reach and applicability and to this end we are continuously enriching our library with new translations in different languages. You can access the translations currently available to download here or you can download the English version directly here.

As membership bodies, we are committed to maintaining and promoting excellent practice in coaching, mentoring, and supervision, a field that is becoming increasingly professionalised. All our members in their roles as coaches, mentors, supervisors, trainers and/or students) as part of their continuing membership, agree to embrace and respect this Code of Ethics, and adhere to elements and principles of this Code of Ethics, within the signatories’ specific governance and the wider context of practice.

Please visit the Global Code of Ethics website: https://www.globalcodeofethics.org to learn more and download the summary and full PDF here.

What if I'd like to have a call with you before I sign up?

We provide a complimentary 20-minute connection call for clients that are interested in working together but have a few more questions and just want to make sure we’re a good fit beforehand. To see if you qualify for a complimentary connection call please fill in the client intake form at the bottom of this page and we will get back to you within 48 hours and let you know if you qualify for a connection call.

What can I expect after I've signed up for a package?

Once you’ve chosen and paid for your package I will be in touch by email within 48 hours with your welcome kit. This will include a contract that would need to be signed, along with a client intake form which would need to filled out before our sessions begin so we can make the most of our 90-minute deep dive session. A calendar link will also be provided for you to book your sessions along with your unique zoom link for all our sessions together.

Where will the calls take place?

All calls will take place virtually over Zoom. All sessions will be recorded, without video if preferred and shared with you after the session for further personal reflection. 

How does email support between sessions work?

It is common to have breakthroughs after the session is complete. Email support between sessions gives you the space to share any wins you have or obstacles you might face so we can create more momentum as we work towards your goals during our 1:1 sessions. Email support takes place during the business hours of 10 am – 3 pm EDT, Monday to Friday.

How long are the sessions valid for?

All sessions are valid for six months from the date of purchase although it is recommended to book your sessions once a week for the length of the package you’ve chosen to be able to see significant changes and get into the momentum of stacking habits to accelerate your self-discovery journey. 

What happens if I need to reschedule a session or forget to show up?

Your appointments are very important to Marianne D’sa Coaching.  They are reserved especially for you. We understand that sometimes schedule adjustments are necessary.  Therefore, we respectfully request at least 24-hour notice for cancellations or rescheduling of appointments. We will attempt in good faith to reschedule the missed meeting.

Please understand that when you forget, cancel, or change your appointment without giving enough notice, we miss the opportunity to fill that appointment time, and potential clients miss the opportunity to receive our coaching services.

Any appointment where the client show’s up over 10 minutes late, doesn’t show up, cancels, or changes without 24-hour notice will result in a charge equal to 100% of the reserved service amount.
