FAQs
How does TKMC differ from traditional therapy?
At The Kind Mind Collective, coaching is future-focused and goal-oriented, while traditional therapy often focuses on past experiences and healing. Therapy is designed to address deeper emotional wounds and mental health diagnoses; coaching offers a more proactive approach to personal growth. Coaching helps you develop new strategies, mindset shifts, and practical tools to create positive life changes. It is collaborative and empowering, allowing you to connect with your strengths and align your actions with your values and goals.
Who can benefit from coaching?
Coaching can benefit anyone who is looking to make meaningful changes in their life, whether that's in relationships, career, personal growth, or wellness. Ideal clients are ready to take proactive steps toward achieving their goals, healing, and growing in a supportive, guided way. Coaching can provide the tools and support you need to thrive if you're feeling stuck, facing a life transition, struggling with motivation, or wanting to cultivate a more aligned and intentional life.
How can I determine which package is best for me?
Your Goals: Are you looking to work on a specific issue (e.g., relationships, career transitions, emotional weight release), or are you seeking more general guidance and growth?
Duration of Support: Do you prefer short-term guidance with clear outcomes, or are you seeking longer-term work?
Your Preference for Tools: Are you drawn to specific tools or techniques like Brainspotting, mindfulness, or somatic work? Each package includes different combinations of these techniques, so choosing based on what resonates most with you will help.
Flexibility: If you’re unsure, I offer customizable packages that allow you to blend various approaches and tools. This gives you the flexibility to adjust as your needs evolve.
If you’re still unsure, we can schedule a discovery call to discuss your needs and explore which option aligns best with your goals.
Why can’t I find you on social media?
At The Kind Mind Collective, I’ve consciously chosen to step away from social media for my mental health and wellness. While many businesses use social media to engage with their audience, I find that being present more intentionally and focused with my clients is most aligned with my values. This decision allows me to maintain a sense of balance and peace in my life, supporting the quality of care I provide. If you’d like to stay connected or learn more, I invite you to reach out directly via my website or email.
What is trauma-informed coaching?
Trauma-informed coaching is an approach that recognizes the impact trauma can have on your life and incorporates sensitivity to these experiences. It involves creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their challenges, emotions, and goals without feeling judged or overwhelmed. This approach prioritizes trust, empowerment, and a deep understanding of how trauma affects the nervous system, helping clients heal and grow in a nurturing and safe way.
What can I expect from a coaching session with you?
A typical coaching session with me is a safe, supportive space where we focus on your current challenges, goals, and personal growth. We’ll explore your thoughts and emotions with a compassionate, non-judgmental approach. Depending on your needs, I might guide you through mindfulness exercises, nervous system regulation techniques, or Brainspotting to deepen our work. You can expect a blend of reflective listening, practical tools, and actionable strategies, leaving each session feeling empowered and more aligned with your goals.
