Getting Started

First Session Expectations

Your first session is intended to establish coaching goals, communication preferences, boundaries, expectations, overall coaching fit, and areas of focus moving forward.

What the First Session Is Like

The first session is usually conversational and exploratory. You do not need to prepare anything formal, though you are welcome to bring notes, questions, or specific topics you want to discuss.

What We May Discuss

We may discuss what brought you to coaching, what you hope to change, what patterns feel difficult, what support has or has not helped before, and what would make coaching useful for you.

Virtual Session Preparation

Please try to use a quiet and private space when possible. Test your audio and video beforehand, and join a few minutes early if you can.

Recording & Transcription

If recording or transcription tools are used through Upheal or a related platform, they will be used according to the consent materials reviewed during intake.

Important Scope Reminder

Thorns2Roses Coaching provides coaching services only. Coaching is not therapy, psychiatric care, medical treatment, legal advice, or crisis intervention.
