Where are you located?

I am located at 14 East Piccadilly Street, Suite 105 in Winchester, VA. My office is located inside the Coldwell Bankers Realtors Office. But please make an appointment as my office hours vary. Schedule a FREE Consultation! 

How much are your services?

Life Coaching and Grief Support are currently offered at an introductory rate that will be established at your FREE Consultation based on your needs. My goal is to make sure help is always available for those who need it most. I will work with you to establish something that is affordable for you. (for real, my mentor laughed when I told her what I was charging.) *Scholarships are available for Grief Recovery Method® sessions. 

Do you accept insurance?

Unfortunately, I am unable to accept any insurance. However, all of my coaching and support options are affordable.  My goal is to be a blessing to help the people who need it most. Please don't hesitate to ask what your options are. 

What is The Grief Recovery Method® (GRM) process like?

The GRM is an action-based program that involves reading and writing assignments as outlined in “The Grief Recovery Handbook, the Action Program for Moving Beyond Death, Divorce and Other Losses.”

The GRM is facilitated by a Grief Recovery Specialist, certified by the Grief Recovery Institute. These Specialists, are trained to deliver the GRM, and have experience in working with a variety of types of loss, and people from all walks of life. Each of our Specialists has a deep desire to help grieving people.

How is The Grief Recovery Method® (GRM) different from other grief support programs?

The GRM is a time-limited program – with a set number of sessions, depending on whether one is working the program alone or in a group. If done in the group format, it is not a “drop in” group, meaning that those who participate are there throughout the entire program, to help build the sense of safety and trust.

The GRM is an evidence-based program, having documented statistically significant improvements in grievers’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to grief. 

What is a Life Coach?

The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. In other words, consider a Life Coach to be a friend, an advisor, and a listener, all rolled into one. They’re somebody – a trained professional – who helps a client reach their true potential. And so, a life coach is somebody a person would hire to help them be the best version of themselves, personally and/or professionally – and in best-case scenarios, both.

What happens during a Life Coaching session?

It’s important to remember that no two life coach sessions will be the same. In fact, each session or journey with a life coach is determined by their clients’ individual goals, needs, and requirements. We will meet together to focus on one or more areas of your life that you want to change, enhance, or improve. These areas could be losing weight, making a career change, improving their marriage, or having a better work-life balance.

How Is a Life Coach Different from a Therapist?

Coaching can be therapeutic, but there are some major differences between life coaching and therapy. “A coach looks at your present to help you create the future you desire, while a therapist looks at your past to help you manage your present. So while coaching is action-oriented, therapy is insight-oriented.”

What is a Coaching Engagement?

The Coaching Engagement is the length of time a Coaching Agreement runs, (3 months, 6 months) and it depends on the individual and their needs. Most of my clients choose to start with 6 weeks, so whatever works for you. 

Is it possible to do Life Coaching with you if I'm not local to your area?

Absolutely! If we are not able to meet in person, we would do Google Meet Sessions. I believe they are just as effective and sometimes even more convenient. Schedule a FREE Consultation and we'll work it out!  

Can I talk to you to just see if you can help me at all?

Absolutely! You're more than welcome to schedule a FREE consultation with me so we can chat and determine your needs, and yes, if I can help you at all. Schedule a meeting with me, and we can go from there! 

I don't see my question here...

I tried to think of as many as I could, but if you need more answers, please email me at Charmissa@betterlifecoachingandsupport.com. Please allow 24 -48 for a response.
