One of the most common questions I get is: "How long will it take to see a difference?"
People often worry about getting stuck in ‘forever coaching’ with no clear exit strategy.
My approach is different. I focus on high-impact, structured transformation.
How many sessions will I actually need to see results?
I work with a minimum commitment of 5 sessions. Why five? Because your brain needs time to ‘overwrite’ old habits and beliefs. Based on the principle of Neuroplasticity, we need to move through three distinct phases:
The Diagnostic Phase: Identifying the ‘bugs’ in your subconscious software.
The Rewiring Phase: Using powerful coaching and NLP techniques to break old neural loops.
The Integration Phase: Testing your new ‘programmes’ in the real world to ensure they stick.
Can I do more than 5 sessions?
Yes. While 5 sessions are the minimum to create a solid foundation, many clients choose to move into ‘Performance Maintenance’ coaching afterwards. Once the initial blocks are cleared, we often work together on a monthly or bi-monthly basis to stay ahead of new challenges and keep the engine performing at its peak.
I can't afford one-to-one sessions at the moment – do you offer any other options?
I believe that high-quality mindset tools should be accessible to everyone, regardless of where they are in their journey. If a bespoke 1-to-1 package isn’t feasible for you right now, I offer the Whitaker Mindset Coaching Hub.
The Hub is an online platform designed to give you the tools for change at a more accessible price point. It includes:
Fortnightly Group Coaching: Every two weeks, we meet via Zoom for a group mindset session. We tackle common high-performance hurdles like imposter syndrome, self-sabotage, stress, and procrastination.
Monthly Live Workshops: Focusing on important topics related to positively shifting your mindset.
On-Demand Resources: Access to a library of workshops and courses designed to help you work on your mindset at your own pace.
Downloadable Soundtracks: Focusing on breathing techniques, mindfulness and mindset-change, designed to lower cortisol and improve sleep: the two pillars of mental clarity.
While group sessions aren't bespoke to your specific situation, they are a powerful and affordable way to start the rewiring process.

Is this covered by my insurance or workplace?
Mindset coaching is a professional development investment. While standard health insurance usually doesn't cover it, many of my clients have their sessions funded by their employer or business.
If you are a business owner, these sessions are often a tax-deductible expense. If you are an employee, I can provide a professional receipt for you to submit to HR for Professional Development or Leadership Training budgets.
Can I get a refund if Mindset Coaching doesn't work for me?
No. Because coaching is a partnership, the results depend on our combined effort. For this reason, I do not offer refunds.
This is exactly why I offer a Free Mindset Strategy Session first. We don't start the 5-session package until we are both 100% certain that we are the right match and we’re ready to get started.
Can I pay for sessions in cash?
No. For professional record-keeping and efficiency, I do not accept cash payments. I work exclusively via Bank Transfer or Card Payment. Settlement for the 5-session package is due in full prior to our first official coaching session. This ensures that when we meet, our focus is entirely on your mindset and your progress, rather than on administrative tasks.
