Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Coaching take?
This will depend on the coaching topic and clients’ needs as. My goal is that we are able to achieve results that matter and last. Sessions are generally 50 minutes long.
How Coaching sessions done?
Coaching is provided through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth service. Coaching sessions are specifically designed to work well in the virtual environment, for your convenience. As long as you find a private place with a good internet connection to attend your coaching sessions, you can do coaching anywhere.
How much does Coaching cost?
The initial discovery sessions is free of charge. The overall cost will depend on the results the client desires help in achieving, as well as, the time frame. Please keep in mind Coaching cannot be paid for through insurance.
What is Coaching?
Put simply, coaching is a process that aims to improve performance and focuses on the ‘here and now’ rather than on the distant past or future. … In coaching, fundamentally, the coach is helping the individual to improve their own performance: in other words, helping you to learn to advance to your goal.
There is some confusion out there about what “coaching” is.
That’s because there is no group that oversees the training and practice of coaching yet. And THAT makes it hard to know who to trust and what you should be getting for your investment.
By Coaching with Dr.Atif we work together to development skills, uncover opportunities, discuss goal-oriented behavioral strategies, and help tailoring more skills to your specific situation.
Each session is topic-specific so we can work empirically and build on cognitive-behavioral principles and motivational techniques.
What Coaching Isn’t
Coaching is not therapy.
Traditionally psychotherapy is a form of treatment aimed at relieving emotional distress and mental health problems. Provided by any of a variety of trained professionals—psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, or licensed counselors—it involves examining and gaining insight into life choices and difficulties faced by individuals, couples, or families. Therapy sessions refer to structured meetings between a provider and a client that may address several issues at once, have evolving goals, emphasize the develop of the helping relationship, and involve several types of personalized treatment strategies.
While some of the techniques in coaching may be part of psychotherapy, therapy covers a much broader territory and is more involved and complex.
What Areas Do You Asist In?
After personally undergoing a transformation of losing 50 pounds. I can genuinely understand the struggles that go with losing weight. As your wellness coach I help you focus on your well being from a nutrition and physical fitness perspective.
As a wellness coach we can together work on your with weight loss goals, improving well being through mental, physical fitness, energy work and the like.
Normally as wellness coach we work on system or process that will be adapting as we progress to the target goals.
As a wellness I helps you to stay on track, be accountable, and will produce faster results than working alone.
Not all wellness coaches have the ability to work with emotional wellness, an important part of your overall wellbeing.
With my background medicine and clinical experience I am trained to work with the emotional blocks & mental programs that are holding you back from achieving your goals.
Given the rapid pace of change in our world today, We can easily become overwhelmed by endless lists of competing priorities. Stress Management Coaching helps you evaluate your life across several domains (i.e., work, home, emotional, and physical well-being) together we work to develop positive strategies and solutions to overcome these challenges.
Performance Coaching with Dr.Atif
Normally performance coaching refers to athletic performance though it doesn’t have to be just about sports.
Performance coaching can also be about your own peak performance in any area of your life. Normally a person will choose a performance coach that has a background in the skill they wish to master.
A tri-athlete will normally hire a tri-athlete performance coach. A speaker will normally hire a performance coach who is already a really good speaker.
A business coach will normally hire a coach that has run multiple successful businesses. All Performance Coaches aren’t the same. Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean you have the ability to teach someone else how to do it. Some performance coaches can’t modify their skill set to suit others and what others are good at.
The key driver in my success with performance coaching is my skill to find solutions when the challenge and limitations arise. Not every case is nice and neat and not every case has “only two options.”
My ability to work within a framework of cans and cannot is where my skills, my patients and clients have the most constructive results.
Life Coaching with Dr.Atif
As your life coach we can focus in on exactly that, its for your WHOLE life. It’s not just about work, it’s not just about your relationships, it’s not just about your finances.
Life coaching is about YOU – all of YOU. Normally people will turn to a life coach when they are having issues with things such as Anxiety, Depression, or Traumas.
People also turn to a Life Coach during a divorce/marital problems, challenging people at work, or an inability to commit to relationships.
Life coaching can cover anything from addiction to sales performance and everything in between.
A good life coach will work with the whole of you and whatever issues you have.
Life coaching isn’t just about solving problems though. You can also work with a like coach to get really good at something.
This could be presentation skills, business skills, or just personal well-being. Again, not all Life Coaches have the skills to coach a person through anything and everything.
After working with a wide range of backgrounds and coming up with action plans. I found that my greatest success with patient have revolved around this core of building and nurturing those in need.
