“A Neuro Coach integrates neuroscience breakthroughs into coaching by applying it in a way ordinary clients can actually use it. “ – International Coaching Federation.

No and yes. Although there is some overlap, therapy is used mainly to analyse your clients PAST as a tool for understanding PRESENT behaviours, whereas coaching focus’ more on visioning, success, the PRESENT and moving towards the FUTURE.

If you want a change of some sort – whether it is changing or creating a habit or behaviour AND you are ready to take steps to achieve it, then you will benefit from having a coach. If you are looking for somewhere to simply vent about your past or your circumstances then you will likely waste your money on a coach.

The following are some points to bear in mind when selecting a coach:

1) Speak informally with your prospective coach first and see if you feel comfortable with them. For coaching to be effective it is important to feel that your coach is capable of completely listening to you, without judgment. Tyrone Farquhar offers a 30 min free preliminary session phone call – use this to help you make your decision.

2) Try out a few coaches before you decide who you’d enjoy working with. Try find a coach that is preferably an expert in the specific field you need help with. Ask about qualifications. Coaching is about helping you achieve your potential and exploring what works best for you is part of that process. When you find someone that works well for you, stick with them.

Yes, it is very effective online, the outcomes of recovery are the same for both online and in-person clients.

It depends on where you are, where you want to go, and how quickly you want to get there. Some clients are able to achieve their goals in as little as one to three months. Most often, clients stay with a coach anywhere from six to eighteen months. After clients achieve their first goals, they often identify other areas they want to work on. The coaching relationship continues as long as there is benefit to the client.

It is important to remember that many coaching techniques and processes will be learnt and you will be able to practice it on your own. As counter-intuitive as it may sound, a good coach’s goal should be to reduce your dependency on them as soon as possible – that shows you’re becoming more resourceful and that you’re learning to more effectively deal with new situations as they arise.

I offer the client the choice to attend their session in person or Via Zoom or any other well-suited online platform. Sessions are a standard 50 minutes. My coaching style uses a structured process in line with neuroscientific research; applying the principles of neuroplasticity to intentionally rewire the anxious brain, while ensuring flexibility to allow it to be customised to the needs of the client in a 100% judgement free zone.

The point of each session is to make you more resourceful so that the client will be fully equipped to move forward independently.

Professionally trained, certified coaches charge fees in line with other highly trained professionals. Fees vary from coach to coach, and are based on a variety of factors. I charge on a package basis. Our fee arrangement is worked out once we’ve had a complimentary strategy session and I have a better understanding of your current situation and goals. Payment can be made by either, EFT or PayPal.

It depends. When the family is very involved in the clients recovery or when the sufferer doesn’t have much drive I then prefer that at least one parent be present for a few of the key sessions. The type of support from loved ones of anxious/OCD sufferers is very important for recovery too.

WHERE ARE YOUR CLIENTS BASED?

My clients are based anywhere in the world, I have clients in the USA, England, India, Australia, Europe, Dubai and South Africa. Most remote sessions are conducted over ZOOM. Please note that due to the nature of the anxiety recovery process, I need a commitment to at least 4 sessions.
