What is coaching and mentoring? What are the differences?
Coaching is a collaborative process where a professional coach works with clients, by empowering them to clarify their goals, assess their reality, overcome obstacles, and maximize their potential to create positive changes in their lives.
Coaching sessions are usually focused, goal-oriented, and forward-thinking. The coach may use various tools, techniques, and exercises to facilitate the client's self-discovery, learning, and development.
Mentoring is a supportive relationship where a mentor shares their experience, knowledge, and advice to guide your professional growth. While coaching focuses on helping you find your own solutions, mentoring provides more practical tools and direction based on the mentor’s expertise.
Both coaching and mentoring relationship is built on trust, confidentiality, and mutual respect, with the coach or mentor serving as a supportive partner in the client's journey towards growth and success.
What to expect from a coaching session?
A coaching session typically involves a one-on-one meeting between the coach and the client, either in person, over the phone, or through video conferencing.
The session is structured around the client's goals and objectives, and the coach guides the conversation to help the client gain clarity, insights, and develop action plans to achieve their desired outcomes.
During a coaching session, the coach asks questions to help the client explore their thoughts, feelings, and perspectives on a particular topic or challenge.
The coach listens actively, provides feedback if requested, offers support, and helps the client identify their strengths and areas for growth.
Are you certified by the ICF (International Coaching Federation)?
Yes, I hold a Professional Diploma in Coaching and Mentoring that aligns with ICF standards. The ICF is a globally recognised organization that sets the gold standard for professional coaching. Its certifications ensure adherence to ethical practices, high-quality coaching methodologies, and ongoing professional development.
How long does a coaching or mentoring commitment last?
The duration depends on your goals. I offer flexible packages, including one-time sessions for immediate clarity, short-term commitments (3 sessions), and comprehensive programs (8+ sessions) for long-term growth and transformation.
My One-To-One coaching and mentoring sessions are designed to help my clients gain clarity about their career aspirations, set meaningful career goals, and create realistic action plans to achieve them. Through in-depth discussions and questioning, I will support you in identifing your unique strengths, values, and interests, and enabling you to make informed decisions about your career path. Likewise, I will assist you in creating your own action plan aimed to reach your goals.What's included?
My commitment to my clients includes extra time before and after sessions. Prior to sessions, I invest quality time in preparing myself by reviewing notes and tools used in previous coaching sessions. This allows me to offer personalised guidance and support during the current session. Likewise, after each session, I record key action points discussed, which can be shared with clients upon request. This post-session documentation serves as a valuable resource for clients to track their progress and stay focused on their objectives.As coach, your success is my objective, and I strive to deliver a high standard of service that empowers you to achieve your goals.AVAILABLE PACKAGESPOWER HOUR - One coaching session of 60 mins - £150

Ejona M.I had fantastic sessions with Mirella, who is excellent and clearly very experienced. Her career coaching has given me a clearer idea of my strengths, values and future goals. I have been able to represent my skills in a different way, to enable a change of focus in my career ambition going forward. I very much appreciated her structured approach to career coaching, yet adapted to my needs. Thank you!

Máximo C.Mirella ha una genuina voglia di aiutare e questa è la qualità più grande che un coach possa avere.

Vesna M.Mirella es una gran profesional y apasionada del coaching, a traves del cual me ha ayudado muchisimo en mi progreso laboral. Es una persona muy empatica, asertiva, paciente y sabe guiarte con preguntas estrategicas para tomar consciencia de tu realidad y situacion. Me ha ayudado especialmente en mi motivacion y estrategias emocionales para alcanzar los objetivos que me habia propuesto y que no sabia como alcanzar.
Cristina V.Being a beginner in the corporate world, I did not know much about the way things work. We worked on a project where Mirella managed the project. I got to learn alot from her and knew that I could go to her for any doubt or help that I needed. The counselling that I didn't know I needed has helped me alot in getting my job done and made my tasks easier.
Dewal K.I didn't realise my full potential until I decided to go through the coaching sessions with Mirella. I benefited from these sessions thanks to her ability in pointing me to the right direction, making me thinking outside of the box. This enabled me to fully understand and assess my situation, the instruments in my possession to improve it, the possible solutions that I could explore and most importantly it gave me that extra pinch of self-confidence that I was missing.
