Most Frequently Asked Questions

Coaching with Turning Point Technique will help you to see yourself more clearly, to see others more clearly, to identify your skills, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT), to create life goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART), to become conscious of choices and decisions you are making and to become the author of your own success.

Following the initial 30 minute consultation with Turning Point Technique to identify if Coaching is right for you, sessions usually last a minimum of 1 hour.  Typically sessions involve a review of previous plans and agreements; what went well, what didn't, what can we learn from that. Sessions are unique to the individual, some may be one-to-one conversations in-house, others may require an outside activity, engaging in the world around us. A Coaching session with Turning Point Technique is tailor made for the individual and for the issues arising. 

Cost is determined by the individual package of support. One off sessions are certainly possible but for long term change a number of sessions is likely. Cost per session is in line with other personal development services, ranging between £60 and £100 per hour.

A commitment to be coachable is the biggest requirement for working with Turning Point Technique. This cannot be understated. A willingness to engage in the process and a genuine attitude of openness to change. In terms of time, it can be difficult to state how many sessions a client may need. Each turning point is different, some may require a limited piece of work, maybe 6 sessions, others may involve a longer process of monitoring and management. Each client is unique and so is their package of support.

Mediation involves both parties meeting individually with Turning Point Technique to present your experience of the conflict, and then coming together to meet as a triangle. Roscha will guide you through the process step by step and ensure that the principles of recognition and empowerment are kept at the centre of the mediation. This means everyone's interests will be heard and respect shown to one another as stake holders in the conflict.

 Transformative Mediation can help to resolve conflict in interpersonal relationships, friendships, social groups, small business, or in teams within large organisations. Transformative Mediation with Turning Point Technique is ideal for conflicts where parties are committed to the process of restoration; where parties have lost their way with one another and require an outside source to help them navigate their way back to a workable relationship. 

If this is your first question then good for you! You should always be wary of someone asking you to put your trust in them. Beyond a CV, appropriate insurances, structure of supervision, membership of relevant professional bodies, there is a question of integrity. Qualifications on paper and an impeccable resume do not automatically mean a practitioner has integrity. As Director of Turning Point Technique Roscha McDonald encourages clients to assess her based not only on her qualifications but also on their own intuition. Trust yourself to know integrity when you see it.
