Coaching sessions are primarily conducted via video conferencing to ensure maximum flexibility and accessibility for clients. This approach allows for convenient meetings from anywhere with an internet connection, eliminating geographical constraints. However, to accommodate those who prefer in-person interactions, arrangements can be made to meet at a local cafe or similar venue for clients who are within physical proximity. This option provides a more tangible and personal experience for those who value face-to-face interactions.
