Wondering How It Works?

ByHeart's Six-Step Process

For individuals and couples, my process is as follows.

For organisations wishing to commission leadership and corporate services, please contact me and we can discuss what suits your organisation best.
1
You book a quick no-obligation call, and we have a chat to see if we're a good match. All calls and appointments are confidential.
2
If we're both happy to move ahead, then we'll schedule your first appointment. For each appointment, you'll have my undivided attention for 1.5 hours.
3
You and I will discuss your current situation and how it makes you feel.
4
We'll remove any obstacles you face in dealing with your situation by transforming emotional blocks that have been holding you back. We'll do this from the inside out using the gentle yet powerful approach of Psychosynthesis psychology.
5
I will identify any wellbeing and relationship skill gaps you might have, and help you master new steps and perspectives that will empower you to create truly new and positive self-worth and relationship experiences.
6
I will give you the sustained support needed to keep you feeling safe as you put your new learnings into practice so that you can gain confidence in these new skills and the new you. I will be here for you while you make it yours.
Practicalities
Where?
Depending on your location, your sessions can be conducted

  • in-person (if living in Brighton area)

  • online over video conferencing (using my online consultation room with a secure video encrypted connection that ensures confidentiality).

Coaching over video works amazingly well, even without an initial in-person meeting.
When?
My core practice hours are weekdays (Monday - Friday) 9am to 6pm.

Coaching sessions are also available during weekday evenings and week-ends, by arrangement.
How often?
Typically, I speak with clients either weekly or fortnightly.

The frequency is up to you. How fast do you want to go?

If you're going through an intense period or handling a fast-paced transition, weekly sessions would fit the bill better.

If you're shifting something more long-term, and prefer to have time to absorb the impact of each conversation, fortnightly might suit you.

Other patterns are also possible, e.g. an immersion day together.
How much?
Prices for Group Coaching programmes and events are listed on the relevant webpages.

Individual coaching sessions are generally booked in pre-agreed blocks (often, in blocks of 6 sessions). Prices for these are discussed during the initial intake interview.

Will your investment in a coaching programme be worth it for you? Only you can really answer that question for you.

If I were to charge you £1,000 for 9 sessions of couple coaching, say, and coaching with me helped you to bring fresh excitement back into your relationship for the next 10 years, the cost would be £2 per week for your future happiness.

For the clients who have re-created a marriage and a family with my help, the answer is 'Yes, it was worth every minute!'

I want you to stop reading for just one moment to ask yourself:

"What is enhancing this aspect of my life worth to me, and what would be the cost (not to mention the distress and upheaval) of a downward spiral?"

Chances are, those amounts will more than justify your investment in coaching.

I'm very grateful for having met such a positive person, and for Margarita's presence in my life.

I have been feeling much stronger after the conversations I've had with her.

Psychosynthesis Psychology

Why coaching with Psychosynthesis psychology?
All approaches to practical psychology aim to help you talk things out, so that you can feel clear about your choices and ready for action. Psychosynthesis psychology accomplishes this especially swiftly and elegantly.

The coaching component contributes a focus on practical aspects, and also supports you in acquiring any new skills and perspectives relevant to your situation.

These two elements work in tandem to achieve the smoothest path to transformation for you!
About Psychosynthesis psychology
The Psychosynthesis approach to psychology was formulated by the Italian psychiatrist Roberto Assagioli in early 20C, as he grew dissatisfied with the limitations of practicing psychoanalysis.

Psychosynthesis is a hopeful psychology, with its eye not only on your past, but also on your aspirations for the future. It supports you in redirecting your life towards meaning and your values.

Psychosynthesis has also been described as a psychology of the Self. It takes matters of the soul and spirit into consideration, alongside your physical and emotional experiences, and your personal thoughts and processes.

If you wish to find out more about Psychosynthesis, please visit the website of the Institute of Psychosynthesis.

So far I've had one session with Margarita, and to say that I found it hugely beneficial would be an understatement.

Her approach is tender, encouraging and professional.

I found the session thoroughly enjoyable and particularly enlightening.

If you, like me, are looking to truly discover and develop yourself, I'd strongly recommend engaging with Margarita. I can't wait for my next session!

Put Your Struggles Behind You

I've said elsewhere that our sense of wellbeing is intricately bound up with our relationship with ourselves, with the people around us, and with our world.

Given that we all face relationship difficulties in one form or another at various stages of life, this often impacts on our sense of wellbeing, as well.

What is likely to happen if your life stays as it is?

For many, the answer is remaining trapped in trying-and-failing cycles.

And the knock-on effects for their children, friends and colleagues can also be distressing.

With ByHeart Coaching, you can expect to:
Discover untapped resources within you and around you,
Get help with dismantling obstacles,
Get help with devising the steps that will take you beyond any sticking points,
Explore and embrace your power and learn to wield it skillfully,
Gain new wellbeing and relationship skills and perspectives in as swift and smooth a way as possible.
Begin living your best life today. Book a discovery call with Margarita to find out more.
I often go into sessions with Margarita feeling conflicted and overwhelmed by feelings. Without fail, by the end of the session, I feel I can reclaim my power.

Armed with sticky notes, tools and new ways of thinking, Margarita has such a way of drawing it out of you and reinstating what you thought you lost. I cannot recommend her enough!

Frequently Asked Questions
It seems like I've tried everything. Can coaching really bring something new to my situation?
I get that it can be hard to imagine how just a few conversations could transform your situation!

The range of approaches that a professional can choose from goes far beyond what most people are even aware exists.

My clients experience surprising relevations at every session. They leave each session equipped with a new perspective that moves them beyond the territory where they'd been stuck. Plus, I work with them to devise clear action steps that foster new levels of enjoyment and collaboration within themselves and in their relationships.
How do I know if Margarita's style of coaching will suit me?
Working with a coach involves you as a whole human being.

So I get that it's important to you to feel sure that we'd get on well, and enjoy our time together!

Let's have a quick no-obligation chat, and you can ask me any questions you might have about my approach or process.

It would feel embarrassing to talk to a stranger about an intimate aspect of my life.
Talking to a professional who guarantees confidentiality and a safe space is likely to feel less awkward than talking to familly or friends who are too close and too involved to make space for your feelings and experiences - or to provide constructive guidance. Especially on such personal matters.

I've spoken with many people in a similar situation to yours, so you can be confident and assured of a sympathetic ear. During our time, I'm entirely devoted to listening to you and helping you.
I'm a bit confused about the difference between coaching and therapy/counselling.
Psychology-informed coaching and therapy/counselling do have something in common. Both disciplines use emotional intelligence and in-depth psychology to support people.

The simplest way to draw a distinction between them is to look at what people ask of the practitioner.

You would come for coaching if what was on your mind could be summed up as:

  • 'Help me sort this out'
  • 'Help me improve my current situation'
  • 'Help me make intelligent choices'
  • 'Help me make changes that will stick and will make a difference'

In the Wellbeing context, you might also come to a coach if you were thinking:

  • 'Help me get on with my life / work'
  • 'Help me enjoy the little things, the everyday, being alive'
  • 'Help me live my best life'

The emphasis would be different is you were seeking therapy/counselling. The primary request from a client there would be:

> 'Help me feel Ok'
> 'Help me make sense to myself'
> 'Help me keep myself together'

If you're still unsure which type of assistance is the best fit for you at this point, you're welcome to arrange a quick no-obligation chat with me, when you can ask me any questions around this topic.
