OUR SERVICES
The Total Balance philosophy is about taking a holistic approach to life with a focus on improving balance and enhancing creativity. Regardless of whether you have come to us for career or personal coaching, our aim will be to ensure you are enjoying your life. We believe it's essential that you have time and energy for all of the things bring you pleasure and most importantly, that you find a career that you love.

We aim to build lasting relationships with our clients. Whilst a three month coaching program can help you make significant changes in your life, nothing is ever static. Along the way things will shift and we'd like you to stay in touch so we can continue to help you over any hurdles.

CAREER AND PERSONAL COACHING PROGRAMS
We like to make coaching available to everyone so we offer these programs at a significantly reduced rate to what you'll pay if you engage an executive coach. Yet you'll be getting the same thing. Please contact us to enquire about vacancies. We ask that you commit to a minimum of three sessions.

EXECUTIVE COACHING PROGRAM
Generally speaking, your organisation will fund your coaching program. Please let us know if you will be responsible for the coaching fees yourself. We offer a number of subsidised coaching places each month which you may be eligible for. We ask that our executive coaching clients commit to a minimum of six sessions.

CORPORATE WORKSHOPS
We are well known for our engaging Work Life Balance and Creative Thinking workshops. If you wish to book Kate James to speak at your next conference or provide your team with one of our seminars please contact us for more information.

INITIAL SESSION
We see clients face to face in Melbourne and Sydney and provide telephone coaching Australia wide.  We offer two options for the initial session - an introductory telephone session held during business hours (land line only) or a face to face fifty minute session at either our Elsternwick or CBD premises. For more information about the process, check out our frequently asked questions page.

SESSION FEES
Coaching fees are payable at the completion of the first session. Once you have had a single session, you can decide how you'd like to proceed. Payments can be made via Visa, Mastercard, cheque, direct debit or cash.

OUR STYLE
Our coaches are intuitive, focused and encouraging without any insincere hype. We won't make you false promises and we're very approachable.  If you're looking for a high energy, 'ra ra' style of coaching, we're not for you. We believe that change takes some time and whilst we encourage you to push yourself, we ensure you set realistic expectations. What is most important to us is building lasting relationships with our clients. Once you have completed a coaching program we're happy for you to pop back in whenever it suits.

COACHING IN GENERAL
Coaching is not therapy. It is an action-oriented process where the coach and the client meet regularly, with the coach’s aim being to support the client in any possible way. Together the client and coach look at the client's objectives and work out the best way to achieve those objectives. The coach assists the client in finding new skills to work through the process of change and provides tasks to support the achievement of goals. At times, the coach is often nothing more than an unbiased sounding board for the client to bounce ideas off.
