Expert Coach Consults
Bring the thing you’re circling.
A focused 60-minute consult for coaches who want an experienced second pair of eyes on a client situation, their practice, an offer, a business decision, or the professional wobble they’ve been trying to think their way out of.
Sometimes you need coaching. Sometimes you need strategy. Sometimes you need somebody experienced enough to know the difference.

When an Expert Consult is right
You don’t necessarily need ongoing support. You may just have one thing that has become difficult to see clearly from inside your own head.
Bring a client situation, a decision about your practice, positioning that isn’t landing, an offer you’re trying to shape, or something in your coaching that has started to wobble.
We’ll work with what the issue actually needs — not force it into coaching when consultation, perspective or direct strategic input would be more useful.
What you can bring
Coaching craft & client situations
A client conversation you’re unsure about, a pattern you keep meeting in your coaching, or a place where your judgement feels less certain than usual. We can slow it down, look at what may be happening, and work out what deserves your attention next.
Practice & positioning
Who you’re for, how you describe the work, an offer that isn’t quite coherent yet, or a business decision you’re struggling to separate from everybody else’s advice.
Offers & client experience
Structure, boundaries, delivery, pricing logic and client journey — the practical decisions that turn an idea into something you can actually deliver well.
Professional confidence
Not “tell me I’m good enough”. More: let’s work out what the wobble is actually telling you, what belongs to skill, what belongs to experience, and what may simply need a decision.
Coaching when coaching is useful. Advice when advice is useful.
I’m a coach, but this is a consult. I’m not going to sit on information that could save you three weeks of circling because asking another beautifully open question would be more “coach-like”.
Equally, I’m not going to hand you my answer when the useful work is helping you hear your own.
Part of the expertise you’re paying for is knowing which is which.
“Lorraine is so good at knowing when I need true coaching, when I need help figuring out what I know best for myself, and when it’s actually useful to have strategy or some of her own experience and learning.”
“I love that she knows exactly which to offer in the moment.”

How it works
1
Book a 60-minute consult.
2
Tell me the one thing you most want to work on.
3
We spend the hour on that.
One thing. No kitchen sinks. Ideally no 47 browser tabs either.
Investment
Twenty years gives me a lot to draw on. It doesn’t give me your answer.
I’ve spent two decades coaching, more than a decade training coaches, and years working at the intersection of coaching craft and the realities of building a practice.
That gives me patterns, experience and useful questions to draw from. It also means I know better than to assume your situation is identical to somebody else’s.
Not so I can tell you who you are. So that I know where to get curious — and when it might be useful to tell you what I know.
