Online coaching: how a session via Zoom works

Coaching from wherever you feel comfortable – no travel, with the same methods as in person in Wetzikon.

In short: My online coaching takes place via Zoom, in English or German, from anywhere in Switzerland. A session lasts 60 minutes and costs CHF 130, in person in Wetzikon CHF 140. The free introductory session (about 20 minutes) works via Zoom or phone.

How online coaching works

1

Introductory session

About 20 minutes via Zoom or phone, free of charge. We see whether coaching suits you and whether we are a good fit. You book nothing at the end.

2

Questionnaire and appointment

If it fits, you receive the pre-coaching questionnaire, so that the first session is not spent on formalities. Payment is due at the latest 48 hours before the appointment, Twint preferred.

3

The session via Zoom

60 minutes, with the same methods as in person: conversation, exercises from the MBSR approach, work on stressful thoughts. You are wherever you feel comfortable.

4

Between sessions

You take impulses and exercises with you – not as homework, but so that what came up in the session reaches your everyday life.

The booking form for the introductory session is in German. If you would rather not use it, call me on +41 78 239 12 12 or write to winn.chelini@chw-coaching.ch.

What you need for an online session

  • a quiet room where nobody listens in and nobody disturbs you
  • a stable internet connection and, if possible, a laptop or tablet rather than a phone
  • headphones, so that you hear me well and nobody has to overhear you
  • something to drink and, if you can, a few minutes of buffer after the session

That is all. If something strikes you between sessions, make a note of it and bring it to the next one.

Online or in person?

Both work. Online you save the journey and stay in familiar surroundings; that is especially pleasant if the journey itself already costs you energy. In person in Wetzikon (Ettenhauserstrasse 46) you have a room outside your everyday life. Online a session costs CHF 130, in person CHF 140.

For some topics, online is even an advantage in my experience – high sensitivity, for example, because travelling and unfamiliar rooms are extra stimulation.

What you can use online coaching for

Every coaching topic is also available online. How I work on each one is explained on its own page:

When online coaching is not the right thing

Coaching is not psychotherapy – online no more than in person. I do not make diagnoses, I do not treat illnesses and I do not bill health insurance. If you need a diagnosis or a sick note, your family doctor (Hausarzt or Hausärztin) is the first stop. More on this: Coaching or therapy?
