What is a discovery chat?

A Discovery Chat is a warm, exploratory conversation designed to delve into your aspirations, concerns, and motivations—or perhaps the uncertainty that's holding you back. Together, we'll explore your thoughts about the future, your current challenges, and what draws you to the idea of coaching.

This is also your chance to get a feel for my coaching style and how we might work together to break through obstacles and create the life you envision. We'll discuss your goals, the roadblocks you’re facing, and how my coaching approach can help you navigate these to achieve meaningful progress.

If, during our conversation, I feel that a different form of therapy might better suit your needs, I'll offer suggestions for alternative paths that could be more beneficial. My priority is ensuring you receive the support that’s right for you.

Trust and transparency are at the core of my practice. Choosing the right life coach is a vital step toward your personal growth, and this chat is about finding out if we’re the right fit to work together, so you can move forward with confidence.


I felt at ease with Vivienne straight away, as though I was talking with a supportive friend. Vivienne was able to guide our discovery chat in an insightful and intuitive way while maintaining focus and direction on getting to the core areas I wanted to work on. She asks questions that are illuminating and have helped me find clarity as to what it is I truly want to achieve and why. She is an amazing listener and is able to feedback ideas and guidance that feel so spot on to my needs.

Her compassion and genuine interest make her an ideal life coach - I would recommend her to any one!
