My industry is vast, and unless you choose to belong to an accredited body, it is unregulated.?The law has no real interest in maintaining a moral standard for coaching.
?
A coach should not tell you what to do so anyone claiming they know better than you is not part of such a body. There are enormous differences in the?prices coaches charge .?
?
Some coaches and businesses undercut the rest of us so that a ‘fair price’ is a moveable feast.
?
Some coaches who are not accredited or ethical charge an enormous amount.
?
Coaches should charge a price that is commensurate with their expertise.
?
Many ethical and accredited coaches charge less with clients who are serious about needing change but are unable to afford full price.
?
I for example run a ‘pay a contribution’ scheme for those who cannot afford full price but I know will work hard.

Those who are at the higher end fall into two categories - they have expertise and training so they command higher price?OR they think charging more makes them look more of an expert! The answer is simple - Always look for a coach who has been regulated by the main recognised accredited bodies.?
I belong to the European Mentoring and Coaching Council and in 2025 I will be renewing my accreditation as well as reviewing my practitioner level. In the work I do with helping #HR, #Leaders and #Neurodivergent to do less, plan less and be less, this membership is crucial.?
?
Our industry has developed a bad reputation due to uneducated and brashly marketed so called professionals offering the world and either delivering nothing or worse, damaging the people they are apparently working wih.
?
So people are wary.
I, like many in the industry who love their work as coaches are far more interested in the success of my clients than my own. And I want those I am supporting to know there are standards?I am accountable to.
Tell me about pricing in your industry?
