Do you ever think…

- I’m getting nowhere fast.
- Why am I unhappy when I’ve got everything I ever wanted?
- I want to do so many things, but where or how do I begin?
- What am I going to do with my life?
- I’ve got great ideas but they never seem to happen. AARGH!!
- I wish I could do…with my life!
- I want to change careers.
- I want to get going…but where?
- I know what I need to do but I need somebody to keep me accountable!!
- I’ve got to figure out how to manage this situation at work.
- I want to develop a clear course of action to address this work situation but don’t really know where to start.
- How do I create a strategy for change with my team?

Meet Your Coach ‐ Renée Meggs
Renée Meggs is a Registered Psychologist and ICF-trained coach with 30+ years of experience and deep roots in the Bow Valley. Her coaching draws on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and mindfulness principles, pairing clear goal-setting with the psychological depth most coaches cannot offer.
Coaching vs. Counselling: Which Path Do You Need?
Coaching
Coaching is forward-focused. It is the right fit when you are generally well and ready to set goals, make a career move, build better habits, or create meaningful change in your personal or professional life with structure and accountability.
Counselling
Counselling is the right choice when past experiences, persistent low mood, anxiety, trauma, or ongoing mental health concerns are getting in the way of the life you want. It focuses on healing, emotional regulation, and building resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions About Coaching
What is life coaching?
Life coaching is a goal-oriented process that helps you get clear on what you want, build a realistic plan, and stay accountable as you move forward.
How is coaching different from therapy or counselling?
Coaching is future-focused on where you want to go. Counselling is past-informed, focused on healing what has held you back. Renée is trained in both.
How many coaching sessions will I need?
Most clients find meaningful clarity within 3 to 6 sessions. Your timeline depends on your goals, and Renée will give you a realistic estimate after session one.
Can I do coaching online?
Yes, Renée Meggs offers both virtual and in-person sessions. When scheduling your appointment, simply select the “Online” option to connect comfortably from your home or office.
