Coaching is a process that aims to improve performance in your personal and professional life to reach your full potential. Coaching focuses on the ‘here and now’ rather than on the distant past or far future. We at Ruya coaching believe that you have the answers to your challenges but you may need help from a coach to look at your challenge from a new perspective. The biggest obstacles to success and achieving your potential are inside you, not in the outside world. Your coach will help you practice how to manage that inner dialogue and, in particular, turn the critical voice that says “you can’t do it or you don’t deserve it” into a positive one that will help you reach the life you really want.
The major focus of psychotherapy is to address the healing of medical conditions, which may be both psychological and/or physical in nature. The process focuses on healing issues rooted in the client’s past, abuse, addictions, or trauma response.
Coaching is less focused on healing old wounds and more about ‘what to do about it now’. The main focus of coaching is to develop your present and future life, emphasizing the importance of taking specific actions to achieving your goals and dreams.The coach is someone who assists you in breaking down goals, projects, and plans into practical, doable action steps − without “healing”, ”saving”, or “fixing”. Coaching sessions are action-oriented and give you tools for maintaining forward momentum. Mentoring on the other hand, is all about guidance, influence and advice given by a mentor based on the vast experience of the Mentor. It’s a relationship between 2 individuals where one is more experienced than the other and has all the answers you would need.
The time required to see results changes from person to person and will depend on your flexibility towards change. We humans have a natural tendency to keep things just as they are – called homeostasis – even when it’s preventing the results you desire. There will often be a temptation to backslide to the familiar old ways, especially when in the middle of change. That’s why it’s important that you understand that there is a specific counter reaction to change called the “Dip” that consistently appears between the 3rd and 8th weeks of a coaching relationship. Hence why we always recommend the minimum you go for is 3 months, and best would be 6 months to manage your pace and allow for integration of new learning. After all you can’t change years of a specific pattern in a few weeks.

If you are committed to making a real change in your life, the six months subscription provides you the time needed to integrate your new learnings and overcome the Dib (the tendency to slip back into old habits). The six months subscription also offers you the most affordable rate with a 20% discount. The 3 months subscription allows you to overcome the dip ( remember it kicks in within 8 weeks), and gives you enough time to instill new habits and offers a 10% discount. We recommend the 1 month subscription to someone who is new to coaching and experiencing it is a priority before committing to new change. You can always upgrade to a more affordable 6 month subscription later.
Yes, if you opted for a monthly subscription, you can cancel it any time. However, if you opted for a 3 or 6 month subscription, you can cancel it any time but the cancellation will not go into effect before the end of the term. If you don’t cancel your subscription, it will automatically renew on a monthly basis using your subscription price. For example, if you had a 6 month subscription, and the 6 months has passed, you will continue to get the same rate of AED 999 until you cancel your subscription.
You always have the option to buy additional sessions. If you have an ongoing subscription, you can buy additional sessions with your discounted rate. For example, if you have subscribed to a 6 months plan, you only pay AED 499.50 for a single session (normally AED 650).
