Coaching — Penticton, BC
Coaching in Penticton,
with fivebyfive
One-to-one sessions, in person, built on a plain five-step framework instead of a diagnosis or a belief system.
Based in the Okanagan Valley, sessions travel south to Penticton by arrangement. No dependency model, no credentialed authority being borrowed to make it sound bigger than it is — just a structured way to look at what you actually believe, and work outward from there.
fivebyfive isn't therapy and it isn't a motivational seminar. It's a set of working observations, tested over years and written down in three books, applied here as one-to-one coaching. The premise is simple: change moves from the core outward, and most of what people call "stuck" is really a frame that's gone unexamined for too long.
Coaching happens in Penticton, in person, by arrangement — usually in your own space, on your own terms.
How it actually works
A conversation, not a consultation.
Most first meetings happen in your home, by arrangement, for a scheduled one-hour conversation — that's the default, not a requirement. If a coffee shop or a call suits you better, we can talk about that instead.
Ongoing sessions run in two-hour blocks. That's not padding — it's so a real conversation has room to actually finish somewhere, instead of ending because a clock hit a particular minute. I keep the client list small, by choice, on both sides.
There's no diagnosis, no prescribed belief system, and no expectation that you'll need to keep coming back forever. The goal is that you eventually need this less, not more.

Arrange a conversationFour ways people usually start
Coaching isn't one-size-fits-all. Neither is this.
fivebyfive is one framework, but people tend to bring one of a few different questions to it. Here's where most conversations actually begin.
Life Coaching
Penticton Life Coaching
For when something in the general shape of your life needs a second look — direction, pace, or the standard you're holding yourself to.
Mindset & Perspective
Penticton Mindset Coaching
For catching the automatic reaction before it runs the whole day — noticing the frame you're looking through, not just the picture.
Purpose & Meaning
Penticton Purpose Coaching
For examining what you actually believe at the centre — about meaning, belief, and what you're building your life around.
Relationships & Self-Worth
Penticton Relationship Coaching
For how you actually treat yourself and the people close to you — not couples therapy, but the standard underneath it.
The Framework
Five operational steps — offered, not required.
01
Stop the Signal
Notice the noise. Learn you don't have to keep listening to it.
02
Set the Tone
Decide what you actually want this to be for, before you react.
03
Pick a Station
Choose the input you're actually going to pay attention to.
04
Listen
Notice what happens once you stop giving equal weight to everything.
05
Love Wins
Not another task. What's available once the rest has been done.
This is the same framework behind the books, the free course material, and the content page — coaching just applies it with another person in the room.
Based here
Penticton and the South Okanagan.
Penticton sits on a narrow strip of land between two lakes — Okanagan on one side, Skaha on the other — which gives the whole town a between-two-waters feeling that shapes the pace of it. Wine country climbs the bench above Naramata, the old rail grade threads through the hills as a trail now, and the light off both lakes does something different depending on the hour. This work happens here, in person, with people who'd rather sit across from someone than fill out an app.
Serving Penticton, Summerland, Naramata, and the surrounding South Okanagan.
Sessions also travel north through the valley to Kelowna and Vernon by arrangement.
Before you write
Questions people actually ask.
Is this therapy or counselling?
No. There's no diagnosis, no clinical treatment, and it isn't a substitute for a mental health professional if that's what you need. It's a structured conversation built around examining what you believe and how you're framing your own life — closer to a thinking partner than a clinician.
Do you actually come to Penticton, or is this based somewhere else?
Sessions travel to Penticton by arrangement — it's part of the same Okanagan Valley service area as Kelowna and Vernon. In person is the default and usually the better experience, but if a call suits your situation better, that's a conversation worth having up front.
What does it actually cost?
$100 for the initial meeting, $250 for ongoing sessions, each scheduled in a two-hour block. No subscription, no package you're pressured into buying up front.
Do I need to already know what I'm working on?
No. Plenty of people start with a feeling rather than a clear question. Sorting out what's actually being asked is often the first real piece of work.
Will I need to keep coming back forever?
That's specifically not the goal. This runs on a dojo model — teaching and learning are treated as the same thing, and the aim is that you need it less over time, not more.
