What does a life coach do?

A life coach helps you to decide what you really want out of life and how to create a plan to get there.

Successful life coaching is a client-centred approach rather than expert-centred – that is, a great life coach will not tell you what you should do, rather they will question you about what you want to do and encourage you to create that plan. A great life coach will also provide resources and tools to help you to create, enact and stay accountable to that plan.

What if the belief reprogramming messes with the beliefs I want to keep?

Why use a life coach rather than a psychologist?

It is not either/or. Many clients work with a psychologist and a life coach. They both use talk therapy to help their clients. The main thing is that you engage with your life coach or your psychologist. Really being able to connect and engage with any help you seek (particularly in the mental health and mindset space) is the key. It does not matter their qualifications if you do not connect with that human.

What if things don’t change for me?

Life coaching is a partnership between client and coach. No amount of information and support will substitute for action though, and there’s plenty of research to suggest that you are more likely to take action when you are involved in developing the plan yourself.

An International Coach Federation (ICF) Global Coaching Client Study conducted independently by PricewaterhouseCoopers found that “80% of people who receive coaching report increased self-confidence, and over 70% benefit from improved work performance, relationships, and more effective communication skills.”

You are welcome to ask any questions you have before you commit to coaching – in fact, I encourage it!
