A Life Coach gives people confidence and the ability to move forward in a positive manner in the areas of their life where they crave change. A Life Coach is a facilitator and a accountability partner, always positive and forward thinking.

Life Coaching is about breaking down the barriers and overcoming limiting beliefs, which prevent this change from happening and creating the ideal environment for positive action to take place. It is a totally holistic approach which looks at the present and sets goals for a totally successful future.  It is a kind, gentle and empathetic environment which has no judgement.

Life Coaching begins with an awareness that every human is born with the ability to be, do or have, whatever they want in life. By the time we become adults, many of us have lost this ability. But eventually, we experience the feeling that our lives are drifting off course and that there must be something better than this.

Coaching can take place face to face of over the telephone or using platforms like Zoom, Skype, Whatsapp etc. It can be used with private individuals or within a business environment. Life Coaches can specialise in particular areas or offer a general service. In essence, Life Coaching is a highly practical and portable skill which can be tailored to suit you and your clients.

The Dynamics of Life Coaching

Life coaching is a special relationship between a professionally trained coach and a client. Coaches help people from all walks of life and each relationship is unique. In every case, the outcome is that each client is more focused on their objectives and achieves these faster than if they worked alone. As a coach, you assist your clients to gain a fulfilling, successful and stress-free life.

A coach is non-critical and non-judgmental and guides the client to recognition of their own vast personal potential in a way that is far greater than the support of family or friends, whose views may be clouded by their own issues and problems. Coaches are totally committed to each client but maintain an impartiality which allows them to clearly see the way forward and to encourage and monitor progress by stages.

Therapy and counseling generally deal with a single or specific problem by looking to the past. Life coaching takes a more holistic approach. It deals with a whole life situation starting from the present. The coach helps each client to identify what they want in life and suggests strategies and tactics that will take the client from ‘where they are now’ to ‘where they want to be’. This process assists the client’s personal growth. They are no longer alone but have an ally who will work with them to establish better goals, overcome limiting beliefs, sustain momentum, overcome setbacks and to steer towards success.
