What is coaching?

Life coaching is a professional service aimed at helping individuals achieve personal and professional goals by providing guidance and support. Certified life coaches work with clients to identify strengths, values, and aspirations, developing personalized strategies and action plans for success. Unlike therapy, life coaching is future-focused, emphasizing goal setting, accountability, and positive reinforcement. Coaches address various areas such as career development, relationships, and overall life satisfaction, providing motivation and feedback to overcome challenges. The collaborative nature of life coaching fosters confidence and empowers clients to navigate obstacles. It's a forward-looking, goal-oriented approach designed to enhance overall well-being and fulfillment in both personal and professional aspects of life.

How many coaching sessions will I need?

This varies from person to person, depending on the goal required. Some people book 4 - 6 sessions once a week until they complete a short-term goal. Others start with weekly sessions and then reduce it to once a fortnight or once every three to four weeks for long term goals.
