Frequently asked Questions (FAQ)
What is life coaching?
It is about setting and achieving goals in many areas of life including business, health and wellbeing, career, relationships, and work-life balance. It can be as broad as wanting to find what will make you happier or as specific as wanting to start a new job. A life coach uses insightful questioning to help their clients identify the goals they want to achieve, recognise their current circumstances, consider all the options open to them and choose which actions they will take within a defined timeframe. Life coaching centres around the belief that everyone can achieve their goals through acknowledging and using their own resources rather than being told what to do.
How can life coaching help me?
Life coaching can help you clarify your vision, set achievable goals, and create an action plan to reach them. It provides accountability, support, and tools to break through limiting beliefs and challenges, helping you achieve results more efficiently than you might on your own.
What should I expect from a coaching session?
During a coaching session, you’ll discuss your goals, progress, and any obstacles you’re facing. We’ll work together on developing strategies and action steps. Each session is unique to your needs, but generally, they involve deep questioning, active listening, and supportive guidance.
How long are coaching sessions and how often will we meet?
Coaching sessions typically last between 45 minutes to an hour. We will meet bi-weekly, or monthly, depending on your goals and schedule. Consistency is key for progress, so we’ll determine a routine that works best for you.
How long will I need to work with a coach?
The duration of coaching depends on your specific goals and the pace at which you wish to achieve them. Some clients see significant changes in a few sessions, while others may work with a coach over several months to tackle deeper or multiple objectives.
How is coaching conducted?
Coaching can be conducted in-person, via phone calls, or through video conferencing, offering flexibility to accommodate your schedule and preferences.
