Life Coaching is all about You!
 
It’s about focusing on and achieving your life dreams & goals. It’s a way of being empowered and realising your true potential.

This enables you to build and maintain a more positive future.

Question 5

Do I need to have a “problem” before I can see a Life Coach?

Accepted Answer

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined
No, you don’t need to have some kind of ‘problem’.
 
In my experience, I work best with ‘whole’ people.  As Bill Burridge says “Whole people are people who have a desire to live to their true potential, who want to go beyond the normal, break out of boring routines and experience a purposeful and exciting life; people who know that they are capable of so much more yet don’t know quite how to get there; people who choose to live life by making an impact on the world rather than sitting back and letting the world make an impact on them”.

Question 6

Does Life Coaching deal with a person’s past?

Accepted Answer

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined
No, Life Coaching focuses on the client’s future. 
 
It accepts what currently exists in a person’s life and what the client can do by their own action and self-belief to change their life for the future.  In fact, I find it unhelpful, particularly in the first two sessions, to know about the client’s past as it places limits on what I think the client is capable of achieving.  My goal is to get you to be the best you can be, achieve your best and go for gold.

Question 7

Do you 'Skype' or 'Zoom' coach?

Accepted Answer

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined
Yes, I often coach this way.
 
Coaching like this enables me to coach both Nationally and Internationally.  I find it an easy and effective way to coach.

Question 8

Do you coach couples or groups?

Accepted Answer

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined
Yes, I definitely coach couples or groups.
 
Depending upon the program, some sessions can be joint sessions while others need to be individual. Speak to me and we can "custom make" your coaching. 
 
I also run workshops for Businesses and Groups.

Question 9

Do you do Corporate and/or Business coaching?

Accepted Answer

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined
Yes, I love doing coaching workshops for Businesses and Corporates.
 
There are a number of different workshops, so I always discuss your Business aims and objectives to make sure the workshop coaching content is tailor-made to your specific Business needs.

Question 10

Does a Life Coach do the same thing as Counsellor or Therapist?

Accepted Answer

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined
No, A Life Coach does not do the same thing.
 
A Counsellor or Therapist helps you get to the root of your problems by listening with empathy to your past experiences. They will offer extra support, some outside perspective or some expert guidance.
 
A skilled Life Coach focuses forward and draws your solutions out of you with informed listening and questioning techniques.

Question 11

Is a Life Coach a Mentor?

Accepted Answer

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined
No, a Life Coach is not a Mentor.
 
A Mentor shares their own knowledge and wisdom and teaches a less experienced person how to get further in life. 
A Life Coach will give you tools, techniques and skills to change your thinking patterns so that you approach circumstances from a positive, proactive perspective.

Question 12

Is a Life Coach like a Consultant?

Accepted Answer

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined
No, A Life Coach does not Consult.
A Consultant provides expert advice in a particular area to a client in order to help the client make the best choices. 
 
A Life Coach has the perspective that "you know what works best for you".  By showing you techniques and tools and asking relevant, skilled questions you are empowered to make positive, life changing choices that work for you.
