Life coaching sessions will typically last between 45 minutes and 60 minutes, after an initial assessment, sessions can be conducted over the phone, face to face or via Skype.

During the session, your life coach will ask you a number of questions, such as what you want to achieve in life, what areas you’re unhappy with and where you’d like to see yourself in the future. your coach will challenge your thinking, helping your reflection to move forward using creative and and thought-provoking processes that inspires you to make changes in all areas of your life.  You will never be forced to make any decisions you don’t feel comfortable with and all sessions will be confidential, allowing you to explore your thoughts and feelings privately in a safe space.

Life coaching is often seen as a partnership between you and your life coach, who will encourage you to explore how to make positive changes in your life based on your aspirations supporting and giving feedback to help you to stay focused on your goals, setting tasks and objectives to work on outside of sessions to aid development.

There are many coaching styles used to address different situations and to direct a coaching session. Depending on the client’s goals and how they wish to achieve these, a life coach will assess each individual and determine a coaching style tailored to you.

However you approach life, through collaboration your life coach will be able to tailor your sessions to work for you.

An example of subjects may include:

• Relationships – Do you wish you had better relationships with those around you? Do you struggle with commitment? Are you struggling to cope with a divorce? A life coach could help you to understand yourself in relation to those around you and help you work towards improving your communication.
• Business life – Sometimes we get so absorbed in hard work we neglect ourselves. Life coaches can help build confidence, develop leadership skills, enhance decision-making and asses your work/life balance.
• Personal life – Do you feel like you’re not making the most of life? There’s so much to see, do and learn in this world, but often a lack of confidence, time and will-power can cause us to stay inside our comfort zones. Life coaching can motivate you to fight the urge to procrastinate.
• Performance – Improvement is at the heart of life coaching. Whatever your skills, life coaching could help improve, adopting skills and techniques to exceed your limitations and expectations.
