Life Coaching

We have the ability to meet professional standards, ethical guidelines, and establish a coaching agreement. We innerstand and apply the relevant standards in our practice.

We start from a clear place where our clients know what they are in for. We define clear parameters for a continued relationship with our clients.

We strive to develop trust and professional closeness with our clients, which creates a psychologically safe climate for our ongoing work together. This includes providing support, respecting boundaries, commitments, and being genuinely concerned for the client's wellbeing.

To move toward results, we would need to shift a client’s perspectives or help them reach new innerstandings. This typically involves creating awareness in the client around circumstances, emotions, and perspectives. We can then help plan goals and design actions that will take the client toward their desired outcome. We will assist in managing the progress which allows us to follow up on our client’s commitments while placing the responsibility for those actions firmly with them.

We assist our clients to design appropriate goals. Goal design involves tapping into the personal values that our client holds dear and transforming those into concrete, clear commitments. 

We bring a positive mindset to our interactions, which fosters the same mindset in our clients. By supporting a growth mindset, we can enhance their motivation to improve and develop their capabilities. When our clients are focused on learning, when passion and dedication drive effort, they are better able to overcome obstacles along the way.

We encourage our clients to develop a growth mindset, which assists them to accept their shortcomings and any mistakes they make on their journey, boosting their self-confidence and pushing them to implement their intentions for improvement.

Adversity and setbacks are simply a part of life. Resilience is the ability to be flexible and adapt when challenges arise. We help our clients back on track when they are knocked off course. This will not only encourage our clients to persevere but can help encourage a greater wellbeing. We help our clients use critical thinking and identify perceived obstacles to goal achievement. Provide alternative perspectives to challenge any ‘thinking traps’ which are solely mental. Assist them in learning from past mistakes, providing tactics and strategies for the way forward, and help construct realistic, practical plans for the client to pursue themselves.

Many seek out life coaches for guidance in navigating a significant life change, or the lack thereof. In many cases, however, people turn to life coaches simply for help in building a happier, more meaningful life.

There are a number of contributing factors, that working with a life coach could be helpful for you. These signs include:

• Frequent irritability
• High levels of stress and/or anxiety
• Inability to break bad habits
• Lack of fulfillment in your social life
• Persistent feeling of dissatisfaction at work
• Sense of blocked creativity

In recent years, life coaches have acquired a considerable presence in the mainstream. Indeed, a growing number of creatives, executives, and entrepreneurs are now teaming up with life coaches to attain success in their professional and personal lives.

Although there may be some overlap in the benefits of working with a life coach and participating in psychotherapy with a licensed therapist, these professionals have distinct roles and serve unique purposes.

Unlike life coaches, therapists and other mental health professionals focus on healing, treating mental health conditions, and helping people work through trauma and other issues from their past. While working with a life coach may help you to deal with certain unresolved issues, life coaches cannot treat mood disorders, anxiety disorders, addiction, or any other mental health condition.

Therapists have a degree and are licensed mental health professionals. They must follow an ethical code and adhere to regulations regarding confidentiality and ongoing education.

Life coaches, on the other hand, are not governed by a board and don't have to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and its privacy rules that help protect your personal health information. 

A life coach should never be considered as a substitute for a mental health professional.

One of the main benefits of working with a life coach is the ability to gain a fresh, informed perspective on problems that you face. In addition to offering new insight into challenges, a life coach can help you to zero in on negative patterns that could be standing in the way of your success.

Many people view working with a life coach as a means of bridging the gap between their current circumstances and the life they would like to lead. The following are some of the positive outcomes that could result from joining forces with a life coach:

• Better work/life balance
• Elimination of long-held fears and anxieties
• Enhanced creativity
• Greater spiritual achievement
• Improved communication skills
• A healthier lifestyle
• Stronger relationships with friends and family

Additionally, people frequently pair up with life coaches in order to work through barriers that may interfere with finding a partner/mate. Many people also look to life coaches for help in identifying their passion and carving out their ideal career path.

Since sessions typically take place on a regular basis over a prolonged period of time, life coaches can ensure that their clients are implementing what is necessary to experience significant change.

Along with providing the support and essential motivation, coaches can observe when a client is stuck or needs to recalibrate their goals. As a result, clients often achieve those goals more quickly and efficiently than they would if working on their own. 

Both individual and group coaching is helpful in reducing procrastination and improving goal attainment.

Health and wellness coaching may improve self-efficacy and self-empowerment.

Coaching-based leadership interventions could be effective for enhancing well-being and improving functioning withing organizations.

Life coaching can also have a range of other positive effects, including improvements in personal insight and improve self-reflection.

It may also help improve overall mental health and quality of life.
