Frequently Asked Questions regarding life coaching

Is Life Coaching Therapy? No, life coaching and therapy are two distinct elements. Therapy often looks at the past and how it affects the present. Life Coaching looks at the present and how you can be empowered in the future. Life coaching is about co-designing a process to help you achieve all that you can.

Does life coaching involve hypnosis? Depending on the client some visualisation work which involves you relaxing and visualising your future does take place. All visualisation work is carried out in a safe and relaxing environment.

What happens during a life coaching session? Life coaching sessions are really in depth conversations where the coach asks the client many questions to elicit what they really want in life. The coach will question the client on the beliefs, values, who they are, where they want to go and what they want to achieve. The client must be willing to answer questions truthfully and honestly.

How many coaching sessions do I need to get? It depends but experts agree that at least three sessions are needed in order to be effective.

How long will it be until I see change happening? Change can happen from the very first session. I'll work with you to set out a co-designed action plan. It is then up to you to follow this plan and do everything as agreed in the session.

Will you the coach give me advice? By and large the answer is no. The idea of life coaching is that you take responsibility for your life and your actions. You will be empowered to life your life to the fullest your way. Therefore it is essential that you make decisions. If the coach makes decisions for you, the issue is that you will say well it was not really my decision - the coach told me to do this. If you want to change how you think and live you must be responsible for your decisions
