What is Coaching?

Coaching is a means of helping people to overcome obstacles, create a shift in their lives whether that is personal or professional and achieve more of what they want. The coach works with you to find your own answers and tap into your own resources using different tools and techniques. The coach supports you to practice what you have learnt and helps you to set goals to work on in between sessions.

You may feel you’re stuck in a career you no longer enjoy but you’re not sure how to move forward, maybe you’re tired of living with stress and anxiety, you may have been made redundant which has affected your confidence and self esteem. Maybe you’re feeling demotivated with life in general and need some support or guidance on a plan to work towards or you may have a situation arising that requires some coaching and learnt techniques to achieve your goals.

How does coaching work? 

Coaches provide their clients with a supportive and safe environment to explore what they want in life and how they might achieve their aspirations. By assisting the client in committing to action and by being a sounding-board and mirror to their experiences, coaching allows the individual the personal space and support they need to grow and develop.

How does it differ from counselling? 

The key difference between coaching and other therapies is that coaching usually happens over a shorter time period, is focused on goals and achieving results within specific time frames. It does not seek to resolve deeper serious underlying psychological issues that are best served by a professional therapist.

What is life coaching? 

Life coaching is a profession that is very different from consulting, mentoring, advice, therapy or counselling. The coaching process addresses specific personal projects, business successes, general conditions and transitions in the client’s personal life, relationships or profession by examining what is going on right now, discovering what your obstacles or challenges might be, and choosing a course of action to make your life be what you want it to be.

What is career coaching? 

Career coaching is a great way to get support in establishing your professional goals, making career decisions, creating and executing plans, and overcoming obstacles that may get in the way.
