Life coaching is a professional relationship between Life Coach/Counsellor and the client to assist and empower them through a professional process to achieve their desired goal or outcome. Unlike Counselling, Life Coaching is present and future focused and concentrates more on where you are right now and where you would like to be in the future, unlike Counselling where there is often discussion about and focus on past events and issues that are affecting them and that they would like ease from.  Life Coaching is positive and solution- focused and will require active decision making and is aimed at attaining fulfilment, realizing and attaining goals, ambitions and a journey of self-discovery and personal achievements. Sometimes we have plan and goal in mind but just can’t get there alone. Many people are often more successful if they have support and added encouragement and a place where they can be made accountable and want to see their progress.  A Life Coach can add that bit of motivation and be your cheerleader as you work to attain your success and they can help to keep you focused and inspired.

The Life Coach/Counsellor is the client’s personal ally and empowers, motivates, inspires and steers them towards success. The main aim is to assist the client to develop a plan to bridge the gap between where the client is now and where they would like to be.  These goals can be different for every client, some may want to concentrate on personal fulfilment, others on work/business, job and career while others may be more about family life and goals which lead to a more stress-free family environment, for some it may be moving home or countries or starting a family or health and fitness goals – everyone has different goals in life and everyone also has different factors and barriers that affect the achievement of them.  The challenge is to find ways to overcome or go round these walls to fulfil the desired goal and it will always be focused on moving forward. Sometimes our minds become overwhelmed with focusing on the end goal but not knowing where to begin or how to get there.  With support and assistance a Life Coach can help breakdown things into smaller steps with you so that you always feel progress is being made and sometimes things are highlighted or things that may have been overlooked can be noticed and eliminated, if necessary that may have been a barrier, which then make the achievement more manageable and in site quicker.
