A life coach helps guide clients to reach their goals. They advise and encourage clients through personal or career challenges. They also help clients deal with habit change, grief and relationship issues.
Some coaches specialize in such areas as nutrition, finance and careers. Most coaches are generalists who help clients with variety of goals or problems they wish to conquer.
No. Life coaching and therapy both focus on improving well-being, but there are distinct differences. Therapists have education and licenses required to offer health care treatment. Coaches help their clients find and use the right tools to reach their goals but don’t (and shouldn’t) offer mental health care.
Most people who consult a life coach report more self-confidence, reduced stress and anxiety, improved job performance, better personal and professional relationships and enhanced communication skills.
Your life coach should have the qualifications, experience, rapport and availability you need. Your coach should be certified. Discuss your needs with a prospective life coach and find out for yourself how their personality meshes with yours. Your life coach must be available to you at a time that meets your schedule.
Most life coaching takes place via telephone. A life coach in your area may offer face-to-face sessions. Coaching is commonly one-hour sessions, weekly. Usually, you should expect to work with a coach for four or more weeks.
The typical range for personal life coaching is from $75 to $200 per hour, with an average cost of $120 per hour (according to choosingtherapy.com)
