Life and Personal Development Coaching is a unique and holistic approach to self improvement that helps clients recognize what areas of their lives could advance, change or use an adjustment. The idea is to re-align and re-condition the mind to help you stay balanced and focused on stable and healthier approaches to living.

 

During sessions personal habits, self-esteem, past experiences and beliefs, present conflicts, strengths, weaknesses, and the individual’s life situation as well as desired goals are discussed. With this holistic approach a client is listened to, acknowledged and issues and goals are prioritized. One by one, the issues are explored until the big picture becomes clear and personal patterns are uncovered.  You are asked effective questions about your issues and goals to make a professional assessment and creates a treatment plan unique for your situation and needs. Then goals are set and steps toward them are drawn up by the co-operative effort of both client and coach.

 

The way one perceives life and the beliefs one has of themselves and the world governs their choices, behaviours and therefore their experiences in life.

​

The benefits include a greater degree of self-awareness and understanding of yourself and others, helping to improve self-esteem and becoming reflective in your personal relationships. You'll feel better about yourself and have direction, goals, confidence, and believe you are able to achieve them. Life Coaching is a wise investment because you want to make sense of it all, you want to make the most of your life. 

​

Psychological studies have shown empirical evidence which supports that Life Coaching has mental and physical health benefits.

 

Coaching offers you an opportunity to hear yourself report to the coach your issue(s) giving you a clearer understanding of them. Some clients gain enormous relief from sharing their burdens and obstacles with an objective person. Something they have not been able to share with loved ones or people close to them.

The coach is present for the client who is feeling overwhelmed, distressed, confused, or in crisis. A safe, trusting therapeutic relationship is built in which you feel accepted, non-judged, and valued.

 

Once insight has been gained, you and the coach collaboratively set the goals for your advancement.  A coach offers you strategic interventions, techniques, and effective ways of bringing about positive changes so you may achieve your goals. As you move through this work, you may notice a lowering of psychological defenses, increased self-esteem, improved mood states, a sense of returning to your true self, a more balanced lifestyle, a return to better health, less emotional confusion, increased motivation, improvement in your relationships, better focus at work, more positive attitudes, and so on. 

 

Another benefit of life coaching is the growth, maturation, and sense of genuineness, self-confidence and well-being that you can achieve through attending to personal self-development work.  Coaching sessions are a major influence in your life that you can draw upon in the future with the tools acquired through this process.
