Is a Life Coach worth it? These are the benefits of Life Coaching.
reasons to work with a coach, and why it is not the same as talking to a friend.
How can Life Coaching help you? What are the reasons you would work with a Life Coach? Why would you spend your hard-earned money and scarce free time to receive coaching? Here are the most important benefits.
Feel like you are burdening your friends and family, with yet again the same story? A Life Coach listens to you, without you having to feel guilty for taking up space.
Friends and family can be invested in a certain outcome, for example emotionally or financially. To talk to someone who is completely neutral and helps you find your own truth is an incredible relief.
A Life Coach is a trained professional. Your personal growth and happiness is at the core of their being. You will understand yourself better plus receive tools and techniques to improve your day-to-day life.
Work with a Life Coach. Because it’s good to know you’re heading in the right direction in life.
Life Coaching Topics
These are some of the main topics our Life Coaching clients like to bring to their sessions.
To find direction in life
Your first words to your Life Coach are something like “I’m feeling stuck, overwhelmed or at a cross-roads in life and unsure which decisions to make”. The aim of your Life Coaching sessions is about geting back in touch with your intuition, listening your heart and finding the courage to follow your own truth, regardless of the opinions of others.
-> Knowing what you really want, and making it happen.
To stop feeling not-good-enough
We all know this one; “I’m not skinny/promoted/paid/supported/young/beautiful enough”. These limiting thoughts are present all the time or pop up around certain people or situations. Your Life Coaching sessions are about overcoming a lack of self-belief and starting to feel stronger inside. The harsh commentator inside your head gets switched off as a result of the work together, and more self-love and acceptance take its place.
-> Feeling confident and becoming kinder to yourself.
to support a career change
Work-life balance is a frequent visitor in Life Coaching sessions, in the form of dealing with stress or coping with challenging colleagues or tricky managers. Career Coaching focusses on having a feeling of contributing something worthwhile to the world. Most of your waking time is spend at work, so it might as well be fulfilling, and a representation of what you truly care for, making you feel proud of what you do.
-> Knowing what your ideal job is and making the steps to secure your new role.
To overcome anxiety or a low mood
This one has to do with the fact that we are also a qualified counsellors and psychotherapists. Some of our clients like to dig a bit deeper and heal some persistent feelings of being down, or getting anxious/insecure/wobbly/panicky at inconvenient moments.
-> Being calm inside and experiencing a sense of inner peace.
and Off course, for love
A crucial part of your well-being, and therefore a regular subject during Life Coaching sessions, is the universal desire to love someone and be loved in return. The trouble of finding a partner, problems in existing relationships or the pain of losing them are heard, seen, transformed and healed. Regardless if it’s friendships, motherhood/fatherhood, intimacy, sexuality, social life or romance; we all want to feel cared for and accepted for who we are.
-> Receiving more love and giving more love to others.
What type of Life Coaching clients do you work with?
We love working with all walks of life. Regardless of faith (we've worked with Catholics, Buddhists, Sikh, Jewish, Hindu, Muslims, just to name a few), age (our clients are between 19 and 70 years of age), gender (male, female, trans, fluid or every other personal choice. We see slightly more women than men, but it’s a small difference), nationality (our clients come from over 60 different countries, including Great Britain, The Netherlands, India, Canada, America, South-Africa, Italy, Greece, and also places like Trinidad & Tobago, Somalia, Jamaica, Chile, Nigeria and Finland just to name a few), they all feel the benefits of working with us.
To cut a long story short: many of the clients who come to see us for Life Coaching aim for joy, love, purpose, clarity, self-esteem, serenity and for increasing creativity and spirituality in their lives.
