Life Coaching FAQ's

​

 

Q. What is the main difference between life coaching and counselling?

 

Life coaching is primarily focused on the present and future, emphasising actions and goal achievement. Coaches assist clients in setting goals, leveraging their strengths, and taking steps toward those goals. In contrast, counselling addresses the past, present, and future with a focus on coping. Counsellors work with clients to understand, resolve, and heal from past emotional trauma and pain while helping them manage daily challenges.

 

Q. How can life coaching benefit me?

  

Life coaching offers clarity on your goals, helps you overcome obstacles, enhances decision-making skills, boosts self-confidence, and holds you accountable for making progress.

 

Q. What qualities should I look for in a life coach?

  

Seek a life coach who is experienced, empathetic, a good listener, and non-judgmental. Personal rapport is also crucial for a productive coaching relationship.

 

Q. How do I know if I need a life coach? 

 

Consider life coaching if you feel stuck, uncertain about your goals, struggling with work-life balance, facing significant transitions, or seeking personal growth and development.

 

Q. What can I expect from a typical life coaching session?

  

In a life coaching session, you will discuss your goals, challenges, and progress. The coach will ask insightful questions, help you explore various perspectives, and work with you to develop actionable plans for moving forward.

 

Q. How confidential are coaching and mentoring sessions?

 

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of coaching. Coaches are committed to safeguarding the privacy of client information, except in cases where there is a risk of harm or a legal obligation to disclose information.

My clients say

“At first I was a little apprehensive about starting life coach session, but I needn’t have been. From the minute I entered the calm, tranquil setting I was welcomed so wonderfully by Samantha, I was soon at ease. We chatted about different aspects of my life and if there were any areas of achievements I wanted to work on or pursue. Being in the throes of perimenopause, I wanted help with my confidence and a gentle push into a different life and career path. Having been a stay-at-home Mum for many years it all seemed a bit daunting. Samantha encouraged me to apply for some online courses and once they were complete, I started to apply for jobs in the areas I was interested in. I have now been working in a role I enjoy for nearly a year and with the confidence and self-belief that Samantha helped me and, I am working on more courses and have a new lease of life”.
