Life coaching is not just as another “psychotherapy”. Life coaching resembles counselling in that it was not about dealing with “illness” but is a framework to empower people to take control and make informed choices. Unlike counselling Life coaching does directly suggest solutions or give advice. It enables individuals to find their own goals and priorities. They are then helped to draw up an action plan and supported through it.

The power of the life coaching

 My friend Kate had been feeling low for a long time. I felt certain I could help and I suggested she consider being a guinea pig for my new life coaching skills. I told her about
coaching. She responded that while she would be pleased to see me for a chat
she did not feel up to even thinking about life coaching at the moment.

We did have that chat and I am sorry to say I applied a little covert life coaching. I asked Kate to think about some goals and suggested that she try achieving them before my next visit.
The following week she was visibly better and had achieved the goals she had set herself.
"I am feeling much better. Now tell me about life coaching." she said.
 
Any technique that can achieve results like that without the client even knowing they are being treated must be very powerful indeed. 

I like life coaching because it is 90% commonsense. We all need help sometimes when we can’t see the wood for the trees. Talking to a detached professional, who will listen unconditionally and confidentially, is a liberating experience.  Try it!
