Life Coaching

Life coaching is a structured and goal-oriented approach that assists clients in achieving personal and professional growth.

A life coach works with a client to:

Clarify

Clarify presenting problems, personal and professional concerns and needs.

Create

Create an action plan to move forward and achieve goals.

Identify

Identify or refocus personal, relationship, career or health goals.

A life coach therefore offers a client guidance and support in identifying goals and finding solutions. A life coach also keeps a client accountable and motivated to follow through on plans. A life coach furthermore gives honest and objective feedback to aid the client’s growth process.

Emphasizing the client’s existing skills and talents, and working from the principle that humans have all the internal resources they need to live fulfilled lives, a life coach’s focus is on helping the client overcome obstacles and achieve optimal growth in various areas of life.

Depending on the complexity of the goals and the changes the client would like to make, as well as their commitment, some improvements may be noticed fairly quickly while others may take longer.

Teen life coaching

Adolescence is marked by significant physical and emotional changes and can be a challenging time to navigate. Faced with peer pressure and the need to fit in, while having to make choices that will significantly impact the future, teens may often feel anxious and overwhelmed.

Teen life coaching focuses on identifying and developing strengths and talents, strengthening self-esteem and self-confidence, developing social skills and enhancing interpersonal relationships, identifying emotional triggers and sources of stress, developing resilience and acquiring stress management strategies and techniques, as well as providing school and professional guidance.

As a 16-year-old girl struggling with exam anxiety, I was sceptical at first. But my life coach gave me practical tools that actually worked! Now I can manage my stress before tests and stay calm. The sessions were supportive and tailored to my needs. Best decision I've made this year!

Justin P. (17 years)

I felt totally lost about my future. Through personalized coaching sessions, I discovered strengths I never recognized in myself. My coach helped me figure out what I'm actually good at and what I enjoy. For the first time, I feel confident about my university choices instead of stressing about it. Definitely worth every penny my parents paid!

After 7 years in the same role, feeling stuck and uninspired, my life coach transformed my outlook. She helped me identify meaningful goals and create an actionable plan with progress tracking. Now I'm moving forward with renewed purpose and excitement. Highly recommend for anyone needing direction and motivation.
