Life Coaching

Life coaching is the process that helps clients to assess where they are now and to identify exactly where they would like to be.  We help people clarify their purpose in life, identify desired goals, and remove limitations that are preventing you from moving forward and achieving those goals.  We help people develop a realistic and practical action plan toward creating the best life they can dream of.

It can be very easy in this fast-paced society to become overwhelmed, discouraged, and disengaged from life.  Big life events like changes in employment, leaving school, an illness or disability or the ending of a relationship can contribute to a loss of identity.  And life coaching can offer some assistance in regaining that control back over your life.  Sometimes our best qualities become buried beneath the external goings on around us that we lose that deepest connection to ourselves.  Counselling and life coaching help a person to tap into those innate strengths and resources from within, reconnecting them to what makes them feel truly fulfilled in life. Life coaching counselling helps a personto put their life situation into perspective.  It provides them with the tools and strategies to make life’s stressful situations easier to manage and cope with.  When a person begins to feel that someone understands them and their situation, they feel supported.  This is often all that is required for them to feel more confident, inspired and motivated toward achieving their goals.  With the assistance of a life coach, a person can begin to develop the courage they need to overcome the obstacles that are preventing them from moving forward. Whether it be a lack of purpose, lack of confidence, lack of motivation or not knowing how to go about achieving your goals, we are here to listen, understand and guide you.

We are here to improve the quality of your life and help break you out of the thoughts, habits and behaviours that have kept you limited or stagnated for too long.  We will help you develop a plan to reach a new level of living, so you can get the most out of your life.  We will help you learn new skills, break old habits and provide practical strategies for how to get the life you want.  Our aim is to help you live the most meaningful and fulfilling life you can.

Perhaps you’ve asked yourself these questions “what is my real purpose in life?”, “what do I really want out of life?”, “what do I want to do?”, or “what do I want to be?”.  All of these needs to be clarified firstly for you to know what to do next.  You have to know where you are going and where you hope to end up in order for a plan to be devised to help you get there.  Once the destination has been established, we need to evaluate and assess the limitations that are holding you back from reaching your goals.  What beliefs are you holding onto about yourself that are self-defeating and disempowering?  They are only robbing you of the courage and confidence to move forward and to take risks and try.

So, as a life coach, our role is to help you become aware of and challenge any self-limiting beliefs and behaviour that are holding you back.  We help you to build resilient and to rationalise your thoughts and dispute any that are not realistic or true.  We will help you to replace them with realistic and rational ones that inspire you to become the best you, you can be.You may have held these limiting beliefs for a while without questioning them believing they are real and true.  A life coach and counsellor’s role is to help you see more deeply into your thinking.  It can be quite refreshing to speak to a professional who is trained to objectively listen and diagnose limiting thinking patterns.  Once we have identified what you really want and the blocks have been removed, we will work together to develop your desired goals and an action plan for how to achieve themwithin a realistic timeframe.  We also help support you along the way to reaching your destination successfully with the most satisfying outcome.
