"Life Coaching offers many positive benefits which can enhance your life greatly. Exploring your thoughts with a professional, non-judgmental person can make you feel less alone and more able to sort out your thoughts in a productive way. It is a collaborative, confidential relationship, which works to develop an achievable plan to help you move forward and gain the strength to face your challenges."
Life, lifestyle and Personal Development Coaching
A unique and wholistic approach to coaching that helps clients recognize what areas of their lives could use an improvement, change or an adjustment. The idea is to re-align and re-condition the mind to stay balanced and focused on healthier approaches to living. Areas examined during sessions are personal habits, self-esteem, past experiences and beliefs, present conflicts, strengths, weaknesses, and the individual’s life situation.
With this wholistic approach a client’s issues are listened to, acknowledged and prioritized. One by one the issues are explored until the big picture becomes clear and personal patterns are uncovered. Then goals are set and steps toward them are drawn up by the co-operative effort of both client and coach.
The way one perceives life and the beliefs one has of themselves governs their choices, behavior and therefore their experiences in life.

Psychological studies have shown empirical evidence which supports life coaching and counselling therapy, and its mental and physical health benefits.
- It offers an opportunity to hear yourself report to the coach/counsellor your issue(s) which allows you a clearer understanding of them. Some clients gain enormous relief from sharing with an objective person what they have not been able to share with loved ones or people close to them. The coach/counsellor is present for the client who is feeling overwhelmed, distressed, confused, or in crisis. A safe, trusting therapeutic relationship is built in which you feel accepted, non-judged, and valued. The coach/counsellor asks you effective questions about your issues and goals to make a professional assessment and creates a treatment plan unique for your situation and needs.
- Once insight has been gained, you and the coach/counsellor collaboratively set the goals for your development. Coach/Counsellors offers you strategic interventions, techniques, and effective ways of bringing about positive changes so you may achieve your goals. As you move through this work, you may notice a lowering of psychological defences, increased self-esteem, improved mood states, a sense of returning to your true self, a more balanced lifestyle, a return to better health, less emotional confusion, increased motivation, improvement in your relationships, better focus at work, more positive attitudes, and so on.
- Another benefit of life coaching or counselling is the growth, maturation, and sense of genuineness, self-confidence and well being that you can achieve through attending to personal therapeutic work.

Counselling sessions are a major influence in your life that you can draw upon in the future with the tools acquired through this process.
