Life Coaching has been described as a conversation between a coach and a client, in which the coach provides an objective sounding board for the client to develop their own ideas. The coach provides support and motivation, whilst encouraging clients to define their own goals and take action. Together the coach and client agree a step-by-step process that moves the client towards their individual goals and the life they want to achieve.
At the start of the coaching process, the client and coach both make a commitment. The coach commits to support the client as they move towards their goals. The client commits to the process of change and agrees to takes the actions required to transform their life.
Benefits of working with a life coach include:

- You will be able to reduce the number of problems you have and better resolve those that are left.
- You'll learn how to create lasting happiness in your life.
- You'll learn how to be more effective and influential with others.
How does coaching work in practice?
Our sessions are conducted either by telephone, instant chat or e-mail. Many clients like to use a combination of these three approaches. This ensures that coaching is available at a time and place to suit you, including weekends, evenings or early mornings if that fits in best with your schedule.
It also means that although our main office is based in Scotland, our clients and coaches are located around the world.
How long do sessions take?
Telephone and Instant Chat sessions are a minimum of 30 minutes long, up to a maximum of one hour. E-mails can be as long as you wish. The initial session is usually the longest, as your coach will be gathering information about you and helping you both to understand what you expect to gain from coaching. After this initial session it is up to you how many sessions you would like to have, although typically clients work with a coach for between three and six months. Together we can select a Life Coaching package that will suit the type of sessions and support that you will need.
We will agree diary dates for telephone or Instant Chat sessions, and if relevant provide you with a web page address where you can meet with your coach at the mutually agreed time.
Prior to beginning work with your coach, we will send to you a copy of our Life Coaching agreement which that outlines each of our responsibilities. In addition we may send you some Life Coaching exercises to complete and return prior to the first session. This is particularly helpful if you are uncertain as to what aspects of your life you wish to change. It ensures that the sessions are focused from the beginning and the time you spend working with your coach is valuably spent.
How much does coaching cost?
Please refer to our booking page for up-to-date information about the cost of coaching sessions.
Confidentiality
Life Coaching is 100% Confidential, and you can be assured that whatever you wish to discuss you are not being judged in any way.
Any information that your coach retains will be for his or her personal use only, will be stored securely, and will not be passed on to any other person or company.
Who will my coach be?
When you book your first coaching session, we'll match you to the coach whose experience and background seems most suited to you, and they will contact you to introduce themselves.
All of our coaches are experienced professionals, but we appreciate that sometimes a client might not gel with a particular coach, or for personal reasons might prefer to work with a different coach. In this situation, because of our large network of coaches, we are able to transfer clients to an alternative coach, no questions asked.
