What Is Life Coaching?

What exactly is Life Coaching? 

Whether you're looking for life coaching, mindset coaching, performance coaching, transformative coaching, or business coaching, as a top-rated Life Coach in Dorset, and former Senior Lecturer in Psychology, I can answer this question for you. I'll break down each type of coaching below...

Life Coaching

I work as a Life Coach in Poole, Dorset and online any where in the world. I used to train graduate Psychology students and was a Senior Lecturer in a professional Masters programme. I am probably the most qualified life coach you can find. Especially in Dorset. Most life coaches train for 6 months max and see 12 clients in this time. I trained for 7 years and have clocked over 6,000 client hours. If you want someone that understands human behaviour and how the mind works, that's me. 

Life coaching is essentially about helping you have more of want you want in life, and less of what you don't want. That can include, but not limited to, overcoming any challenges, problems, or obstacles you have, in both your inner world, and outer world. The inner world includes your wellbeing, state of mind, etc. The outer world is the results you are getting in life. 

Life coaching is also about creating a life you love - thriving, not surviving. 

Mindset Coaching

Mindset coaching is about changing your perspective on things. I believe that we don't see the world, other's and ourselves as they are - we see them through our thinking. When you change the way you look at these things, they change the way they appear. 

I often say, mindset is everything. I've really found that it is. 

Performance Coaching

Performance coaching is all about increasing your performance. I've worked with business leaders, CEO's, athletes and anyone who wants better results in life. If you want to raise your performance, and increase your results in any area of life, I'm trained to help you do just that. 

I like to distinguish between inner performance and outer performance. Inner performance is the amount of clarity you experience. Your wellbeing, your inner state. Outer performance is the results you're getting in life, including in your relationships, work and everything else that is important to you. If you want to hire a performance coach in Bournemouth, you can contact me for an intial free consultation. 

Transformative Coaching

Transformative coaching is more than just changing the way you think and behave. It is based on both the science of psychology, and the art of transformation. I trained in transformative coaching with the best coach in the world. If you want to see a summary of what I learnt, you can watch this video on the three principles. 

Business Coaching

Business coaching is focusing on increasing the results in your business. Unlike traditional business coaches, I work with you, not the business. In other words, I won't tell you what you need to do to grow your business. But I will help turn you into the person you need to be to grow your business. 

I've worked with various businesses in Poole, Bournemouth and Wimborne, providing business coaching. 

Therapy v Coaching

When I first transitioned from psychology to coaching, I thought they were much the same. The longer I coach for, the more differences I see in the two. 

Therapy is about getting from struggling to functioning. Coaching is about getting from functioning to thriving.
