Starting Life coaching

What is Life coaching?

Life coaching is a personalized support system that helps individuals clarify goals, develop action plans, and navigate challenges. Coaches employ effective communication and active listening to assist clients in overcoming obstacles, unlocking their potential, and achieving personal growth for a more fulfilling life.

How does Life coaching work?

In life coaching, our coaches utilize diverse therapeutic techniques that are tailored to individuals, including cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness, and positive psychology approaches. They also utilize active listening and empathetic communication to provide a supportive space for you to explore and achieve personal goals and overcome challenges, fostering personal growth and clarity.

Is Life coaching conducted in person or online?

Life coaching with our therapists in Blacksburg, VA is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does Life coaching last?

The number of life coaching sessions someone attends can differ based on the coach and the client's choices. How many sessions are needed and how often they occur often hinges on the client's objectives and the complexity of their concerns. Some clients might opt for a few sessions to tackle particular goals or issues, while others may decide on ongoing coaching sessions to work on personal growth and life enhancement over a more extended period of time. Thriveworks Blacksburg therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.

Need more help deciding?

A lot of people wonder what a life coach is and why they might need one. Newsweek explains the role a life coach can play in a person’s life, “Part consultant, part motivational speaker, part therapist and part rent-a-friend, coaches work with managers, entrepreneurs, and just plain folks, helping them define and achieve their goals — career, personal, or most often, both.” Not sure just what your goals are? Your coach can even help you with that!

A life coach helps you build the framework for a successful and fulfilling life with questions, exercises, and accountability. This way, YOU are equipped to accomplish positive change in your life.

At Thriveworks Counseling Blacksburg, VA, we have life coaches who can help you create positive change in your life.

A Life Coach Offers Guidance in Both Your Personal and Professional Life

No matter what your goals, an effective coach should be able to direct you to a path that leads to living a better, richer life. Most people can benefit from coaching in areas such as:

  • stress reduction
  • relationships
  • time management
  • simplifying or streamlining life
  • balancing work and personal life
  • leadership development skills in the workplace
  • starting or growing a business

A good life coach provides clients with motivation and strategies. They can even be an accountability partner. They can help people navigate life changes and overcome obstacles. Life coaches will not give advice, or tell clients what to do, but they will be by their client’s side as they learn to make good decisions. Your life coach will assist you in realizing that you are a capable and powerful individual.

YOU Can Benefit From Life Coaching

At Thriveworks Life Coaching, Blacksburg VA, we believe in a person’s own ability to generate their own solutions, and to that end, we provide a supportive, discovery-based framework. Learned mindfulness, leadership, and exploration of ideas are all beneficial in reaching new levels of effectiveness in all areas of your life.

  • Are you ready to focus on yourself and discover your own potential?
  • Do you feel that you need a boost to help you become unstuck?
  • Is there an imbalance between your commitments to others and your commitments to yourself?
  • Can you embrace the concept of eliminating negative self-talk, and other things that are limiting your growth potential?
  • Would you like to increase your self confidence?

So – ready to discover your own potential? Call Thriveworks Counseling Blacksburg, VA today at (540) 376-3348 to see a life coach this week. We have appointments available at a time that’s convenient for you!

So nice, reassuring, helpful for what I needed. Explained everything very well. I feel I don’t have a bunch of questions I should have asked.
