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 Salem, MA 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 Salem therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.

Need more help deciding?

One of the simplest truths is that life is filled with trials. And while there are often support services in place to help cope, these services are either not what you’re looking for or not sufficient to the task. Services which help you to overcome struggle or stress are fairly common, but it is less common to find support in not only overcoming those challenges but exceeding your expectations and making the most of who you are. This kind of dedicated support comes from life coaches.

The difference between where you are now with your body, your health,

your money situation, your relationships, your home, your career,

your happiness, and where you will be in a week from now is simply

what you do each moment of now in the next seven days. Think about it.”

–Kathy Hadley

Common Challenges Discussed in Life Coaching

Some of the most common difficulties people encounter are with their careers, relationships, or their levels of self-confidence and stress. While each individual has their own burdens, these are fairly common and very real concerns. How do you overcome your own insecurities and the obstacles in your way?

You don’t have to do it alone; a life coach can provide invaluable guidance. A life coach can provide the following help:

  • Clarification on what you want, why, and how to get it
  • This enables you to bridge that distance between who you are and who you want to be
  • A professional life coach will provide strategies to enable you to reach your goals
  • You will be able to overcome insecurities, stress and anxiety

A life coach offers dedicated support and committed time to help you establish and achieve your goals. The reality is that a great many people simply do not know how to remove the hindrances before them, and this causes a lot of stress and anxiety. What career paths to choose, where to live, how to choose the right partner—the magnitude of these questions can feel overwhelming. Friends and family can offer advice, but there are times when a professional has so much more to offer. A life coach helps you to explore and assess the many positive choices available to you, and provides devoted care and guidance to help you make those important decisions.

What Might Life Coaching Look Like for Me?

The exact course of life coaching varies from one person to the next. This course depends on the client’s needs and goals, as well as what his or her life coach thinks will best help them succeed and grow! The goals that one might hope to work toward include:

  • Securing a promotion
  • Adjusting to a major life change
  • Embarking on a different career path
  • Opening a new business
  • Earning one’s college degree

Whatever your goal(s) might be, know that the life coaches at Thriveworks Salem Counseling will use these to inform their approach to life coaching. Their main goal is always to help their client grow and improve.
