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 Bethlehem, PA 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 Bethlehem therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.

Need more help deciding?

Most of us know and understand just how important it is to take care of our physical selves: to fuel our bodies with nutritious food, to stay active, and to give ourselves a proper rest. Some of us even call upon a professional to help us reach our greatest potential in regards to our physical health, fitness, or strength. But many of us fail to use that same level of care when it comes to the remaining parts of ourselves.

“A life coach does for the rest of your life what a personal trainer does for your health and fitness.” –Elaine MacDonald

The life coaches at Thriveworks Bethlehem in Lehigh Valley can help you attend to the areas of your life you may be neglecting. They can assist you in identifying the need for change here; they can help you better understand what you want or what you’re missing out of life; and they can offer guidance for taking the necessary strides to get to your ultimate destination. Their direction will ultimately help you thrive in life.

What Exactly Is Life Coaching?

Life coaching is a newer approach to mental health care, but it is quickly growing in popularity, as its proven to help many individuals make positive changes in their lives. Counseling and therapy typically focuses on helping individuals address and manage challenges that pose harm to their mental or emotional health. Life coaching, on the other hand, typically focuses on helping individuals reach personal and professional goals, which will in turn help them reach greater success in life.

For a more complete understanding, here are some quick facts about these professionals and their expertise:

  • Our life coaches are dedicated to motivating and helping people achieve their goals.
  • They often tailor their sessions to each client.
  • Life coaches can work alone or with other therapeutic (or medical) professionals.
  • Life coaches are not the equivalent to therapists.
  • The International Coach Federation (ICF) promotes ethical standards for life coaches.

If you’ve got your eyes set on a goal and could use some help breaking ground, a life coach at Thriveworks Bethlehem is here to assist you. They’ll provide the motivation, encouragement, advice, and accountability that you need to succeed.

Can Life Coaching Help Me? What Are the Benefits?

We believe that everyone out there can benefit from working with a counselor, therapist, or life coach. If you’re looking for a little help in regards to setting or achieving goals—personal or professional—a life coach is the professional for you. And while a life coach’s care methods will depend on you, generally speaking, a life coach can help you to…

  • Create healthy goals that will best benefit you.
  • Get and stay motivated to achieve your goals.
  • Feel inspired to aim higher.
  • Find the strength to overcome challenges.
  • Improve your self-esteem.
  • Grow personally and professionally.

Again, your experience in life coaching will depend on your present circumstances, your hopes for the future, and your determination to make life happen the way you plan! Your life coach will help you fill in the blanks: the lack of motivation, the hesitation, the shortage of faith.

Kenneth Fulton has been my psychologist for over a year and a half. He has brought meaning back to my life, after losing my mother in February 2020 and dealing with covid. I can never put into words what his counseling has done for me. I went from a very dark place back into the light again. He's the greatest at what he does. I could go on and on about this counselor but that would take too long. Thank you Ken for everything you've done.

Through my sessions with Lora I’ve been able to stop doubting myself and my capabilities. My life has changed drastically for the better through her teachings and spot-on feedback. I started seeing Lora because I was going through a tough breakup and not only were we able to acknowledge the toxicity of that relationship, we were also able to tackle my productivity issues at work and I have since completely turned my career around. I feel as though I’ve been running with a ton of weight on my shoulders and Lora was able to guide me on how to liberate myself from all of these burdens and run freely! Thank you Lora, don’t know where I’d be without ya!

I worked with Christiana for nearly four years in a clinical setting. In our agency, she was known as a compassionate counselor and was very sought-after by clients because of her caring nature and ability to hold clients accountable when needed. Her solid clinical skills made her a colleague I could always count on for solid feedback and a very thorough way of addressing client needs. She was able to look at clinical issues from multiple perspectives and with a real sense of fairness and respect for the client. Christiana is a rare find in this field!
