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 Chattanooga, TN 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 Chattanooga therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.

Life Coaches in Chattanooga, TN—Therapists and Counselors

Coaching is for more than high school football players. There are many great reasons to work with a life coach, but here are two…

  • People have a personal or professional goal they want to achieve. Life coaches often help people focus upon what they value in life. Each person has their own priorities, weakness, strengths, and opportunities. Success will look different for each individual, and having a clear vision for what success looks like for you may increase your ability to achieve that goal.
  • People are facing challenging and/or unanticipated life events. In an instant, life can be turned upside down. Words like cancer, lay-off, or divorce mean life tomorrow can look very differently than it looks today. Life coaches can often help people navigate the challenges that come with unexpected and difficult life events.

Can you recognize any of these two situations? Many people can, and they are working with a life coach to pursue their dreams and navigate life’s roadblocks. The mental health professionals at Thriveworks Chattanooga provide life coaching because no one has to do this alone. Our staff has inspired, guided, and encouraged many people through life coaching.

Clarifying and Personalizing Success

In order to set personal and clear goals, people need to know who they are. This may sound simple, but many struggle. Life coaches often help people learn more about who they are and what they value. Then, people can let these internal compass points guide their life decisions. One way life coaches help their client increase in self-awareness is through “The Miracle Question” that allows clients to suspend reality for a moment and dream. The question comes in many forms but the basic premise is always the same: if you woke up one morning and a miracle had occurred overnight so that your life was perfect, what would your life look like?

  • What problems would have been solved? How?
  • Where would you live?
  • Who would be in your life and what would those relationships look like?
  • What life changes would have been made?
  • Where would you work?
  • How would you spend your time?
  • Where would you vacation and relax and recharge?
  • What would you be learning or how would you be growing?

Because reality has been suspended, the answers to these questions should not necessarily correlate directly to life changes; however, the answers give valuable glimpses at what people value. Life coaches may be able to help their clients use that information to make realistic, helpful life changes.
