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 West Hartford, CT 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 West Hartford therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.

Need more help deciding?

Patrick feels like his life is at a standstill. He’s worked for the same company for four years, yet not much has changed: he hasn’t received a raise or promotion; he lives in the exact same apartment; and he’s kept up with the relatively same schedule. Patrick feels like a few important pieces of the puzzle are missing: excitement, growth, and fulfillment. Upon further thought, he decides that he’s going to take action and schedules a session with a life coach.

A life coach is an expert who counsels others on personal growth, development, and fulfillment. Patrick, like many other people, realized that he didn’t have to feel stuck forever. He reached out to a life coach, explained how he was feeling, and starting to put in the work to obtain a happier, more fulfilled life. With the help of his life coach, Patrick identified some changes that could prove beneficial. He went back to school (with the support of his company) and moved into a house!

“Simply put, coaching is where you work with someone to connect with yourself, redesign your environment and your life, and then take action to implement it!” –Emma-Louise Elsey

I love the format of telehealth in the evening. At a time where it's so challenging to find Psychiatrists, Thriveworks has been so easy to work with. And Ericka is lovely; easy to work with, easy to talk to, trustworthy, and very helpful.
