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 Newport News, 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 Newport News therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.

The life coaches at Thriveworks Newport News know the process of growth and change. Whether you are working on your personal life, professional life, or both, we can help. Book online or give us a call to get started.

Why Work with a Life Coach?

Dreaming is a great start, but those ideas also need to be translated into real-life goals and actions. Skilled life coaches understand the important of both: self-discovery that leads to action.

Consider, for example, some of the reasons people have sought life coaching at Thriveworks Newport News:

  • They want it all. Many clients aim for the stars and want the big family, the blossoming career, and the action-packed hobbies. These clients also often struggle with stress and balance. Life coaches can help these people with techniques to manage their stress. They may also help them strategize a way to have it all—just not all at one time.
  • They are facing an unforeseen or challenging life transition. Divorce. Cancer. Lay-offs. These are words that can change people’s lives on a dime. A once predictable life is now unwieldy and chaotic. Navigating new terrain is a challenge, but there is help. Skilled life coaches are familiar with a variety of life circumstances and strategies for moving forward.

I decided to seek counseling for the first time 3 months ago and I’m glad I did! It’s been a huge blessing for me, and my counselor James Martin is so wonderful! I look forward to our sessions and find myself feeling so good after them. Coming to counseling gives me an opportunity to talk about everything that has happened in the last two weeks and really process it. James has taught me a very important lesson of learning to accept things that happen in life & I’m really happy with Thriveworks. I tell people about you guys all the time!
