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 Washington, D.C. 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 Washington therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.

Life Coaching in Washington, D.C.—Georgetown Therapists, Counselors, Coaches

Many people are going through life changes or challenges that they don’t know how to tackle alone. Maybe you want to start something new or are struggling to manage your priorities. Whatever your situation may be, a life coach could help you stay on track and walk you through the different options you are weighing. Making tough choices is already hard enough! At Thriveworks Washington, D.C. Counseling in Georgetown, we have a team of life coaches who can provide you with the guidance and support you have been looking for. They know the process of growth and change and can help you reach your goals. If you are ready to start working on your personal life, work-life, or both, call (202) 221-8410 to get set up with a life coach.

Why Work with a Life Coach?

Putting together an inspiration board or writing down a list of goals you have is great, but without a plan of action, it is nearly impossible to achieve these things. Skilled, experienced life coaches understand the importance of setting and achieving your aspirations in life. Maybe you want to work with a life coach because:

  • You need a change, but don’t know where to start.
  • You have a lot of goals for yourself but feel stressed at the idea of achieving them all such as starting a family, landing your dream job, and learning how to build the chair you have had your eye on.
  • You are going through a major life transition and need help meeting new people, coping with a loss, or being fired from your job.

Life Areas to Consult a Life Coach About

Many people struggle with finding clarity in their visions. Whereas counseling helps you move on from pain and heal, life coaching helps you start making positive changes in your life and helping you heal from past trauma that is holding you back. When you begin life coaching, you will measure different areas of your life based on a scale of 1 to 10. The categories you may rate are:

  1. Career
  2. Finances
  3. Physical environment
  4. Health
  5. Romance and intimacy
  6. Personal growth
  7. Friends and family
  8. Spiritual life
  9. Fun and leisure time

Maybe in your physical environment, you are a 10 but your personal growth is a 3, and as much as you have tried to make your career a 10, it has never felt higher than a 6. Your life coach will be able to take the scores you rate the different areas of your life and help you create a plan of action to make those positive changes. We can’t function at a 10 in all categories at the same time, all of the time. Your life coach will also teach you the importance of not beating yourself up if you feel like some areas have fallen. Instead, you will be equipped with the skills needed to turn around those lower areas and enact change.
