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 Wilmington, DE 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 Wilmington therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.

What Do Life Coaches Do?

Life coaching is a relatively new discipline within mental health care, and people commonly wonder who life coaches are and what exactly they do. Life coaches have more flexibility to provide care to their clients in ways that classic therapy cannot.

Here is a little picture of those differences:

  • Life coaching is often goal oriented and focused upon helping clients reach their personal and professional potential.
  • Life coaches have unique styles, just like athletic coaches.
  • Individual coaching sessions can often be tailored to a client’s needs and preferences.
  • Life coaches and therapists are separate professionals. Some therapists may also be life coaches, but they are unique roles.
  • An organization called The International Coach Federation (ICF) has outlined suggested ethical guidelines that life coaches may follow, but these guidelines are not binding.
  • There is no licensure or certification process for life coaches. The title is not regulated.
  • Life coaches may have an independent practice, or they may partner with other health care professionals.
  • The principles and techniques that life coaches use often overlap with those that athletic coaches use.

Working with a Life Coach: Potential Advantages

Because life coaches offer individualized care, the benefits that each client experiences will be individual as well. Each client has their own goals and their own definition of success, but in general, the advantages of life coaching often include…

  • A clarified vision for one’s life.
  • Goals that align with that vision.
  • Unwavering and unbiased support.
  • Strategies and technique for working smarter—not harder.
  • Non-judgmental accountability.
  • A boost in confidence and self-esteem.
  • Inspiration and encouragement to overcome challenges.
  • Personal and professional development.

Shannon Clay is an absolute GEM! I've never know a "professional" who exuded an empathy and compassion for what they do as a profession, as Shannon does! She personifies an uncanny willingness to provide resources and a listening ear. She's never judgemental and gives the best advice! I am a better person for having met her. I pray she goes far in this business, especially in the climate we are living in nowadays!
