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 New Haven, 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 New Haven therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.

Life Coaching in New Haven, CT—Life Coaches, Therapists, Counselors  

Maybe you want to make a career change. Maybe work has gotten so busy that you don’t have time to spend with your family anymore.

Whatever it may be, there is always something in life that we are working towards or trying to achieve.

When it gets too hard to do alone, a life coach can step in to provide you with the guidance you have been looking for. At Thriveworks Counseling in New Haven, our life coaches are licensed and educated in a wide range of methods and techniques to help you get started. Just call (203) 586-4264 to get started.

How Can a Life Coach Help Me?

Life coaches can help you with things like:

  • Build up your confidence
  • Make a clear list of goals
  • Help you stay accountable for your goals
  • Find a career that you love
  • Do more activities that engage your interest
  • Find more meaning in your life
  • For better, more positive relationships
  • Feel happier and more fulfilled
  • Develop a sense of purpose
  • Overcome your slump
  • Learn how to prioritize different areas of your life

Alongside all of these great reasons to start working with a life coach, they’ll also help you determine what areas of your life need more attention than others. To do so, they will ask you to rate the different areas of your life on a scale of one to ten. Some of the categories include career, love, finances, and self-fulfillment. It is okay if some of your areas are lower and it is also more than okay if sometimes an area of your life that used to be a 10 is now a 4.

Reaching Your Optimal Self

We understand that things happen, people change, you find new passions. Our goal is to help you figure out what areas you feel are lacking and get a proper plan of action in place. Consider these miracle questions:

  1. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? How long would you go there?
  2. What type of relationships do you want to build with your friends or family?
  3. What is your dream job? What about it makes you passionate?
  4. If you had endless resources, what would you want to accomplish? Would you start your own business, pursue educational opportunities, build your dream home?

Did you start to feel excited when answering these? Good! There is no reason why you can’t have the life you live. Let us help you get started.
