1. What is life coaching, and how does it differ from therapy?
Life coaching helps individuals clarify goals, overcome obstacles, and achieve personal growth. It focuses on creating positive change in the present and building a fulfilling future. Unlike therapy, which often delves into past traumas and psychological issues, life coaching is forward-focused and action-oriented.
2. What can I expect from a life coaching session?
In a life coaching session, you will engage in open conversations about your goals, challenges, and aspirations. Your coach will ask questions, provide insights, and offer strategies to help you move forward. Sessions are structured around specific objectives and may include exercises, assignments, and accountability measures to support your progress.
3. How long does a typical life coaching programme last?
The duration of a life coaching programme varies based on your needs and goals. Some clients benefit from short-term coaching lasting a few months, while others prefer longer-term engagements lasting six months to a year or more. The length of your programme will be determined collaboratively based on your desired outcomes and the complexity of your challenges.
4. What topics can I discuss during a life coaching session?

5. How often should I schedule life coaching sessions?
The frequency of life coaching sessions depends on your availability, budget, and the urgency of your goals. Some clients prefer weekly sessions to maintain momentum and accountability, while others choose bi-weekly or monthly meetings. Your coach will help determine a schedule that supports your progress and fits your lifestyle.
6. Is life coaching confidential?
