What is Life Coaching? - Sohan Singh's Life Coaching Service

People from all walks of life use Life Coaching to discover real freedom in their lives, to uncover their own answers and to unlock their potential. Life Coaching is a holistic process which considers any and all aspects of an individual’s life and situation.

Many people initially mistake the coaching process with counselling or therapy. It is neither. Counselling is a process that is used to help an individual overcome a specific traumatic experience, for example, bereavement. Therapy is a course of treatment delivered by a therapist to a patient. Life Coaching is not concerned with what has gone before. Counsellors and therapists may look to the past for answers.

Life Coaching is based on the present and the future. So a Life Coach focuses on where the client is now and where they want to be in the future. Life Coaching works with a wide range of individuals on a host of intrapersonal and interpersonal issues and help them to achieve their dreams, make career transitions, live a happier and more fulfilled life.

In my Life Coaching practice, I am committed to bring all my training and experience to the coaching relationship, to help individuals or ‘coachees’ to overcome conflict, to enhance their communication skills, and build better relationships. Life Coaching is not instructing an individual. For me, the coaching process is the art of getting the individuals to identify their own answers to a stated situation and accepting personal responsibility for taking the appropriate actions to resolve that situation.

A Life Coach works with you on a one-to-one basis, either face-to-face or over the phone, usually in weekly sessions, to partner with you in identifying your innermost values and goals, to bring balance and achievement into your life.
