Life coaching is a structured, forward-looking conversation designed to help you gain clarity, set goals and take practical steps towards the changes you want in your life, career, relationships or general wellbeing. A coach works as a thinking partner, using questions, listening and accountability to help you find your own answers, rather than giving advice or a diagnosis. Sessions are usually one-to-one, in person, by video call or by phone, and often run as a series over several weeks or months.
