What is a Life Coach?



Welcome to Northern Oracle!

What is a Life Coach, and how can I support you?

A life coach is a type of wellness professional who helps people make progress in their lives in order to attain greater fulfilment. Life coaches aid their clients in improving their relationships, careers, and day-to-day lives.

Life coaching services can help you clarify your goals, identify the obstacles holding you back, and then come up with strategies for overcoming each obstacle. In creating these strategies, we look at targeting your unique skills and gifts. By helping you to make the most of your strengths, life coaches provide the support you need to achieve long-lasting change.

Many people seek out a life coach for guidance in navigating a significant life change, such as taking on a new career. In plenty of cases, however, people turn to life coaches simply for help in building a happier, more meaningful life.

There are a number of indications that working with a life coach could be helpful for you. These signs include:
  • Frequent irritability
  • High levels of stress, anxiety and discord
  • Inability to break bad habits
  • Lack of fulfilment in your social life
  • Persistent feeling of dissatisfaction at work
  • Sense of blocked creativity
In recent years, life coaches have become more and more mainstream. Indeed, a growing number of creatives, executives, and entrepreneurs are now teaming up with life coaches to attain success in their professional and personal lives.

Some life coaches take a more general, all-encompassing approach, but there are also many that specialise and focus on helping people in specific areas.

Some of the different types of life coaches include:

  • Addiction and sobriety coaching
  • Business and leadership coaching
  • Career coaching
  • Dating and relationship coaching
  • Diet, fasting and fitness coaching
  • Divorce coaching
  • Family life coaching
  • Financial coaching
  • Health and wellness coaching
  • Life skills coaching
  • Mental health coaching
  • Spirituality coaching
Although there may be some overlap in the benefits of working with a life coach and participating in psychotherapy with a licensed therapist, these professionals have distinct roles and serve unique purposes.

Unlike life coaches, therapists and other mental health professionals focus on healing, treating mental health conditions, and helping people work through trauma and other issues from their past. While working with a life coach may help you to deal with certain unresolved issues, life coaches cannot treat mood disorders, anxiety disorders, addiction, or any other mental health condition.

One of the main benefits of working with a life coach is the ability to gain a fresh, informed perspective on problems that you face. In addition to offering new insight into challenges, a life coach can help you to zero in on negative patterns that could be standing in the way of your success.

Many people view working with a life coach as a means of bridging the gap between your current circumstances and the life you’d like to lead. 

The following are some of the positive outcomes that could result from joining forces with a life coach:
  • Better work life balance
  • Elimination of long-held fears and anxieties
  • Enhanced creativity
  • Greater financial security
  • Improved communication skills
  • More satisfying work life
  • Stronger relationships with friends and family
Additionally, people frequently pair up with life coaches in order to work through barriers that may interfere with finding a partner/mate. Many people also look to life coaches for help in identifying their passion and carving out their ideal career path.

Since sessions typically take place on a regular basis over a prolonged period of time, life coaches can ensure that their clients are implementing what is necessary to experience significant change. It is important to remember that these things take time. It may be helpful if you set some short-term and long-term goals to work toward.

Northern Oracle can help you make plans, address problems, and work toward achieving your goals.
