Coaches work with clients in almost any area. These areas include personal development and growth, relationships, business development, career goals, finances, health, well-being and fitness.

The International Coaching Federation ICF defines “coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership.’‘ 

Coaching is a process where a coach supports people in making positive changes, learning new skills, and setting or achieving goals.  Ultimately, a coach aims to help people progress in one or more areas of their personal or professional lives.

A Coach helps people to make changes, discover more about themselves,  push past personal limits and beliefs, find new solutions and approaches and set goals through using techniques such as questioning, active listening, observation, and reflection – all this to help the client to utilise their problem-solving skills and resources.  The idea is that, over time, this allows people t gain a greater sense of self-awareness, empowerment and personal insight.

With this kind of help and support, people can discover a sense of clarity, direction, and focus. Many find that coaching can help boost their confidence, self-worth, self-esteem, motivation, and sense of accountability.  People can also learn new skills and discover new techniques, approaches, and solutions to help them improve different areas of their lives, from building emotional resilience and setting healthy boundaries to setting career or financial goals.
