Life Coaching can help with virtually any part of someone's life, whether it's personally or professionally, in making choices and change happen.
It is a method of helping people to move through 'personal change' from where they are now, to where they want to be, need to be, or deserve to be, in their lives.
It's a practical, forward looking way for an individual to gain clarity on what they don’t like about their lives and what they can do about it. It's also a powerful support system to keep people moving in the right direction. It's a facilitative process of positive change and growth, where we help clients come to your own realisations, recognise your own strengths and abilities, accept your own value and worth, and define your own goals.
A Life Coach is an experienced individual who supports and encourages you to realise your potential, make achievable plans and goals for your life or career, and to build both confidence and belief in yourself. Life coaches help empower you by giving you the tools you need to take control of your life or other concerns including your self-esteem, confidence, health, relationships, finances, spirituality, career and work/life balance.
"Quite often it’s your limiting beliefs that have become chains to hold you back from realising all that you can be"
In this modern world, it can be easy to lose our sense of purpose and coaching aims to help you make the most of what you have and be all you can be. We look at your attitudes, beliefs and values, discussing your dreams and aims in life; helping you to set appropriate goals and motivating you to reach them.
So how does it all come together?
1) The initial "Discovery Call"
We start by offering a short Discovery call consultation prior to purchasing any sessions, which may also take place through social media messaging depending on how we've made contact. This allows both parties to get to know each other a bit, discuss your concerns, agree on a course of action, tailor a package more directly to your needs, and ensures you extra value for money. We will actively listen to you, give you feedback and guidance, and work with you to produce achievable goals.
2) The main session
Life coaching sessions are conducted either face to face or over the phone, and their frequency depends entirely on the issues being addressed and the needs of the Client. From our initial conversation, we aim to get a better understanding of what your needs are so we can start the ball rolling early before we start a proper session.
An appointment typically last up to 60 minutes, with price varying depending on the package suited to you. Skype or email-based services can be offered too, which can save you money, and may be more flexible than face-to-face meetings.
3) How we work with you
Although a life coach works in partnership with you, we will guide you to challenge or reflect upon certain ideas to help you move forward with your life. You won’t be forced to make any decisions you’re not comfortable with and the sessions are confidential, so you can explore your thoughts and feelings privately.
You will be encouraged to explore how to make positive changes in your life, with your coach offering support, motivation, and feedback, to help you stay focused on your goals.
These might include –
- Making healthier choices for your life
- Discovering your passions
- Understanding your options in a situation
- Building confidence and assertiveness
- Growing self-esteem
- Learning self-love
- Overcoming limiting beliefs
- Developing a better work/life balance
- Setting new goals to reach
- Use of positive affirmations
- Mindfulness and wellbeing practices
5) Getting coached through Chris Allan Coaching
Our strengths lie in our people skills, approachability, and honesty. We work in partnership with you to ensure you get the level of coaching you really need, in the areas that matter most. We are committed to making sure you get the service, and results, you really need, rather than selling you a package you don’t need; so we typically recommend an initial session, with a follow up session to review and establish your next steps.
We help people work out what they want in life and how they can achieve their dreams and ambitions. Quite often it’s your limiting beliefs that have become chains to hold you back from realising all that you can be; so we help you to break those chains, and show you how to create the life you want, create the life you need, and create the life you really deserve!
When we work with our clients it gives us a greater sense of achievement and success as we work towards a greater goal - YOUR goal. We want to share in your happiness and encourage you in all you achieve. But being part of a team also makes us stronger too through our increased exposure to new things and the value and appreciation we gain from others. It helps build vision, innovation, creative inspiration, and passion for producing winning results. These all help us do more, create more, and deliver more towards our clients needs, through free web content like podcasts and training videos, to small group workshops, and online products like our new self-hypnotherapy range.
You can be assured of a professional and friendly service, drawing on many years of successful coaching experience from both one-to-one and group workshops. We can also apply Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Hypnotherapy, and counseling as valuable tools to assist with any deeper issues where appropriate.
