Sonia Reid - Professional Coaching and Healing

As a discipline, Life Coaching aims to move its clients from their comfort zones to a place where their aspirations can be achieved. It recognises clients already have the answers and potential to move forward. Using questioning techniques, a Life Coach will work with clients to help them establish clear pictures of where they are now, what stops them from moving on, what the benefits and consequences of change might be and finally, to implement change in their lives. Approaches vary widely between Practitioners, so it is worth taking the time to explore this and other sites before embarking on a life coaching relationship.

Even the most world renowned Life Coaches have their own Coaches. It is not always possible to see certain aspects of our lives as clearly as we would like to, or as clearly as we think, because we are too close. Our conditioning drags us down the same old ways of thinking and prevents us from asking the right questions. So we carry on suppressing our authentic needs and desires and promise ourselves that when the fire fighting’s over, we’ll tend to them…and nothing changes. A Life Coach asks those questions, the ones that haven’t occurred to you or you haven’t been able to ask yourself and it’s always easier to get things done when there is someone in addition to yourself, to account to.

In a sense, a decision to work with a Life Coach, is a declaration that you are ready for that big change.
