What is life coaching?
Life coaching at Breathe London is a focused space to think clearly about your life, without judgement.
Your coach works with you as a thinking partner – asking questions, offering tools and helping you turn “something needs to change” into clear next steps.
People come to coaching for things like:
-
Career direction and decisions
-
Confidence and self-belief
-
Stress and work–life balance
-
Relationships and communication
-
Motivation, habits and procrastination
-
“What’s next?” in life
How does it work?
1. Initial conversation
You’ll talk about what you’d like from coaching and whether it’s a good fit – even if your goal is still fuzzy.
2. Regular 1:1 sessions (in person or online)
Together you will:
-
Clarify what matters most to you
-
Set goals that feel meaningful and realistic
-
Understand what’s keeping you stuck
-
Try new mindsets, behaviours and habits
-
Agree on small, practical actions between sessions
3. Simple, practical tools
Your coach may share exercises and frameworks to help with stress, confidence, communication and habit change – all tailored to you.
Benefits of life coaching
People often say coaching feels like “finally having space to think”. Common outcomes include:
-
Clarity about priorities and direction
-
Confidence in your choices and abilities
-
Focus and better use of time and energy
-
Healthier boundaries at work and at home
-
Habits that stick instead of stop–start efforts
-
Better conversations and relationships
-
More resilience in times of change or pressure
Coaching is about creating sustainable momentum – small shifts that add up over time.
Who is it for?
Coaching might be right for you if you recognise yourself in any of these:
-
“Life looks fine from the outside, but something’s missing.”
-
“I’m at a crossroads and feel stuck.”
-
“Work is crowding out everything else.”
-
“I talk myself out of opportunities.”
-
“I know what I should do, but I don’t do it.”
You don’t need to be in crisis; you just need a desire to grow and make changes.
Coaching vs therapy
Therapy often focuses on healing the past. Coaching is more about:
-
Where you are now
-
Where you want to be
-
What needs to change to get there
If another type of support would be more helpful, we’ll discuss that with you openly.
