What is it?

Life coaching is fast becoming the new label for personal therapy. How can you become a life coach, and what does it actually entail?

Life coaching is therapy, counselling, coaching and education for life enhancing changes. It provides ongoing support both for yourself as a practitioner and for your clients as they develop.

The Life Coach Centre, a member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, is a newly incorporated training which draws its faculty from therapy tutors, trainers in business and medical practitioners. Through this training, hypnotherapy practitioners can add to their current skills to market themselves and develop a life coach practice.

How can it be used?

Life coaching can be used as a personal tool, or open doors into the corporate environment. It can be used for specialist skills development, such as in sports and performance enhancement, weight control and many others.

How does it differ from what I already know as a hypnotherapist?
 

• l It teaches you how to sell and develop your practice
• It trains you how to develop a persona for personal success
• It educates you in how to use client belief systems as a basis for personal and professional change
• How to cultivate and utilise networks of practitiioners from other fields to improve client treatment
• Ongoing assistance for clients – developing strategies and ongoing support do create business

How do I Life Coach?

From home, over the net, through the telephone, via fax, email or sms. Life coaching utilises all forms of communication to provide accessible and affordable client support.

When should I do this?

Now is the right time to augment your skills base. All conditions which you treat can be assisted with life coaching. It is a wider base than clinical hypnosis only in

How can I train?

You already have sufficient skills as a hypnotherapist to offer the therapeutic element of Life Coaching. The Life Coach Centre offers training in the other aspects you need. You will:
 

• Gain access to the development and support structure to maintain those skills
• Add practical business skills to your current therapeutic training
• Create a specific persona and be shown practical business skills which call upon your own personality and current specialised field
• Have your own coach to help your own ongoing development and critique your coaching of others
• Learn how to goal set and offer clients access to ways of developing themselves personally, professionally and physically.
• Learn to head up a ‘core service team’ from therapists, business contacts and personal service providers
