A life coach is a trained professional who helps individuals identify and achieve their personal and professional goals by offering guidance, support, and accountability. Unlike therapists, who focus on healing past trauma or emotional disorders, life coaches concentrate on the present and future—helping people move forward in life with purpose and clarity.

What a Life Coach Does:

• Clarifies goals: Helps you define what you truly want in areas like career, relationships, health, finances, or personal development.
• Identifies obstacles: Pinpoints thought patterns, habits, or limiting beliefs that may be holding you back.
• Creates action plans: Works with you to develop a step-by-step strategy to reach your goals.
• Provides support and motivation: Acts as a motivator, sounding board, and accountability partner.
• Improves mindset: Helps you build confidence, resilience, and a positive attitude toward challenges.

Common Areas Life Coaches Focus On:

• Career transitions or growth
• Confidence and self-esteem
• Time management and productivity
• Relationship building
• Work-life balance
• Goal setting and decision making

What Life Coaching Is Not:

• It’s not therapy or counseling (though it can complement them).
• It doesn’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions.
• It doesn’t give you all the answers—it empowers you to find them.

In simple terms: A life coach helps people close the gap between where they are and where they want to be. They guide, encourage, and challenge their clients to unlock their full potential and take purposeful steps toward a more fulfilling life.
