What Happens During a Life Coaching Session?

“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” That powerful insight lies at the heart of professional Life Coaching. At Colchester Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice, we offer a dynamic, supportive, and structured approach to help you achieve your goals.

But what does a session with a Life Coach actually look like? Imagine walking into a space—whether in person or online—that’s entirely dedicated to you and your personal growth.

In a session, your coach will start by exploring your current challenges, goals, and aspirations. Through targeted questions and active listening, they’ll help you identify what truly matters to you.

Together, you’ll uncover barriers and limiting beliefs while building a clear path forward. Sessions are a blend of exploration, reflection, and actionable planning, always tailored to meet your specific needs.

Whether you’re seeking clarity in your career, balance in your relationships, or motivation to finally achieve that long-held dream, Life Coaching sessions are designed to empower you.

Each conversation leaves you feeling lighter, clearer, and equipped with practical steps to move forward. This isn’t just talk—it’s transformation.

“Coaching is not a luxury—it’s a necessity for anyone who wants to create a better future.”

– Tony Robbins, renowned Life Coach and motivational speaker.

Life Coaching Methods That Deliver Results

Choosing Colchester Life Coaching means embracing a unique and highly effective blend of methods and strategies. Unlike generic coaching approaches, our services are rooted in decades of experience and an extensive understanding of human behaviour.

Our Life Coaches are not just trained; they are doctors in the field with international teaching credentials and a wealth of theoretical knowledge.

They are at the leading edge of the personal development field through their online hub at Self Help School, an innovative source of education and resources for people looking for self-improvement.

You will experience coaching techniques such as:

  • Solution-Focused Coaching: Pinpointing practical ways to overcome obstacles.
  • Cognitive Restructuring: Shifting negative thought patterns to foster a positive mindset.
  • Goal-Setting Frameworks: Breaking big dreams into achievable milestones.
  • Motivational Interviewing: Building the drive and clarity needed to act.

Every method we use is tailored to fit your personality, goals, and unique circumstances. This bespoke approach ensures the strategies resonate deeply and create lasting change.

Two Practical Life Coaching Methods You Can Use Now

To give you a taste of the actionable insights Life Coaching offers, here are two methods you can put into practice right away:

The Wheel of Life

The "Wheel of Life" Exercise

This simple yet powerful tool helps you assess balance in different areas of your life, such as career, relationships, health, and personal growth.

Draw a circle and divide it into eight equal segments, each representing a life domain. For example: Money, Career, Health, Fun, Social, Self-Growth, Love, Connection.

Rate your satisfaction in each area from 1 to 10, then connect the points to see the shape of your “wheel.”

A jagged wheel reveals areas needing attention. Use this insight to set focused goals for improvement.

SMART Goals Framework

Turning dreams into actionable steps becomes easier with SMART goals. Ensure your objectives are:

  • Specific: Clearly define what you want to achieve.
  • Measurable: Include criteria to track progress.
  • Achievable: Keep your goals realistic.
  • Relevant: Align them with your values.
  • Time-bound: Set a deadline for completion.

For example, instead of saying, “I want to get fit,” set a SMART goal like, “I will jog three times a week for 30 minutes each session over the next two months.” This clarity fosters focus and motivation.
