Starting Life coaching

What is life coaching?

Life coaching is a personalized support system that helps individuals clarify goals, develop action plans, and navigate challenges. Coaches employ effective communication and active listening to assist clients in overcoming obstacles, unlocking their potential, and achieving personal growth for a more fulfilling life.

How does life coaching work?

In life coaching, our coaches utilize diverse therapeutic techniques that are tailored to individuals, including cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness, and positive psychology approaches. They also utilize active listening and empathetic communication to provide a supportive space for you to explore and achieve personal goals and overcome challenges, fostering personal growth and clarity.

Is life coaching conducted in person or online?

Life coaching with our therapists in Cambridge, MA is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does life coaching last?

The number of life coaching sessions someone attends can differ based on the coach and the client’s choices. How many sessions are needed and how often they occur often hinges on the client’s objectives and the complexity of their concerns. Some clients might opt for a few sessions to tackle particular goals or issues, while others may decide on ongoing coaching sessions to work on personal growth and life enhancement over a more extended period of time. Thriveworks Cambridge therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.

Life Coaching and Counseling – Therapists and Counselors in Cambridge

Have you ever wished everything was different? Have you ever stirred in the morning and wished your life was actually a nightmare that you could wake up from? Are you moving through the motions of your life without any real joy or even any emotion at all? You feel isolated, confused, and frustrated. You feel trapped in a life you do not want.

The coaches at Thriveworks Cambridge life coaching are experts in their field. They have helped clients just like you reach their goals and realize their dreams. We all experience hardships and blocks on our road to success. Reach out to us today to schedule your first life coaching appointment.

How Does Life Coaching Work?

What if your life could be different in the blink of an eye? What would you do first? Where would you go? Where would you live? How would you feel? What exactly would be different? In life coaching, we call these the “Miracle Questions.” Life coaches use this exercise to guide clients into imagining and communicating the true desires of their heart. The daily tasks of life can make it difficult to even be aware of what we really want in life. This “miracle question” exercise can be helpful in getting past the static and noise of daily life.

When we were children, we all had dreams of what we wanted to be when we grew up. An astronaut, an actress, a racecar driver, a writer; these are the things of children’s dreams. While these careers may not be realistic goals in adulthood, it is important to remember and reactivate that drive and optimism of our youth. Having a little of that enthusiasm in adulthood and applying it to our current goals is a worthy exercise. An experienced and trained life coach can help you find the exuberance of your youth.

Was it difficult for you to answer the miracle questions above? Can you not even imagine how you want to change your life? This is a common problem, and an experienced life coach can help guide you to realize your potential. You may just have a feeling of being unsettled, or discontented. You know you want things to be different, you just do not know what specific changes you want to put into place.

Growth Focused Life Coaching

In life coaching, there are various aspects of life that we look at to determine success. In each category, a certain measure could be given, from 1 to 10.

These include:

  • Physical environment
  • Career
  • Money
  • Health
  • Friends and family
  • Romance
  • Personal growth
  • Fun and recreation

How would you rank yourself in each of these categories? Would you give yourself a positive 10 in any area? Would you give yourself a negative 10 in any area? Whatever you would rank yourself in a certain category, this may change in the very next moment. We have all experienced sudden and life changing events that make us plummet into the negatives. We cannot anticipate the challenges that life has in store for us. What we can anticipate is that we will face challenges. Being prepared to face these challenges is an important task, and one that a Thriveworks life coach can assist you with.

Scheduling Life Coaching at Thriveworks Cambridge

Thriveworks Cambridge life coaching is and willing to help you achieve your goals and realize your dreams.

We pride ourselves on not having a waiting list, and on getting clients in to meet their provider within the same week as scheduling. We have extended hours and can work around your busy life and schedule.

Your dreams have sat on the back burner long enough. Make the change that needs to happen. Take the first step by giving us a call. Thriveworks life coaches are sitting by, ready to help and walk with you on this journey. It would be our honor to speak with you.

I had been unable to make an appointment with a therapist for a long time. Everyone had a three month waiting list. I took a chance and made an appointment here. I love Hannah, she’s excellent, and I’m glad I found Thriveworks. It’s too soon for me to weigh in on the additional services Thriveworks offers but it seems good!
