Life Coach

As a life coach, you work one-to-one with people who want to change something about their lives - whether that's getting a better job, building confidence, sorting out a relationship, or just feeling clearer about what they want. You're not a therapist (you don't treat mental health problems), but you're someone who listens carefully, asks good questions, and helps people see their own answers.

Most of your time is spent in coaching sessions - talking to clients, understanding where they're stuck, and helping them set goals they can actually achieve. You help them plan the steps to get there and check in regularly to see how they're doing. Some coaches also run workshops or group sessions. You need to be patient, a good listener, and genuinely interested in helping people. You learn coaching skills through training, and many coaches continue learning throughout their careers. The work is rewarding because you see people make real changes.
