Lifestyle coaching is a type of therapy that has become increasingly popular over the last 9 years. The term personal coaching first became likeable in the USA where, together with Neuro Linguistic Programming, it became part of a redesigned astonishing wave of hugely proactive therapy models.

In many ways both Personal Coaching and Neuro Linguistic Programming are a reaction against certain variants of the Humanistic therapy movement, in particular Person-Centred Counselling. A problem of the humanistic approach is that it is highly reactive and not particularly proactive. Although all this works brilliant with some folk, with other customers long periods of no exit in sight or low return for time and effort occur. Lifestyle coaching and Neuro Linguistic Programming are both humanistic therapy in stance, spending time on improving a customers smiles rather than delving into the depths of childhood, as in traditional psychology. Their emphasis is, however, deliberately proactive and resolve issues. Find a Life Coach in London and make the change today.

Personal coaching is not about preaching to the client what to do. This is a common misconception. Some performance coaches are somewhat successful in their business careers and then make the cross over to personal coaching, assuming that they will merely be required to divulge their pearls of terrific wise wisdom with the lifestyle coaching customer. This is more like mentoring a person in a specific environment. Lifestyle coaching is instead about life as a whole.
