How to Know Whether Life Coaching Is Right for You

Start with the kind of help you need

Coaching may be useful if you want help with a decision, goal, habit, transition, or follow-through. If your main need is diagnosis, treatment, crisis support, trauma treatment, or substance-use treatment, contact a qualified professional instead.

You do not need to be completely sure

You do not need a perfect goal or total confidence. You do need some willingness to think honestly, make your own choices, try a practical step, and learn from what happens.

Think about what would actually help

Would it help to say everything out loud to someone who will listen and ask useful questions? Would accountability make it easier to follow through? Would one focused hour give you room to deal with something you keep putting off?

The free Coaching Fit Check can help you think it through. It is not a diagnosis or a final answer.
