If you’re looking to achieve specific goals, or improve performance, a Life Coach is ideal. If you need help with emotional or mental health issues, often involving past traumas, a counsellor is more appropriate. Grief Coaching is appropriate after any loss as your reaction is normal and natural. If however that relationship or situation involved trauma counselling first would be helpful. 

During a coaching session, you’ll work with your grief, life or sleep coach collaboratively to identify goals, create action plans, and overcome obstacles. Coaching empowers you to set clear goals, improve self-confidence, and achieve desired outcomes. Grief Coaching is very effective as grief is a normal and natural state that can be helped with actionable strategies related to moving forward and rebuilding life after loss. 

The length of a life coaching program varies depending on individual needs and goals but typically ranges from two months to a year.

Sleep coaching is also one month but can be extended as needed.

Yes, sleep coaching can be highly effective for people of all ages. It involves personalised strategies to help individuals improve their sleep patterns, whether they’re struggling with falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up feeling rested. For children, sleep coaching focuses on establishing healthy sleep habits, creating calming bedtime routines, and addressing common challenges like night wakings or difficulty settling down.
