Why My Clients Became My Clients

The Home page referred to the types of reasons that might cause people to choose to work with a coach. The statements below are some of the specific issues that past and present clients have brought to their coaching.   

My life is OK – but is this all there is? But maybe I should be satisfied with what I’ve got. After all, I’m better off than a lot of people. 

I’m feeling stuck at work. I like the organisation and enjoy many aspects of my job. But I’m not sure where to go from here. 

I really need a change. I’ve stayed in this job for financial reasons and security but I would love to be doing something that filled me with a sense of excitement and anticipation when I woke up in the morning. 

I’ve got a good job but I’ve reached a stage in my life where I’d like to be making more of a difference, contributing in some way. Is it possible to make a difference and make a living?

There’s never enough time, I always feel rushed and no matter how hard I try I can’t find enough time or energy for my family/friends/interests/fun/studying.

I wish I were more confident and better at setting boundaries. I say ‘yes’ when I want to say ‘no’ and let people get away with things that really aren’t OK with me. 

I really need to make a decision about ..........But I'm worried about making the wrong decision and keep going round in circles. I just don't know how to decide.

I'm having a really difficult time at work with my manager/boss. It's making me very unhappy and I don't know where to get any help with the situation.

I enjoy being a team leader/manager and I want to do it really well. But managing people is challenging and I don’t feel I’m getting the training or support that I need.

I've been trying to get my business off the ground, but so far it's not happening. 

My business is going well but I feel as though I'm going under. How can I get better organised and stay "ahead of the game."

I’ve been feeling quite down and anxious recently and just don’t seem to be able to move forward – but I don’t want to go into therapy or counselling. 

Life’s good but I have some dreams I’d like to follow. I just don’t seem to be able to find enough time to stay focused on moving forward with them. 

I really enjoy my art/writing/photography…. – I’d love to do it full-time but I’m scared I wouldn’t be able to make a living from it. 

I’m not a religious person but I do feel a need for a spiritual dimension in my life. I’m just not sure exactly what that means or where to start looking. 

I'm feeling lonely, would like more friends, and perhaps I'm ready to find a relationship

My current relationship isn’t really working for me. I don’t know whether to stay or go. 

I’ve always known I’m gay but I’ve been too scared to tell anyone or to come out. But I don’t want to ‘live a lie’ for the rest of my life. 

It was such a shock to realise I was attracted to another woman/man. I don’t know where to go from here. 

I’m so stressed and my doctor says my health is at risk. But I just don’t know where to start. There are so many things that I can’t change.
