A holistic coach is a qualified professional who uses a combination of psychology and a spiritual approach to assist clients on their journey of personal and spiritual growth. This can be applied to any area of life such as relationships, careers, health, money, etc. A holistic coach can help people identify what is holding them back to find inner peace, joy, and fulfilment in their lives.
Benefits of working with a Holistic Coach
A holistic coach knows that everyone is unique and that the same approach may not work for everyone. It is, therefore, important to connect initially to see how we can work together and to understand how this style of coaching works.
Working with a holistic coach can be beneficial in different ways:
By creating a safe space of trust where you feel safe to open up and share
By allowing you to be fully heard and acknowledge how you are feeling
By helping you identify where you are feeling stuck
By understanding how you feel and being non-judgemental
By ensuring confidentiality is maintained at all times
By helping you gain clarity on areas you would like to work on
By identifying the root cause of the issue i.e. when did something start
By empowering you and teach you different tools and techniques to handle challenges experienced in life
By helping you understand that change is possible
By helping you develop inner confidence, self-love and happiness
How does Holistic Coaching work?
Holistic Coaching is not just about setting goals, being positive and looking forward, although we do eventually get to that. When a client would like to work with a holistic coach, they may be experiencing frustration in a relationship, for example. When we work from a spiritual perspective, we gather some information and look at the root cause i.e., when did something start. The relationships we had in our past, including childhood, can affect current day issues so establishing a link and identifying repeated patterns can help to heal deeper issues.
Once the deeper issues are identified the holistic coach will then be intuitively guided to use a range of tools and techniques to clear any stuck energy around current issues. This approach works by clearing any obstacles to enable the client to work on their goals and gain clarity on the way forward. A unique programme is created for each client based on their level of awareness and the intuitive approach implemented by the coach.
Who would benefit from working with a Holistic Coach?
This is not for everyone as some people are not ready to look at healing past events even if they know they are holding them back. It is important as a coach to acknowledge where a client currently is and where they would like to be and gently help bridge that gap.
Even though people are successful at working through different issues we can often get blocked and miss our blind spots. This is when a coach can help you gain a different perspective on things. Here are some signs that might help you decide if it would benefit you by working with a life coach.
When you have lost motivation in life
When you keep attracting the same patterns
When you feel lost and unsure of the way forward
When you stop trying to achieve your goals
When you find it hard to handle challenges that you face
When you find it hard to be consistent
When the same kind of people always push your buttons
My goal with this article was to share how the holistic approach to coaching combining psychology and spirituality can approach issues from the roots to bring about powerful transformations in different areas of our lives. Holistic coaching goes beyond the mind level and when we heal at the right depth, we can experience positive changes in our lives.
