Successful Personal Coaching With Telephone Counselling (Caroline Bronte)

Successful personal counselling depends upon the safety of an important and trustworthy relationship in which an individual feels that they can safely talk through their problems and deal with the trials of life. Through a personal counsellor or life coach, a person can become more self aware by talking through their issues in a non-threatening environment where they feel listened to and gently coached. Though it may sometimes be difficult to find a personal coach near you that you feel comfortable with, there are actually many professional counsellors these days who are offering their services through telephone counselling or skype sessions, so you are free to choose someone you are most comfortable with no matter where you live.

With the help of a life coach, individuals find that they can get in touch with their own personal resources to help them get through problems by finding their own solutions. This happens with support and understanding from a good counsellor whether in person, through Skype counselling sessions or telephone counselling sessions. With the right help and a thoughtful and experienced life coach, the person receiving help will be able to work towards a more fulfilling, happy and joyful life.

Generally telephone counselling sessions are approximately 50 minutes long and are held at the same time and place each week. It is helpful to attend one session with your chosen life coach before you decide whether or not to commit to more. After your initial session, if you are happy with what your life coach has talked through with you, setting up a commitment to at least 6 sessions is helpful in making sure you can see some progress from the consistency of your counselling work.

There are several things to look for in a good counsellor or life coach. You want to find someone who will accept you for who you are and not try to change you. They need to be honest with you and listen to your concerns carefully. Watch for signs from your counsellor such as seeing if they are responding appropriately to your comments and seem to be really understanding what you are saying.

A good counsellor or life coach will let you talk somewhat open endedly about whatever is on your mind and ask you appropriate questions to help you come to your own conclusions. They won't jump in and start telling you what you should or shouldn't do or make judgements about your choices. You don't ever want to feel like what you are doing or saying in your telephone counselling sessions will become general or public knowledge, so most importantly, you want to make sure that everything you discuss with your life coach is 100% confidential.
