Certificate in Life Coaching
Help people get unstuck and move towards the life they want.
Help people move towards their goals
Life coaches help people clarify what they want and take steps towards it, through encouragement, goal-setting and accountability. The Certificate in Life Coaching covers the nature of coaching, coaching processes and skills. You'll also learn how physical and psychological wellbeing shape a balanced life.
You'll also study the main counselling approaches that inform coaching practice. It suits people who want to coach others, use coaching in their current role, or build their own practice. Life coaching is unregulated in Australia, so it's worth knowing where coaching ends and referral to a health professional begins.
