5 signs you might benefit from life coaching (even if you don’t think you need it)

You don’t need a diagnosis to feel stuck, lost, or just… off. Life coaching is for people who feel like something needs to change, but they’re not sure what. It’s not about fixing you, it’s about helping you move forward.

Sign 1: You’re stuck in a cycle of negative thinking

You're not clinically depressed, but everything feels heavier than it should. You want to think more positively, but your mindset just won’t budge.

Tip: Start noticing your internal dialogue. Write down recurring negative thoughts and ask yourself: ‘Is this 100% true?’ Replace them with a more balanced statement.
In coaching: We'll use CBT-inspired techniques to help you reframe these thought loops and interrupt the cycle.

Sign 2: You have goals, but no idea how to reach them

You’ve got ambitions, but they stay in your head. Whether it's changing careers, setting boundaries, or improving confidence, you feel stuck between where you are and where you want to be.

Tip: Break big goals into micro-steps. Instead of ‘change jobs’, try ‘update CV’, ‘email one contact’, or ‘list three things I want in a new role’.
In coaching: We’ll get specific, make an action plan, and keep it realistic, with accountability and encouragement built in.

Sign 3: You feel flat, even when life “should” feel good

Life looks fine on paper — steady job, roof over your head, people who care — but inside, you feel disconnected. It’s frustrating because you ‘should’ feel better.

Tip: Ditch the guilt. Your feelings are valid, even if nothing is ‘wrong’. Try daily check-ins with yourself. What emotions are present, and what might be missing?
In coaching, we'll explore what's draining your energy or meaning and help you reconnect with values that truly excite you.

Sign 4: You keep self-sabotaging or second-guessing yourself

You know what you want to do, but somehow you procrastinate, back out, or overanalyse until you’re stuck again. It’s exhausting.

Tip: Start tracking your triggers. What situations make you freeze or quit? Awareness is step one.
In coaching: We’ll uncover the beliefs driving that self-sabotage (like ‘I’m not good enough’) and build practical ways to override them.

Sign 5: You want to grow, not just talk

You don’t need to process trauma or explore childhood wounds. You want to learn how to think differently, act more confidently, and actually move forward.

Tip: Set an intention for the next 30 days. Keep it simple: ‘show up for myself’ or ‘take one small risk each week’.
In coaching: We’ll keep it focused, forward-thinking, and solution-driven. Less analysing, more action.
