TLDR: jump right into the coaching finder quiz, browse the niches manually that follow, or go to the ultimate guide to coaching article instead.
At The Envisionary, forward-thinking coaching is our niche, where coaching aims to help us look forward, anticipate change, and work out how to advance our own vision and direction, but how do you know what kind of forward-thinking coaching is right for you? And if another type of coaching is what you actually need (after all coaching by it’s nature helps us look towards change in all sorts of different areas).
The Forward-Thinking Coaching Finder
Considering modern-day coaching is leading us all towards more and more personalised coaching niches and needs, our coaching finder is specifically designed to help you figure out and narrow down what coaching niche is right for your current (and future) needs, and whether or not specific forward-thinking ‘envisionary’ type-coaching is for you!
So, let’s start. It only takes a minute!
CREATIVE ‘ENVISIONARY’ COACHING
Creative coaching helps people unlock their creativity and/or use it to think ahead. In this context it’s about our vision to change through imagination and innovation, rather than being just about artistic talent.
The Envisionary is primarily about this creative and visionary form of coaching, and you can learn more about our vision for this new forward-thinking coaching here.
WHAT DOES A CREATIVE COACH / ENVISIONARY COACH DO?
A creative coach (or envisionary coach) helps you find that spark of creativity to change, be it the vision to see the bigger picture, the will to try new challenges, or the impact of being more innovative in life & work.
A creative coach provides tools and techniques to help you overcome creative blocks, develop creative talents or conceptual solutions, explore entrepreneurial endeavours or more creative professions, and/or embrace changes in life & work easier.
A creative/envisionary coach will help you improve your forward-thinking vision and creative and critical outlook in life and work
WHY SHOULD I GET CREATIVE COACHING / ENVISIONARY COACHING?
The days of sensible, secure, routine jobs for life have gone (or are going by the day), and many jobs of that kind are increasingly likely to be replicated or carried out by AI robots following more efficient methods and productivity than humans can, so now (more than ever) our ability to be adaptable and creative, to embrace change, to emotionally connect and empathise, and to reinvent ourselves through life becomes more important.
Yet, up until recently creativity has often been reserved for paintbrush hobbies so many of us don’t know how to bring it out of us each day, or how to use it to benefit our life and career in bigger ways, both for today and tomorrow.
Enter the creative, (en)visionary coach.

WORK COACHING (CAREER & BUSINESS)
Work coaching is coaching that is related to the work side of our lives, from business-related coaching to job roles and/or career progression. For this type of coaching let’s define the difference between careers coaching and business coaching.
WHAT DOES A CAREERS COACH DO?
A careers coach focuses on a client’s personal career goals. Whilst a business coach can help you in obtaining business-related goals, a careers coach is more concerned about ensuring you are finding the right fit for you.
We spend over 80,000 hours of our life working so it pays to do something we both enjoy and are good at. Finding this purpose-driven career can lead people to create so much more impact with their working lives.
A careers coach will help you work out your most effective and purposeful career path, and can help you no matter what stage you are in your career
WHY SHOULD I GET A CAREERS COACH?
Maybe you are bored with your current line of work and want a career change, or maybe you want something more purposeful or rewarding, whilst exploring other talents. Or maybe you want to work out how to make a livable income from doing something else other than a generic job that might not fit your skillset.
You may also need help in preparing for jobs or seeing other potential ways of building up a flexible portfolio career. A career coach can help.
WHAT DOES A BUSINESS COACH DO?
A professional business coach helps business owners and entrepreneurs succeed through supporting and motivating them, giving recommendations to a company’s/startup’s vision and goals, and helping business owners prioritize strategies around these goals to help their business grow better and faster.
A good business coach helps to identify and implement business growth opportunities, seeing into the future needs of an industry.
A business/executive coach will help you craft your business vision and strategy, and can help you see that running a business is a lot more than just looking the part
WHY SHOULD I GET BUSINESS COACHING?
Starting or running a business is no easy task, as there’s so much to keep your eye on. A business coach is like a second pair of eyes helping you move in the right direction.
Furthermore, a business (or entrepreneur) coach will help you see things from the outside-in, and can help you make a positive impact with a future-led business strategy, as well as keep your eye on the daily details of running an efficient business.

FIND YOUR MENTAL HEALTH COACHING NICHE
Mental health coaching can be broken down into different niches. Find the best niche and personal fit for your needs (select each niche coaching type below to learn more about each one):
Esteem (Self-Confidence Coach, Happiness Coach, Abundance Coach)
The root of good mental health comes from building self-esteem, which is where these coaches come in.
A self-confidence coach (or self-esteem coach) helps clients with low self-confidence or self-esteem, and helps them build up their inner strength through confidence building coaching methods. This coach may help a client realise their goals or purpose locked within, help provide direction, and helps them get out of an unhappy rut in life. We often get stuck in comfort barriers that keep us trapped where we are and a self-esteem coach will help clients firstly believe they are worthy of their own self love (although counseling would be more beneficial first) and help them take action towards building the person they want to be. A self-confidence coach will also help people learn to take good care in themselves and motivate them to wake up each day and believe they can make their life better that day.
A happiness coach brings out the joy of living in clients in all sorts of areas. In today’s world people can feel busier than ever and a happiness coach can help them zone out for a bit and re-engage with their child-within, helping clients release stress and find more joy in life. It’s not all about feeling happy all the time though, but about helping clients uncover what might be stopping them from feeling happy too.
An abundance coach (or belief coach) is an expert in helping you manifest and attract what you want into your life. It’s not magic, there’s a lot of work that goes into developing the mindset that can attract positivity and opportunity, but an abundance coach will help you in doing so. This works the same as the law of attraction, in that if you train your mind to believe you can do something then it dramatically improves the chances that you can. An abundance coach works on the principle that there’s always more potential you can develop, rather than a scarcity mindset that resists change and opportunity.
Self-Confidence Coaching is for you if…
- you need help in building your self-confidence or self-esteem
- you don’t think you are good enough or fear what others think of you
- you need help working out what is holding you back from going after what you want in life
- you often judge yourself against others rather than build up your own journey
- you need help in self-care and in waking up each day to treat yourself and love yourself like every human being deserves
- you need relaxation, stress-busting techniques, and methods that will help you organise your time and energy better, to feel better emotionally each day
- you need help in crafting a dream or goal to follow, and need someone to keep you motivated to keep going after it and believing in you
Happiness Coaching is for you if…

Mental Strength (Mindset Coach, Resilience Coach, Anti-Fragility Coach)
Part of mental health coaching is to help clients develop stronger mindsets, with a few variations of coaching like so:
A mindset coach (or mind adjustment coach) helps clients adjust their mindset from heavily rooted biases towards a fresh look beyond previous limitations, which then helps clients lift the cloud and feel freer to becoming their best self and finding their full potential. They will help you change your core beliefs that could be blocking your growth towards creativity, success, and happiness.
Mindset coaching can be essential towards breaking free from conditioning that can stop our value-based human and evolutionary development (such as outlined in Spiral Dynamics)
A resilience coach takes stress management a step further. A resilience coach helps clients recover and adjust better to stressful challenges. It’s not only about finding a way to reduce stress but about staying the same or resisting shock after a forced change. e.g. during the pandemic, a long-term illness, or a serious conflict.
Contrary to popular belief resilience is not about improving or thriving under stress (this is anti-fragility) but about being able to cope with it and build resilience to it so that if it happened again you’d be stronger in dealing with it. A resilience coach will help clients develop a stronger mindset and self-motivation to not give up under stress, but to learn to cope and adapt to it, so that people can bounce back after something stressful.
Often, a resilience coach will focus on building proactive and comfort-led strategies to help deal with stress such as building in meditation and exercise into your daily coping ritual. The idea is that with a clearer mind someone will be able to make clearer decisions and deal with stress easier.
Anti-fragility is effectively the third level of stress management. It goes beyond resilience and robustness and leads towards being able to USE stressors as a source of prospering and development.
Anti-fragility assumes you already have enough resilience and an anti-fragility coach helps you take a harder edge towards building mental strength. Whilst many coaches today focus on the positive and comfort-led anti-stress methods, anti-fragility coaches builds up strength through ‘improving’ in the face of stress. Life isn’t always easy and it can be our ability to not just be resilient to stress but to improve when under pressure that can separate those who overcome fears and limitations and those who don’t.
Anti-fragility takes the holistic approach to growth in that we learn to accept whatever life throws at us and to be able to grow from our failures or unpredictable challenges. The uncertainty activates our ability to dig deeper. Whilst many people stay within certain comfort zones and familiar environments in life and may still call themselves resilient within that environment, anti-fragility (and the resulting adaptability) comes from being able to walk outside our bubble and be strong enough to not only survive but thrive wherever we are.

Mind Management (Stress Management Coach, Anger Management Coach, Social Anxiety Coach, ADHD Coach…)
There’s many times in life we may feel overwhelmed in our mind or in social situations, and this is where specific mind management coaches come in.
A stress management coach helps you find ways to deal with reactive stress better. Normally we react to stress due to fight or flight emotional tensions, but whilst there’s always potentially stressful situations around us (because our mind is wired for stress to protect us) a stress management coach will help you both understand what is triggering stress and to build tools towards managing that stress better, such as developing strategies to manage time or energy better, or to find ways to relax easier, to help relieve the stress so you can get on with your day easier.
An anger management coach will help clients who struggle to deal with their anger, or who find their anger builds up towards rage. Anger management differs to stress management in that there’s certain methods of coaching anger that differ and anger can lead towards people losing site of rational thought in anger episodes.
Counseling should be sought first to understand where anger may be stemming from before coaching methods (to move forward) can be applied.
A social anxiety coach helps those who suffer from acute shyness and fear of social judgement. Coaching differs from counseling here in that social anxiety coaching focuses on building an action plan that will gradually help clients feel less anxious in different situations, with stage environments created to help clients slowly embrace change in manageable steps.
An ADHD coach specialises in helping those with ADHD live functional lives that they would find hard to do on their own, through providing motivation, methods, and education about how to deal with ADHD each day. (There’s also other coaches who specialise in various specific mental functioning difficulties such as autism or Asperger’s).

Trauma (Grief Coach, End Of Life Coach, Trauma Recovery Coach, Addiction Recovery Coach)
Sometimes life is hard and certain events can lead to trauma which a coach can help you recover from or live with easier.
IMPORTANT: trauma-related mental health coaches will generally have to be certified in order to offer such advice. Counseling is always recommended first before any of these coaching types.
A trauma recovery coach helps people dealing with trauma, in the many forms trauma comes about. A trauma coach helps their clients take better care of themselves during a difficult time, not through diagnosing trauma but through working on an action plan to overcome it. Traumatic events often need counseling before trauma coaching, as trauma coaching is about the recovery phase, not the diagnosis or emotional digging that would be required before a trauma client is ready for coaching.
Similarly, a grief coach helps those who are going through the stages of grief after losing a loved one, but does so in a way that helps them take actions that help them grow through loss. The aim is to help clients practically be able to get on with living again, although a grief counselor is often needed too in order to process unresolved emotions that inevitably arise when someone you love dies.
An end of life coach helps people deal with the inevitableness of death. Whether this be a person aging and coming to the end of their natural lifespan, or the relatives of that person grieving, or the sudden loss of someone close, an end of life coach is an expert in helping people be comforted and ready for this difficult inevitability.
Other forms of trauma recovery include the addiction recovery coach who helps people who have an addiction, or an addictive personality. This could be from alcohol, drugs, sex, certain unhealthy foods, even exercise. An addictions coach will provide motivation and use certain training methods to help their client overcome their addiction, often working on cognitive psychology to develop critical problem-solving techniques and ethical responses that help their client take ownership. communication skills that will help them address their addictions easier.

An eating disorder coach helps people with various eating disorders, which could range from only being able to eat a very small amount of foods, to certain food anxiety, or to comfort eating that leads to obesity and/or depression.
Pregnancy and IVF coaches focus on helping people with fertility issues or concerns. An IVF coach helps a person deal with infertility, or helps change lifestyle habits to aid fertility.

WEALTH COACHING
Wealth coaching helps people build their wealth and lead them towards financial independence, financial balance, and an understanding of the psychology of ‘wealth survival’ and fears that can hold people back.
WHAT DOES A WEALTH COACH DO?
A wealth coach will help you manage the financial side of your life better. If we consider what is one of people’s biggest worries in life, it’s the fear of not having enough money.
A wealth coach will help clients manage these fears, as well as help them set budgets, invest wisely, and spend and save smartly. They will help clients be more resourceful and mindful about their spending and saving.
A wealth coach will help you save, invest, and envision ways to create more wealth, but wealth coaching isn’t about material possessions, there’s much more psychology to it!
WHY SHOULD I GET WEALTH COACHING?
At some point in our lives, nearly all of us have had some fear or issue with how to manage money. Life throws challenges whether it’s working out how to live well-off with less, or how to manage large assets more effectively.
We may find a wealth coach useful when we need to learn how to save up for deposits, curb rash spending habits, or recognise ways to earn more money. Money management is important for businesses too as they will be able to make wiser business choices with a good financial adviser on hand.
FIND YOUR WEALTH COACHING NICHE
There are various types of wealth coaching niches that bring expertise into a particular area of wealth focus. Find the best niche and personal fit for you (select to open):
Wealth Coach (Financial Advisor)
A wealth coach is a financial advisor (or consultant) who helps clients find the best way to resolve financial issues such as how to invest, budget, create a financial plan, and create wealth. Money management is a large part of successful long-term wealth.
A wealth coach may focus on plans and budgets, but they also have a general understanding of the psychology of wealth, the mental blocks people have, the mindset and skills needed to attract wealth, and how to manage or recover from debt.
Wealth Coaching is for you if…
- you need help organising your personal wealth
- you find you aren’t creating much wealth
- you are spending recklessly
- you are only thinking of the now or instant gratification, and not the future
- you don’t value wealth creation as an important part of life
- you need personal help with financial education
- you think you are too old or too poor to start
- you need to manage money in business or for large or complex expenses
- you want a general understanding of building and maintaining wealth
Wealth Health (Wealth Acceptance Coach, Wealth Freedom Coach, Wealth Philanthropy Coach)
Whilst many people aspire to wealth make their lives better, an unhealthy relationship with money can lead to unhappiness and trouble in life no matter how much you earn.
A wealth acceptance coach is an expert in wealth psychology and helping clients accept money into their lives, helping them believe they are worthy of having more money, and overcome those mental barriers, fears, and self-sabotage that stop people from allowing themselves to create money.
There are (surprisingly) many people who have a poor relationship with money, often because they don’t allow themselves to earn enough as subconsciously they don’t value themselves or think it means they will become a status-driven and selfish person.
A wealth acceptance coach helps teach these people that building wealth can have a much more positive and ethical impact on your life, and the lives of others around you, leading to the likes of ecopreneurship. Clients learn to overcome their negative money blocks, from realising where they came from to demonstrating how they are often misaligned to the truth, to essentially allow clients to open up to wealth creation and to do more good with their wealth.
There’s also a growing amount of people with built-up wealth (retiring etc) who want to direct that wealth into more purposeful or humanitarian-led avenues but often don’t know how, so a wealth philanthropy coach can help them make better use of their wealth, through distributing it into avenues that need it more, or through helping their clients find more purpose-led pursuits to follow.
People are learning that there’s more to life than just a load of wealth, so wealth philanthropy coaches help bring about abundance to their clients by helping them give back and get involved in more meaningful enterprises. More businesses are leading towards this value-first approach to spreading wealth too, as the importance of human-centered value and social responsibility grows, so businesses need to be ethical, eco, and value-focused with consumers becoming savvier, more health-conscious, and good-orientated.
Similarly, a wealth freedom coach helps clients stop ‘chasing’ wealth (i.e. thinking more wealth will automatically lead to more freedom), and instead teaches clients about how freedom lies in the mindset, not in the amount.
The importance of a wealth freedom coach is not to distract clients from creating wealth, but to align their ethics towards building wealth that really matters to our health and society. They teach clients that wealth freedom isn’t about just having more stuff, and that you don’t need to compete with others to feel wealthier (leading to bad financial decisions or using money for unhealthy instant gratification).
A wealth freedom coach instead trains clients to become more financially independent or self-sufficient through building good financial habits and goal awareness for the future, that lead towards resourcefulness, opportunity creation, or entrepreneurial pursuits that create more abundance and purpose, freeing clients from the rat race mentality as they work on the power of less, not more.
Wealth Acceptance Coaching is right for you if…
- you have a negative relationship with money
- you live under your potential because of a fear of wealth creation
- you don’t see how wealth creation is more than just financial assets
- you don’t create any wealth and only stick to a job for the sake of just paying the bills
- you want a coach to help you look at wealth in a positive way that can benefit society
- you don’t understand wealth psychology or how you might be sabotaging your own wealth, health and future
- you need a coach to help drill in the importance of wealth as each day you find yourself blocking it
- you may feel it’s too late to make wealth now as you missed out on opportunity before, so have given up
Wealth Philanthropy Coaching is for you if…
- you are seeking avenues to distribute your wealth into
- you already have wealth but want to create more value or purpose with the wealth you have
- you need help ensuring your wealth is put to good use
- you want to find other ventures to get involved in that can both create wealth and lead towards human-led value
Wealth Freedom Coaching is for you if…
- you are stuck in the status game of chasing more wealth, thinking it will bring or buy freedom
- you have an imbalance in life where money tends to rule your mind and level of happiness
- money is the only thing you think about each day to the point of obsession
- you struggle to create your own wealth, and instead seek to extract existing wealth
- your mind is not very resourceful and you can’t see the freedom in living with less
- you get stuck in a ‘job for wealth’ mindset rather than see more effective ways
- you want to build financial independence in a healthy way
Wealth Creation (Wealth Creation Coach, Investment Coach)
These coaches are perfect for when your focus is looking forward to creating wealth.
A wealth creation coach (wealth abundance coach / wealth prosperity coach) can work alongside wealth acceptance to first help clients overcome the money blocks and limiting beliefs that their client may have (and that may stop them from seeing the many different avenues to wealth creation), but with more focus on the actual steps towards wealth creation and abundance.
A wealth creation coach helps clients create wealth beyond sticking to a steady job. They help their clients visualise having more wealth and visualise what they would be able to do better in their life with more wealth (not just for their own comfort but in terms of ethical and productive value creation). They also help clients grasp the concept of ‘time is money’ so their clients focus on money creation actions rather than waste time building something that doesn’t lead towards a desired reward.
Clients learn to delegate, build leverage, and create a positive impact, as well as focus on attracting abundance and coming up with many practical actionable ways to start creating more wealth today. A wealth abundance coach will help clients understand wealth psychology, value-creation, and building the bridges that sees money grow money.
When comfortable creating wealth, but then unsure about where better to grow your wealth, an investment coach helps you identify your investment philosophy, create a strategy, and provide motivation and accountability towards building your portfolio.
An investment coach will teach you how to ‘grow your own lemon tree’ rather than just trying to sell you lemonade. They will help you identify assets, build assets, and grow assets, as well as help you understand when to let certain assets go and seek new ones, or how to diversify effectively. They will teach you the ins and outs of investing responsibly and prepare you for making sound investment decisions of your own.
Wealth Abundance/Creation Coaching is for you if…
- you struggle to create wealth and limit yourself to boundaries
- you don’t know how to visualise and attract more wealth into your life
- you need a plan of action to make wealth grow in abundance over time
- you have an entrepreneurial mind waiting to get out
- you want to create wealth ethically that adds value to others and attracts back to you as a result
- you want to understand the psychology of wealth
- you find you waste too much time not making money work for you
- you may feel it’s too late to make wealth now as you missed out on opportunity before
- you want to learn how to leverage assets and spot opportunities for wealth creation
Investment Coaching is for you if…
- you have no or few assets and need a coach to help you learn how to build assets
- you have no or little income and fear tumbling into more debt
- you need help understanding the many different types of investment opportunities
- you need to envision creating wealth through investments rather than through a job (or in combination)
- you need a coach who will help you set up a strategy, motivate you, and hold you accountable
Wealth Struggles (Budget Coach, Debt/Recovery Coach)
When you are under financial strain then one of these coaches can help you look forward at your finances better.
A budget coach will help you budget your finances more effectively. They will help you be more resourceful with your spending and saving, as well as give tips on how to become self-sufficient.
The aim is to spend less than you earn, and if you aren’t earning much then to envision ways of increasing that income, without increasing the expenses. It’s not about upgrading your life to expenses you don’t need, and instead a budget coach will help you see value and ethics in spending less, whether for your personal wealth or for your business.
A debt management or recovery coach helps clients deal with debts they have and/or recover from financial difficulty or ruin. Often financial hardship comes from unexpected events or through a fear of wealth creation or wealth acceptance. We may all say we want more wealth (and many hope to win big on the lottery) but much less practice what they preach in terms of actively seeking ways to create more wealth, usually because of a block or lack of know-how.
A debt/recovery coach is also an expert in wealth psychology and what it takes to overcome those mental barriers to get on top of debt or to recover from financial hardship. Part of that is building wealth abundance too, but the debt recovery coach will first address the financial blocks but then help you focus on the practical steps of debt management and learning to consolidate debt, pay off debts like credit cards and student loans, get out of debt, and build wealth.
Budget Coaching is for you if…
- you struggle to keep to a monthly budget
- you never set yourself spending budgets and just spend without thinking
- you want to become more resourceful in life
- you want to reduce your carbon footprint
- you want to become self-sufficient (or even financially independent)
- you are saving for big expenses or future expenses like kids
- you need help putting a budget plan in place and sticking to it
Debt Recovery Coaching is for you if…
- you are in debt and struggling to get out of it
- you have no or little income and fear tumbling into more debt
- you need help being more resourceful and savvy in your spending
- you need help creating a debt management plan and in consolidating debt
- you don’t know where to start and feel overwhelmed or stressed by debt
- you need a coach who will understand your needs and step you through the recovery process
RELATIONSHIP COACHING
Relationship coaching covers all aspects of our relationships with different people in our lives, from couple coaching to becoming aging parents.
WHAT DOES A RELATIONSHIP COACH DO?
A relationship coach supports individuals and couples in learning vital skills for relating in all kinds of different relationships.
A relationship coach will help you develop the practical skills and dynamics you may need for conflict resolution or deeper intimate relationships. They will help you communicate better and help you to understand other people’s mindsets and needs easier too.
A relationship coach can help you resolve conflicts, improve communication skills, and maintain your different relationships
WHY SHOULD I GET RELATIONSHIP COACHING?
We are social beings and we will all have very different relationships with different people in our life. We might find we are comfortable in our intimate relationship but maybe find it hard to communicate with teenagers, or maybe we are struggling in the dating world, but are okay in business-speak.
Beyond resolving conflicts or confidence issues, relationship coaching can help you develop more rounded out-the-box skills in life, as you don’t fear different communicative situations.
FIND YOUR RELATIONSHIP COACHING NICHE
There are numerous types of relationship coaching niches and to get the best out of a relationship coach you should find the best niche personal fit relationship coach for you (select to open):
Relationship Coach
A relationship coach helps people improve their relationships in all aspects of their life, from your family, friends, colleagues, and even strangers. A relationship coach helps relationships grow in self-awareness and trust, and in tools to help relationships mend or overcome friction, and show care for one another’s needs. Relationship coaching is the broad general coach that covers many different niches of relationship coaching as shown below.
Relationship Coaching is right for you if…

Partners (Couples Coach, LDR Coach, Mixed-Couples Coach, Marriage Coach)
A couples coach helps new or long-term couples deal with different issues that may arise as couples, and get better at being a couple. It’s not couple’s counseling or exploring emotional difficulties in a couple, but more about practical steps and solutions; a toolkit couples can use to navigate issues and grow the foundations of their relationship, reaching goals together.
For more niched relationship circumstances you can see a long-distance relationship coach (LDR) who specialises in helping couples who are trying to maintain a long-distance relationship, whether it be work, family, or visas keeping them physically apart. There’s also a mixed-couples cultural coach who helps people deal with a relationship that has different cultural or logistical aspects to it which are unique to mixed-couples relationships.
Taking this further, you also have a marriage coach (when married), who helps you set goals and overcome challenges in your marriage. It’s similar to couples coaching but a marriage can bring other challenges to consider. Marriage coaching leads coachees to take an active part in setting goals towards creating a better marriage together (only when something isn’t coachable is marriage counseling then recommended).

A family coach helps families through their development, from a newborn child to elder family life when kids have left the nest, to dealing with aging parents. Family is one of the most important and core parts of anyone’s life, so it pays to keep working on family challenges that arise.
A parenting coach helps parents be better and more balanced in fulfilling parenting duties whilst managing other life commitments. Kids can take up all your energy and time, especially when inexperienced new parents, so a parenting coach provides tools, ideas, and support to help parents through challenges and set parenting goals. Parenting is one of life’s greatest but challenging journey’s, so it pays to have some help along the way.

For specific relationship challenges you may seek out a specialist coach.
A divorce coach helps people going through a divorce, whether it be the ones divorcing or those affected by it, like children. A divorce coach will mentor you along the separation journey and provide practical tools to make it easier to cope with.
A breakup coach is an expert in helping those who have recently broken up and are struggling to focus in daily life or get over their breakup. A breakup coach will help you get your mojo back.

An aging coach is an expert in helping relationships where there’s an aging participant. If we consider how the last stage of human development is about ‘integrity or despair’, there’s often people who grow old and become miserable in their reflection in life, plus as parents age there’s issues in ensuring they are cared for properly. An aging coach can come in and help people in these scenarios.
Divorce Coaching is for you if…
