Life Coaching

FSEAP is pleased to annouce the addition of Life Coaching to our suite of integrated Work/Life services!

What is Life Coaching?
Life Coaching is a positive and energizing process that helps you to figure out what you want in your life - or some aspect of your life - and how to get it. The Life Coaching process is one of discovery, learning and personal development. Life Coaching assumes that you are the expert in your own life and that you are committed to taking action now to support your future life plans. The Life Coach therefore assumes the role of guide. Your Life Coach will help you to focus your plans, to discover and develop your  strengths and to explore strategies for achieving your goals. The goal of Life Coaching is to build your confidence and your ability to develop your own solutions. The International Coaching Federation also offers additional information about coaching and how it differs from counselling.  >>Learn more

FSEAP's Life Coaching sessions and service is offered via telephone and a personalized, secure Life Coaching website. Please note that telephonic coaching sessions are currently available 5 AM to 5 PM PT Monday-Thursday, and 5 AM to 2 PM PT, Fridays.

Who Should Use Life Coaching?
Life Coaching is an effective resource for employees, managers, individuals and families who are looking to make positive changes in almost any area of life, for example:

• Personal and career growth
• Personal health and wellness
• Work-life balance
• Life transitions
• Parenting and relationships

Life coaching is a great fit for clients who are highly self motivated and ready to take action to achieve their personal goals, whether they are personal or work related. For the best outcome, clients who engage in Life Coaching need to be motivated to read, do homework and practice strategies between sessions. It is a guided, but self motivated process.

How Does Life Coaching Work?
To request Life Coaching, call the toll-free number listed below or send an e-mail. A counsellor will ask you some questions to determine if Life Coaching is the best option for you. You will be assigned a Life Coach and an appointment time for your first consultation. Life Coaches are master’s level counsellors with specialized training and experience in life coaching. In addition to your coaching sessions, your Life Coach will provide you with access codes for your own personal Life Coaching Web site. This private Web site is available to you anytime 24/7, from anywhere with Internet access.

The site includes:

• A confidential message board for communicating with your Life Coach between scheduled telephone sessions
• A personal journal that you can use to make private entries, or to share with your Coach
• A library of articles, created just for you by your Coach and based on your life goals

Life Coaching is an active process of change and research shows that success is enhanced when clients practise strategies between sessions. Coaching sessions check your progress, support your learning and encourage new approaches.
