Life Coaching FAQs
How does online life coaching work, and is it as effective as in-person coaching?
Online life coaching works similarly to in-person coaching but is conducted through digital platforms such as video calls (Zoom, Skype), phone calls, or even via chat or email for follow-ups. Sessions typically last 45 minutes to an hour and are structured around the client’s goals, challenges, and action plans.
Steps in Online Life Coaching:
- Initial Assessment: The coach and client have an initial discovery session to discuss the client’s needs, goals, and any obstacles they may face.
- Goal-Setting: Together, the coach and client set clear, actionable goals that align with the client’s personal or professional aspirations.
- Regular Sessions: These are held weekly, bi-weekly, or as per the client’s preferences. During these sessions, the coach provides guidance, strategies, and accountability to help the client progress.
- Accountability Check-ins: In between formal sessions, some coaches offer short check-ins via messaging or email to ensure the client stays on track.
Online life coaching allows clients to work with coaches from anywhere in the world, eliminates travel time, and offers more scheduling options. The key to success in online coaching lies in consistency, the quality of the relationship, and the effectiveness of the strategies used by the coach.
What are the benefits of choosing online life coaching over in-person sessions?
Online life coaching offers several distinct advantages over traditional in-person sessions:
- Convenience and Flexibility: Online coaching allows you to schedule sessions at times that work best for you, without the need to travel to an office or meeting location. You can do it from the comfort of your home or even while traveling, as long as you have an internet connection.
- Access to a Wider Pool of Coaches: By choosing online life coaching, you are not limited to coaches in your local area. This means you can find a coach who specializes in exactly what you need, whether they are in another city or another country.
- Comfort and Privacy: Many clients find it easier to open up and be more vulnerable when they are in their own familiar environment, such as their home. This can enhance the effectiveness of the coaching process.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Since online coaching reduces overhead costs like office space for coaches, many offer more affordable rates for online sessions compared to in-person sessions.
- Consistency: Since sessions can be done from anywhere, it’s easier to maintain regularity in coaching, even if your schedule is busy or you need to travel. This consistency helps in achieving your goals faster.
What technology or tools do I need for online life coaching sessions?
The technology required for online life coaching is minimal, making it accessible to almost everyone. Here’s what you’ll need:
- A Stable Internet Connection: Since most sessions take place over video call, having a reliable and fast internet connection ensures smooth communication without interruptions.
- A Device with Audio/Video Capabilities: A laptop, smartphone, or tablet with a webcam and microphone is sufficient for most video conferencing tools like Zoom, Skype, or Google Meet. Some clients also prefer using headphones for better audio clarity.
- A Quiet and Private Space: It’s essential to have a distraction-free environment where you can speak openly and focus on the session without interruptions.
- Scheduling and Communication Apps: Some coaches use tools like Google Calendar, Acuity, or Calendly to book sessions. Email or messaging apps like WhatsApp may be used for follow-up communications and accountability check-ins.
- Note-taking Tools: It’s helpful to have a way to take notes during or after the session. This could be as simple as a notebook or using a note-taking app like Evernote or Google Docs.
Most coaches provide detailed instructions on the tools they prefer to use, but generally, the setup is simple and user-friendly.
Is online life coaching secure and confidential?
Yes, online life coaching is typically secure and confidential. Professional life coaches follow strict ethical guidelines to protect the privacy of their clients. Here are some common measures to ensure security:
- Encrypted Video Platforms: Most coaches use encrypted video conferencing platforms like Zoom, Skype, or Google Meet, which provide a secure connection between the client and coach.
- Confidentiality Agreements: Many life coaches provide clients with confidentiality agreements as part of their contract, ensuring that any personal information shared during the sessions is protected.
- Secure Communication Channels: Coaches use secure email and messaging platforms for any communications outside of the sessions, and they store client information securely.
- Ethical Guidelines: Certified life coaches adhere to ethical standards, often set by organizations like the International Coach Federation (ICF). This includes respecting client confidentiality and ensuring a safe and non-judgmental space for open communication.
If you have concerns about privacy or security, it’s important to discuss them with your coach upfront to ensure they take the necessary precautions.
How do I choose the right life coach for online coaching?
Choosing the right life coach for online coaching requires some research and self-reflection to ensure you find someone who aligns with your goals, values, and preferred communication style. Here are some tips for selecting the right coach:
- Assess Your Goals: Identify what you want to achieve through life coaching, whether it’s career advancement, improving personal relationships, or finding work-life balance. Look for coaches who specialize in those areas.
- Coaching Style: Coaches can have different approaches—some are highly motivational, while others are more structured and strategic. Researching or even scheduling a discovery call with potential coaches will help you understand their style and if it matches your personality and preferences.
- Testimonials and Reviews: Look for reviews, testimonials, or case studies from past clients. This will give you insights into the coach’s effectiveness and the kind of results they’ve helped others achieve.
- Chemistry: The relationship between you and your life coach is crucial. Schedule a trial or consultation session to see if you feel comfortable with them. Trust and open communication are key to the success of any coaching relationship.
- Coaching Format and Tools: Ensure the coach offers online sessions through platforms you’re comfortable with and provides the type of support you’re looking for (e.g., regular follow-ups, tools, worksheets, etc.).
By considering these factors, you can choose a coach who best meets your needs and is equipped to guide you through your journey.
Testimonials
Oscar
I came into contact with Chiara about a year ago when I was having a lost period in my life, I had a lot of confused thoughts bouncing around in my head and couldn't get myself out of this. We started by having 2 conversations every week where slowly but surely we moved forward and gradually I saw a light in all the darkness and started to feel better. Chiara is an exceptionally good listener who truly understands human psychology on a deeper level. She doesn't judge anyone for anything and when she talks it's like an angel sent from heaven with a message. I recommend anyone who is stuck in life in different ways to try a few conversations with Chiara to see if she can open up new thought patterns and come up with messages that help. For me, she will always have a special place in my heart.

Chiara is kind and understanding, and very good at listening, yet at the same time has great opinions that she knows how to express and are very insightful. She understands that problems can be complex and not black or white, and helps you navigate difficult situations and find solutions to problems. She has helped me recognise important truths that I wasn’t aware of, and I am so greatful for that! Whatever your problems are, or goals that you want to achieve, Chiara is a great partner by your side!

Paloma has helped me in different moments and aspects of my life. I feel that with her, I can talk about anything without feeling judged, and she helps me delve deeper and understand many of the concerns I have. She helps me move from a cloud of thoughts to something more concrete, so I can truly find possible solutions and take actions to improve my life. Regarding my relationship, she also helped me identify the origin of many fears, needs, disagreements... to reflect on them from self-awareness, empathy, but also by setting boundaries and affirming my self-worth as a person. I wholeheartedly recommend her services because you will truly see results.
