Life Coach

[Lotsofdifferentthings]

I help people solve issues in their relationships, with parenting, anxiety, stress and more

Biggest thing people come to me for is to get over trauma. My technique doesn't require you to relive the past or talk about the details of what happened in order to get over it.

Go for it. I'll try and answer as much as I can.

It certainly has been an enlightening and intriguing mumsnet thread this one has turned out to be,

it did cross my mind to the image of the wise woman in the village idea too,
so i can see where you are coming from, and other aspects of your recent post,

but i still think 🤔 that their still needs to be more robust nessaarey qualifications and experinces, attached to this more contemporary wise woman of the woods, role of life coaching then,

what springs to mind for myself let's think of of proffession of midwifery
even though unoffocial midwifery has existed happened since ancient times,
by the wise women of the village in olde worlde times,
obviously gradually society realised the importance and relevance of how wise women who delivered babies into the world to have nessarery qualifications to go with their experince too.

Do you see understand where i am coming from with my angle on this mumsnet thread @Lotsofdifferentthings ?

This isn't qualified MH professionals approaching this thread with a 'holier than thou' attitude because they have more qualifications. Also what @Sunflower8848 says is true, that relational alliance is very important and sometimes people are more natural at this. But then so are sales people.

What is horrifying about this thread is the complete lack of ethics and supervision of someone with an unspecified psychology course, practising an unspecified technique which can only be explained over six months to a year, so shrouded in mystery that it can't even be named. They have poor safeguarding knowledge and they are working with very vulnerable people. Even shit practitioners in the NHS have a professional body, an NHS trust to complain to, and CPD requirements. This person lacks so much knowledge that they don't even realise that supervision is not only for clinical roles.

Its sickening to be honest.

Interesting post, thanks.

To be fair, I think you'd have to be mad to see anyone who is unqualified if you have trauma, but that's their responsibility.

I don't have much experience seeing life coaches in action or on social media in my circles, but I do come across a LOT of business coaches. Totally different I know but what I find galling about them is usually they've spent 20 years as a salaried employee in say marketing or HR, and they wake up one day thinking "I know, I can coach other people to set up and develop a business". Its insane. Like, if you're going to be a business coach, I expect you to have 20 years experience successfully creating and building businesses.

@Finlesswonder
I found your mumsnet post very interesting and insightful too,

Good post

@Martinii

Totally agree with your post too

that's a very valid and insightful perspective on idea of life coaching specifically should be about,
Could, fulfil that, helping people clients emotionally..

It's what i thought a life coach did anyway,

not additional trauma based support too.😳

@Lotsofdifferentthings

Its quite weird and you are well out of your depth terriority in involving yourself with having anything to do with trauma based deeply embedded issues...

Not too much, but so much. The people I've looked at before are always charging around £2,500 as a minimum, for the most basic service. I have seen others charging more.

To be honest, I'm surprised that as a life coach you are helping people to manage trauma. I didn't think that's what life coaches did. I thought it was to help people get their lives together and find a way forward to attain their personal and career goals and dreams. That's what makes me think I could do with a life coach. If I wanted to grapple with my trauma, I'd not think a life coach was the person to help me do that.

I thought that certain persistent posters could stop putting the boot in now, but I don't know. Do you really think trauma is something you should be handling as a life coach? I haven't actually read all of your replies, so maybe you've already answered that question.

Edited for clarity in one sentence.

Ask Me Anything but don't ask me that.....

I think OP has quit.

It’s honestly shocking that someone with no qualifications is running a business helping people work through trauma…

Yes a for profit business,charging fees to work in an area she has no skills in eg trauma. Buoyed by self belief and an online course is now implementing undisclosed techniques with clients who have experienced trauma
