If you’re a woman in Surrey looking to lean in to your own personal growth and transformation, finding the right life coach will make all the difference. With so many options available, it can feel overwhelming to choose someone that you just don’t know or trust. But one thing’s for sure, it’s imperative that the connection feels right from the outset and that you feel comfortable and at ease. If you’re based in Surrey and looking for a life coach who truly understands your local community and personal challenges, here’s what to consider:
What to Look for in a Life Coach for Women
- Credentials, Authenticity & Experience – A certified coach with a strong track record can provide expert guidance to help you on the path to achieving your personal and professional goals. A certified coach should be ‘trauma-informed’ and able to guide you as to what services would suit you best given your circumstances – even if it is not the coaching in the first instance. You may have come across a coach through word-of-mouth recommendation, or have been inspired by your following them for some time. You may resonate with their story and their own journey and feel things in common from the offset, which is always a great starting point. Or you may have just searched for a Life coach for women online and come across some options. This is always a harder choice, and it’s imperative that you take up the complimentary call/introduction to see if you feel well-connected to them and feel that their coaching offer would be right for you.
- Coaching Style – Everyone has a unique approach. Do you prefer a structured method, or something more fluid? At Confidence Coaching With Claire, I usually bespoke my coaching depending upon the client’s learning style and preference. A coaching series will always have a loose and flexible structure from after the goal-setting session – but this is never rigid and it’s often beneficial to explore further as we go. I use a feelings-based coaching method which uses feelings and intrinsic factors as a measure for success.
- Testimonials & Reviews – Hearing from past clients can offer insight into their success stories. This is of particular relevance if you are looking into coaches without prior recommendation, or understanding of their coaching offering. You can read some of my reviews here.
- Connection & Trust – You should feel comfortable opening up to your coach and trust that they won’t judge you.
- Local Understanding – A coach familiar with Surrey’s unique lifestyle can offer a shared appreciation and tailored advice.
Benefits of Local vs. Online Coaching
While online coaching is convenient, working with a local coach provides additional benefits. In-person sessions create a stronger sense of accountability and connection. Plus, meeting face-to-face in a familiar Surrey location can make the process feel more personal and engaging. I have a warm, inviting coaching space in Staines, and in Addlestone, Surrey, where I see clients.
Why Confidence Coaching With Claire Stands Out
At Confidence Coaching With Claire, I specialise in helping women unlock their potential through personalised, compassionate support and guidance. Based in Surrey, I understand the local challenges and opportunities, ensuring that my coaching is both relevant and impactful. Plus I offer the flexibility of coaching via Zoom or in-person, both options of which aim to hold you at ease and in safe, brave space – be it online, or face-to-face – in Staines or Addlestone, Surrey.
My coaching is ‘feelings-based’ – which many of my clients have told me made all the difference to them, in their struggles with anxiety and overwhelm as they continue to manage hectic lives, with next to no time for themselves. Emotional regulation is paramount, not least for good mental health – but in the journey beyond simply surviving – to thriving.
I am a certified coach with the Beautiful You Coaching Academy and my coaching training changed my life – so that I am able to hold safe and brave space for women who need some gentle support and guidance to show up as better versions of themselves.
