Life Coaching Level 3

Are you the one that people come to when they have a decision to make? Are you the one who gives sound advice? Are you a good listener? Open minded and non-judgemental? Then why not turn this natural talent into something much more.

As a life coach, you would aim to support your clients to help them take control of their situation in areas such as relationships, careers, fitness, work-life balance and self-confidence. Life Coaching is not regulated in the UK, so anyone can work as a life coach if they feel they have the right skills and qualities. However, clients tend to favour coaches who have qualifications.

Mindfulness Level 3

There are three kinds of people in the world: Those living in the past, those thinking about their future, and those thriving in the present. When living in the past or future, we forget what matters most now.

Our mindfulness course gives you context, teaches you techniques and verified routines that help you focus on the present and become more aware of how your body, thoughts and feelings are connected. You’ll learn how mindful meditation can breed acceptance, suspend judgement, overcome anxiety and achieve relaxation. When using mindfulness methods, you can train about any brain to think positively.
