What’s the difference between career coaching and life coaching?

As a qualified coach, I’m often asked ‘what’s the difference between career coaching and a life coaching?’

The truth is both career coaching and life coaching help you create a fulfilling life, but they focus on different aspects of your journey.

What is career coaching?

Career coaching helps you clarify your goals, build confidence and take strategic steps toward professional success. Whether you want to change careers, improve your job search, or prepare for interviews, career coaching provides the support and structure to help you achieve your ambitions.

What is life coaching?

Life coaching empowers you to overcome challenges, create balance and build a life that aligns with your values. Whether you want to boost confidence, manage stress, or gain clarity on your future, life coaching helps you take action toward lasting fulfilment.

Are career coaching and life coaching the same?

While career coaching and life coaching focus on different aspects of your life, they are closely connected:

Both support you in achieving your goals.

Both break down your journey into manageable steps so you can track progress.

Your career choices impact your life choices, and vice versa.

Your happiness is shaped by both your work and your personal life.

What’s next for you?

If you’re ready to make a change, whether in your career or personal life, coaching can help you take those first steps. I offer personalised coaching that focuses entirely on you, because there is no one-size-fits-all solution. As a qualified and experienced career, leadership and life coach, I use proven coaching techniques to support you on your journey to success.
