Instead of the problem focused approach adopted by CBT Counselling, CBT Life Coaching offers a solution focused approach to individuals who have already achieved success in some areas of their life but are looking to make a change in others. Rather than aiming to resolve a specific problem as in CBT Counselling, it takes a more holistic approach to maximising your current achievement and experience of life. Who is CBT Life Coaching for? CBT Life Coaching is a vehicle for life improvement for individuals who feel frustrated by and/or stuck in their current circumstances, who are experiencing a general dissatisfaction or sense of underachievement or who simply feel that things could be better.
