As your life coach, I assess what kind of coaching style to incorporate depending on what outcomes
you hope to achieve and how you wish to get there. I have an overall unique coaching style rooted
in three basic coaching style principles.
Holistic coaching looks at the client as a whole. This approach works on the basis that to address one issue, all issues surrounding it or connected to it anyway must also be addressed. Based on holistic coaching theory everything is interconnected and everything has a cause and effect.
When we change one aspect of our lives, all others invariably shift too. Life coaches specializing in holistic coaching looks at the client’s whole life in order to help them achieve a peaceful balance.

This approach is especially beneficial when addressing work/life balance. Holistic coaching is often used when addressing health and stress too.
Intuitive coaching aims to help the client access and develop their intuition. It follows the principles and teachings of traditional life coaching such as setting goals, creating action steps, and working on habits and beliefs- but unlike traditional coaching, the client is guided in a more spiritual way.
Intuitive coaching helps you to answer some of life’s primary questions:

Democratic coaching invites the client to participate in the coaching process by encouraging them to adopt a ‘self-coaching’ attitude. The coach’s role in the democratic approach is to outline the overall objectives but allow the client to suggest how he or she might reach them. Although a democratic coach might make the final decisions, he or she will base these decisions on the client’s own opinions and feelings.
The democratic coaching style encourages:
Good decision-making skills that can be applied to everyday life.
