Life Coaching Resources

Free guides, articles and insights from The Coaching Academy — covering everything from what life coaching is to how much coaches earn, how accreditation works, and where the profession is heading.

Introduction

What is life coaching?

Life coaching is the process of helping someone find the path between where they are now and where they want to be. A clear introduction to what coaches do and how it works.

Career

How much does a life coach earn?

From new coaches finding their first clients to full-time practitioners with thriving businesses — a practical guide to earnings, rates, and what affects your income.

Accreditation

Does life coaching have to be accredited?

Coaching is unregulated — so what does accreditation actually mean, and why does it matter to clients, employers and your own professional credibility?

Introduction

Coaching, counselling and mentoring — what's the difference?

These three practices are often confused. Understanding the distinctions helps you position yourself clearly and know when to refer a client elsewhere.

Industry

The future of AI and life coaching

AI is reshaping many industries — but why human-led coaching is likely to remain uniquely valuable, and why that makes accredited training more relevant than ever.

Background

The history of life coaching

Life coaching emerged in the 1980s, growing out of business and sports coaching. A look at where the profession came from and how it has developed.
