Start with What You Actually Need
Before diving into your search, take a moment to get clear on why you’re seeking a life coach. Are you feeling burned out? Struggling to make confident decisions? Trying to launch a business but stuck in analysis paralysis?
Life coaches aren’t one-size-fits-all. The best ones specialize in what you actually need—whether it’s help with imposter syndrome, ADHD productivity, emotional clarity, or work-life balance. Ask yourself:
What am I trying to shift or change in my life right now?
Do I want support with mindset, structure, or emotional patterns?
What kind of energy or communication style helps me feel seen and empowered?
This reflection will help you weed through options and find someone who fits—not just someone who posts fancy quotes online.
Look for Credentials and Vibes
While the coaching industry is intentionally accessible and doesn’t require a license to practice, not everyone who calls themselves a coach has the training or ethical grounding to back it up. That’s why it’s important to do your homework—because coaching, when done right, is a powerful and transformative profession.
Many excellent coaches pursue rigorous certification, such as through the International Coaching Federation (ICF), even though it’s not legally required. That’s a sign of commitment to both integrity and impact.
A good coach will have:
Relevant training or certifications
A structured process (not just “vibes”)
Testimonials or results that show real transformation
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) is the most widely respected certification body in the coaching world. They set ethical standards and require accredited hours, mentor coaching, and evaluations. Coaches who are ICF-certified have gone through legit training—not just a weekend course or YouTube binge. Although most of them agree that there’s no actual regulations by law.
Their Credentialed Coach Finder Tool is a great place to start.
Therapists Who Coach = A Secret Weapon
Here’s something not enough people talk about: therapists who also coach often bring the best of both worlds.
Unlike uncertified coaches who aren’t regulated, licensed mental health professionals:
Are trained in ethics, behavior, and boundaries
Understand how to differentiate between coaching and therapy
Know how to help you navigate mindset blocks and emotional blind spots
Have years of clinical experience in problem-solving and progress tracking
But there’s more: if you’re looking for a coach who uses advanced brain-body techniques like Brainspotting, pay attention to their training.
Bonus: Brainspotting as a Coaching Tool
Brainspotting (BSP) is a powerful, neuroscience-informed tool that helps people process stress, unlock clarity, and regulate emotional overwhelm by working with the brain’s natural healing mechanisms. And unlike most somatic or trauma-related modalities, Brainspotting can be used in coaching with the proper training—even by helpers who don’t have clinical training.
That said, it should only be used to support personal growth and performance enhancement in a coaching setting—not for treating trauma, PTSD, or clinical diagnoses unless you’re working with a licensed mental health professional.
When integrated ethically and skillfully, BSP in coaching can help you:
Break through subconscious blocks
Get unstuck in areas where talking alone isn’t enough
Move from analysis paralysis to embodied clarity
I use Brainspotting-informed coaching in a way that respects both your nervous system and your goals—especially for high achievers who want more than just mindset work.
Red Flags: Run the Other Way If…
They promise quick-fix results without showing you how
They lean heavily on hype, “manifesting,” or vague mindset shifts without structure
There’s no clear coaching framework, or their offers feel like a one-size-fits-all experience
They cross into therapy territory without a license (e.g., processing childhood trauma or diagnosing mental health)
You deserve a coach who knows their limits, stays in their lane, and respects yours.
