r/lifecoaching

Reddit's forum for life and mindset coaches — practice-building questions, ethics debates, and a healthy scepticism about the industry's own marketing.

What it is

A smaller, quieter forum than its fitness counterpart, covering how to find clients, whether a given certification means anything, and where coaching ends and therapy begins.

Best for

New life coaches calibrating expectations. The recurring scepticism about coach-the-coach programmes is a useful counterweight to the industry's own marketing.

Watch out for

Lower volume means thinner answers, and the referral question — when a client needs a therapist, not a coach — deserves a better source than a forum thread.
