Good work if you can get it.
There's always someone with such low self esteem that will willingly have someone else that they don't know to make all their descions for them.

"Does anyone else think this is a money for old rope type of profession?"
Not quite sure what you mean with your question OP? If you’re asking if life coaches are needed today, yes I think they are. Most people are lonely. Can’t ask anyone real for advice so often turn to the internet where it’s so easy to be overwhelmed. A life coach fills this gap.  |

When did people become so detached from their friends/family/social lives, that they feel paying a stranger to spout a few buzzwords is a better way to get through day to day life? |

"It really depends on what you mean. It may have overlap with psychology/ therapy, which is sorely underrated by a lot of people. "
I totally get that . My daughter has a Doctorate in psychology . My point is and apologies for being so vague and a tad open with the question .
But it seems anyone and his dog these days can call themselves a life coach . The courses seem very flimsy and two a penny . |

I was in the Irish pub the other night watching a group of maybe 10 people who were drinking together. Each one was fixated on their phone. A lot of people are detached today. A lot cannot relate to their family. Personally I think anyone who has a family who they can talk to or turn to in need is very, very luck indeed |

Like most of these bollocks professions; and I say profession very loosely, they started off in America.
I doubt you need and relevant skills to be one and it would be quite easy to do if your inclined to keep the money train going. |

Exactly. Has to be a flip side to everything... |

Quite right a support network is vital for well being . I do appreciate not everyone had that good fortune . My life coaches without sounding crass were my Mum and Dad . I also have coffee most days with a 93 yr old gym member who gives me pearls of wisdom ,, and for free  |

I’m sure there are good and bad life coaches. The qualification process doesn’t seem to be as rigorous as a qualified counsellor.
I guess it depends on whether they actually help make a difference.
Everyone has blind spots and an impartial independent view can be helpful. |

Some many years ago I (Mr) was struggling in a new role at work.
I took the opportunity of some life coaching and it really helped. There are still techniques I use today in particular situations.
I liked that it was a stranger. Helped me open up more, to be honest. |
