生活教练帮助他们的客户确定一个具体的生活或职业目标, 明确实现这一目标所需的步骤，并制定行动计划. 人生导师还会帮助客户发现自己的优点, 影响他们行动计划的弱点和障碍.

最重要的是，专业的生活指导包括建立关系和信任. 生活教练必须能够与他们的客户建立创造性的伙伴关系，以:

• 确定并为客户的需求制定一个计划
• 修改和建立策略以实现客户的目标
• 鼓励自我发现、自我意识和自我成长
• Promote accountability and positive change

治疗师分析来访者的过去，帮助他们理解他们目前的行为, 生活教练会找出阻碍客户实现目标的障碍，并提出克服这些障碍的策略.

类似于生活教练和心理医生的区别, 教练与咨询不同，因为它侧重于目标设定，而不是心理健康. Ultimately, 这两种做法的目的都是在个人层面上帮助客户，但采取了不同的方法.

培训和认证可以帮助你在客户面前脱颖而出. 国际职业康复教练协会(IAPRC)和国际教练联合会(ICF)等认证组织遵循客户期望的道德标准.
