Life Coaching with Aleksandra Miciul
Frequently Asked Questions

​Life coaching is a professional, future-focused partnership that helps you gain clarity, confidence, and direction in your life. As your life coach, I support you in identifying what’s holding you back, strengthening your mindset, setting meaningful goals, and taking consistent, aligned action.
My coaching works through structured conversations, powerful questioning, mindset tools, and accountability. Rather than telling you what to do, I help you understand yourself better so you can make decisions that truly align with who you are and the life you want to create.
​
What does a life coach actually help with?
People work with me as a life coach when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, lost, or ready for their next chapter.
Life coaching can help with:

• Confidence and self-esteem

• Career clarity and transitions

• Life direction and purpose

• Relationships and communication

• Stress, balance, and wellbeing

• Mindset, resilience, and emotional strength

• Breaking unhelpful habits and patterns

My approach is holistic — I work with your mindset, emotions, identity, habits, and behaviour, because sustainable change happens when all of these are aligned.
​
Is life coaching worth the money?
Life coaching is worth the investment if you are ready to take responsibility for change in your life.
Many of my clients say coaching helped them:

• Stop repeating the same patterns

• Make clearer decisions with confidence

• Build healthier boundaries

• Improve their relationships

• Feel more grounded, motivated, and fulfilled

Coaching is not a quick fix. It’s an investment in how you think, respond, and live — skills that stay with you long after coaching ends.
​
How is life coaching different from therapy or counselling?
This is one of the most searched questions online.
Life coaching focuses on the present and the future. It’s action-oriented and goal-focused. Therapy often focuses on healing past trauma or managing mental health conditions.
If you are emotionally stable and want to grow, change direction, or improve your quality of life, coaching may be the right choice. Coaching does not replace therapy, but it can complement personal development and wellbeing.
​
Who is life coaching for?
Life coaching is for you if:

• You feel stuck or unfulfilled

• You lack confidence or clarity

• You’re at a personal or professional crossroads

• You want accountability and structure

• You’re ready to work on yourself honestly

You don’t need to have everything figured out — coaching is often where clarity begins.

What happens on a discovery call with a life coach?
A discovery call is a free, no-obligation conversation designed to support you.

During your call with me, we will:

• Talk about where you are in your life right now

• Explore what feels challenging or unclear

• Identify what you want to change or improve

• Discuss how my coaching approach works

You’ll leave the call with clarity about your next step, whether or not you choose to continue with coaching.

How long does life coaching take?
There is no fixed timeline for life coaching.
Some clients work with me for a few months to focus on a specific goal. Others choose longer-term coaching for deeper personal growth, confidence building, or mindset work.
The length of coaching depends on:

• Your goals

• The depth of change you want

• Your pace and availability

Coaching is always personalised.

What makes your life coaching different?

• Burnout and identity change

I combine this with certified coaching tools to support growth that is strong, balanced, and sustainable — not driven by hustle or perfectionism.

We regularly reflect on progress to ensure coaching is effective and aligned.
