SO YOU'RE INTERESTED IN PSYCHOLOGY AND BECOMING A PSYCHOLOGIST?

Have you ever considered a career in life coaching?

Life coaching offers an exciting alternative to psychology for people who are passionate about working with people to help improve their lives.

LIFE COACHING AS AN ALTERNATIVE to psychology

If you're interested in becoming a psychologist, then it stands to reason that you have an interest in human motivation and working with people.

It is therefore quite possible that you are ideally suited to a career in life coaching!

Psychology involves the scientific study of the human mind, including human thought, behavior, development, personality, emotion, motivation and more.

Life coaching is similar but has more to do with he application of psychology in optimising human motivation and behaviour, with a view to helping people live their best lives and get the most out of life.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME A LIFE COACH?

As with psychology, becoming a practising life coach requires extensive training. However, the training is generally less academic in nature, more geared towards application in real life and therefore more life changing in its effect.

With an institution such as New Insights you can train remotely and in your own time and at your own pace, through our acclaimed and internationally accredited home study programme.

This involves comprehensive skills training theory and practical training that provides everything you need to start and sustain a career as a professional life coach. The best part is that this all costs a fraction of what it would cost to gain a degree in psychology.

The duration of the training will depend on you but most of our trainees who study and practice in their own time complete within 9-15 months.

WHAT ABOUT PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION?

Unlike with practising psychologists, life coaches are not governed by statutory regulation.

Although it is entirely voluntary, many certified life coaches do choose to join a reputable coach representative body such as the ACCPH and/or the ICR to promote their ongoing professional development.
