What Is Life Coaching According To Tony Healer?
Learn about our approach and what our Manchester life coach and personal breakthrough specialist has to say
"If I got paid for answering the question What is Life Coaching? I'd be able to retire by now" - Tony Healer
Since 2008, Tony Healer has supported clients in Manchester, London, and across the UK. In fact our online coaching sessions capability has been enjoyed across Europe, and North America. The coaching we are talking about is a dynamic conversation between the coach and the client, or "coachee" on a topic, situation, challenge or goal the client wishes to develop. The pace, purpose and drive of the conversation is determined by the client. The coach guides them to tap in to hidden potential which leads to empowering insights that deliver inspiring personal or professional growth. That "aha" moment of insight can literally change your life.
Our life coaching business is founded on solid development principles and high standards espoused by professional coaching bodies such as International Coaching Federation (ICF) or Association For Coaching (AC). We invite you to consider our business to be an important strategic alliance for your personal development needs.
If you're looking to achieve more, enhance your life, relationships, and career or business, a highly recommended coach will empower you to unleash your full potential. Tony specialises in helping people overcome internal obstacles and achieving personal breakthroughs.
What is Life Coaching and Personal Breakthrough For?
We are passionate about helping our clients move beyond comfort zone's. Whether it be through face to face coaching in Manchester or online Tony Healer will help you tap potential you never knew you had.
Our blend of life coaching and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is all about fostering positive and lasting personal change that you truly desire. Some people come with clear goals already laid out, while others start without a specific direction in mind. In fact, many use the Results Coaching Program to create and achieve an inspiring personal development plan.
If that is what life coaching is, who is coaching for?
Life coaching is for people who are ready to invest in themselves and commit to achieving more.
Whether the goal is career coaching, relationship coaching, health coaching, business growth or simply better work life balance our services will help you overcome obstacles that stand in your way. Tony's client base includes public services, private sector, charities, employees, business owners. It doesn't matter if you are at ground level or in supervision and even leadership roles. If your personal and professional development is important to you, life coaching should be a primary consideration for you.
An introduction to coaching appointment with Tony will help you identify the best approach and inspire you into action to get to where you want to be. We wont charge you, we wont "hard sell" any of our services. We will answer your questions and suggest best options.
Our Results Coaching Program will help you create a strategy for achieving your primary goals and clear action steps that you will take along the way. Your personal growth is what matters. The person you will become along the journey is someone your future self will be eternally grateful for. You might find yourself asking "why now, why should I make this change happen?" and your future self may ask why you didn't act sooner.
Our Personal Breakthrough Program will help you overcome emotional blocks, fears, phobias, limiting beliefs about your self and blow away obstacles in your path. Whilst we are not a mental health service people often find NLP or hypnosis sessions transformative and therapeutic. More about the difference between life coaching and therapy later.
All we need to ask is when would now be a good time for you to work with a professional life coach and personal breakthrough specialist?
Thats all great but what is life coaching NOT for?
One of the key benefits of life coaching is in the ability overcome obstacles and expand possibilities for the client. It is not a magic bullet. It is not passive on your part either. It takes effort, commitment, and the occasional touch of brutal honesty. Life coaching therefore is not for the faint of heart who have no real desire to overcome obstacles. They just continue their wishful thinking.
I just wish I could change my life ...
BUT I can't afford it
BUT I don't have time, I have so much to do …
BUT I’m too young, Ive got all my life ahead of me, why rush?
BUT it wont work for me, I already tried it once
BUT I'm too old, what do I need to change anyway?
Yes, they have huge BUT's" and just cant get off their "BUT" long enough to open the door when opportunity knocks. Investing in a life coach is not for them. So they remain stuck, but they usually have a great story to keep telling themselves. We hope that you are not one of them. We get it that your curiosity is just a starting point. We have some fantastic five star life coaching reviews from our incredible clients who say that Tony Healer Coaching really worked for them. Some of them even came to us with some pretty big "buts ... " so we helped them get rid of them:
"I'd really like to get a new job but I'm no good at interviews"
"I'd really like to lose weight but I know anything about nutrition"
"I'd really like to meet someone again but I'm too shy"
"I'd really like to start a business but I don't know where to start"
"I'd be a better boss than them but I just can't pass the exams"
"I should give up smoking but I don't have the willpower"
"I really want to see the world but I'm freaked out by the fear of flying"
The key difference for our clients is they stopped simply wishing their life away. They were the ones who got over their buts and took action to overcome obstacles and challenging periods in their life. And yes, they went on to achieve incredible things. Our Manchester Life Coach Tony Healer is probably not for you if you don't want to achieve any more than you are currently achieving. BUT, if you want to have more, do more, or even be more, then life coaching sessions could be the answer for you. There is only one way to find out what a life coach can do for you.

Ok so what is life coaching going to offer me?
The benefits you will gain through life coaching go way beyond the face to face or virtual sessions with your coach. In fact, your sessions are merely gateways to growth and new, exciting possibilities. You may have heard the phrase “success breeds success.” As you build momentum opportunities will continue to appear. The difference with life coaching is that you will be ready for them.
Life coaching is about achieving inspiring goals and overcoming hurdles that have held you back for years. It is also about the journey and what you will become along the way. When you overcome your "buts" in life your successes will begin to compound, year after year. Your results will be yours forever.
The power of life coaching is in the moments of discovery, or flashes of inspiration that open doors to resources you never you had. You may find yourself uncovering a long forgotten truth deep in your unconscious mind's library. Exciting gems that you once cast aside but can now re-shine and repurpose.
Have you attended our life coaching events?
Never be afraid of not being enough.
That fear is your potential going to waste.
Instead, you should fear never discovering how amazing you truly are.
What is the difference between life coaching and mentoring?
Life coaching and mentoring have a place in your personal journey depending on where you are.
Life coaching sets the vision and goal whilst mentoring develops skills and knowledge to achieve them. Another way to put this would be:
"A mentor will give you the answers, but an effective life coach intuitively asks the right questions" - Tony Healer
Let's say you wanted to learn life coaching skills and become a coach. You would start with why you want it. What would you do with those skills what kind of life coaching practice would you want to create. How would your life be when you achieve this? That is vision.
Next you would select a coach training school and enrol. Throughout your time you would learn conversation models and practice your technique. A mentor would help you hone your knowledge and skills to help you understand how a session works.
So a mentor can help you gain specific knowledge, skills and understanding whereas a coach will help you maximise your potential.
How is life coaching different to therapy?
Therapy assumes you have a problem, whilst life coaching assumes you have a goal. Therapy is used to treat or diagnose specific conditions. Severe emotional trauma, depression and anxiety may need professional medical support which where therapy may be useful. In order to offer therapy you must hold a professional license and be medically accredited. A psychologist can provide diagnosis, counselling and psychological therapeutic interventions for mental health issues. A psychiatrist can additionally prescribe pharmaceutical licensed drugs to treat symptoms of mental health challenges.
Certain talking therapies are actually closely related to coaching approaches.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for instance. CBT is a licensed talking therapy which is available for specific neurological interventions. If you consider what CBT means:
Cognitive - understanding how the mind works
Behavioural - resulting behaviours
Therapy - talking and guiding to positive outcomes.
Compare that with Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP):
Neuro - How the mind processes sensory stimulus
Linguistic - using language to elicit change
Programming - how we respond to sensory stimulus
NLP and life coaching are not licensed by medical boards. But that doesn't mean they are not effective.
Our life coaching and personal breakthrough services can change your life, but we not provide professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment for medical conditions.
Which Life Changing Coaching Program Will You Choose?
Base on what we have already shared with you here, the real question you should be asking yourself right now is not whether or not you should hire a life coach or NLP personal breakthrough specialist. A better question would be at what level do you want to achieve within a specific area or aspect of your life?
Can Tony Healer's coaching help you reach your highest potential or optimise your results here? The answer is a resounding "Yes!". The biggest thing holding you back right now isn't how much something costs, how long it takes to see results, or how hard you have to work. It isn't even lack of belief in the process. The real obstacle holding you back right now is your commitment to doing the things that need to be done.
You will only discover what life coaching is for you when you defy the odd's, set a new standard and step up. Life changing results follow life changing decisions. Make yours now to make a change your future self will thank you for.
To Your Success!
