Sometimes we need more than love, comfort and nudging from friends and family to start making changes. If you are seeking some professional support to reach certain goals, turn to these well-qualified coaches in Hong Kong who are trained to offer the guidance you need.
We’ve all had that moment where we question the path we’re on. Not literally (although sometimes on a complicated hike, that too!) – we’re talking more about our life path, our career or our health.
Change can be a messy process, and we often need support to explore our choices, ensure they make sense and provide meaning to our lives. Many people who are considering retraining, upskilling or starting something new hire a coach to help them achieve their goals faster or to help them find clarity in the many choices or challenges in front of them. These are Sassy Mama’s top picks for life, parenting, health and career coaching.

What Is Coaching?
Before we begin, it’s important to understand what coaching is and how it can help us achieve our goals.
The International Coaching Federation, one of the leading coaching and accreditation organisations, defines coaching as:
“Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership.”
Coaching is sometimes confused with counselling, as both are focused on helping the individual move forward. Counselling can work with past pain and trauma, helping an individual to recover or heal and move ahead. It is a highly regulated industry and there are some excellent counsellors in Hong Kong.
Coaching, on the other hand, is future-focused. It uses frameworks, questioning and techniques to help individuals find clarity and awareness and move towards their desired outcome. Another difference is that currently, anyone can set up as a coach with minimum training.
How To Find A Coach In Hong Kong
Since it’s (relatively) easier to become a coach, you have to be careful about finding the right fit. It’s always best to check these two items before working with a coach:
Check the credentials of your chosen coach and whether they are relevant to their field or industry and your needs or goals.
Ask for a ‘chemistry’ meeting. This should be free of charge, to ensure you’re comfortable working together.
Our goals vary as we progress through life. Parents and expats in a new city know this more than others! Coaching is often focused on some key areas where we need support, or want to make improvements at the moment or with an eye to the future. With that in mind, here are some of the leading coaches in Hong Kong across various fields.
