Life Coaching Course Kildare

Brideswell Counselling offers a structured Life Coaching Course in Kildare, designed for anyone seeking to move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and direction. Led by Margaret Kennelly, an experienced Kildare-based psychotherapist and life coach, this course is built around a five-part framework that supports real, lasting personal growth — not just short-term motivation.

Rather than telling clients what to do, this course helps clients understand why they do what they do, so they can identify their own barriers, set meaningful goals, and build the confidence to achieve them.

Our Life Coaching Framework

Connection

Every session begins with active listening. This means truly hearing the client — noting not only what is said, but what remains unsaid. This deep connection creates the safe, trusting foundation on which the rest of the coaching process is built.

Challenging

Change rarely happens without first understanding what's standing in the way. Together, client and coach work through personal barriers to change, gently challenging unhelpful patterns, assumptions, and habits that may be holding the client back.

Empathy

This course is rooted in empathy — understanding the client's feelings without judgement. Clients are met exactly where they are, creating a supportive space where honest reflection and personal growth can take place.

Inquiry

Rather than providing ready-made answers, this course focuses on inquiry: asking insightful, thoughtful questions that promote real insight. This process helps clients identify their own challenges and personal barriers, find their own solutions, and build lasting confidence in their ability to do so.

Goal Setting

The course keeps a strong focus on the client's present habits, goals, and personal growth. Realistic, achievable goals are set collaboratively, giving clients a clear sense of direction and measurable progress along the way.
