How exciting that you’re interested in becoming a Relationship Coach! This means you likely have a big heart and a passion for helping others build strong, healthy, loving relationships. We’re so glad you are here and can’t wait to support you in any possible way to pursue this calling.
Of course, before you can start effectively working with clients, you need to establish yourself as an expert in the field and build a strong foundation for your relationship coaching business.
Here are 5 steps to take if you’re looking to become a Relationship Coach:
Educate yourself.
To become a successful relationship coach, it’s important to have a strong understanding of human psychology, communication, attachment theory, nervous system regulation, conflict resolution, and the science of attraction, sexuality, and relating.
These topics are fascinating and completely life-changing to learn about and will not only help your clients — but all of your own relationships as well. It is an investment in learning that pays off for a lifetime.
We love and are so honored to give students the comprehensive roadmap for all-things-relationships in our Thriving Relationship Coach Certification program. (Of course, in the process, we are also passionate about guiding students through their own transformational process that improves their own relationships too).It is so exciting that, as we help others, our own life becomes exponentially better too!
- Have concrete tools.
Did you know research shows that couples often get worse after going to traditional relationship counseling? It’s sad but true. And there is a reason for this. Many well-meaning relationship and marriage therapists lack concrete tools to get couples out of conflict and on the path to thriving in their love.
We highly recommend that you have proven, powerful, and repeatable formulas and processes for couples to hold onto — and that they can go home with to keep practicing.
Your clients will feel deeply supported by this and will love the added value of feeling empowered with something practical, doable, and tangible.In our Thriving Relationship Coach Certification program, we are on a mission to help relationship coaches around the world know how to truly get results.
