Vancouver Life Coach

If you are looking for a life coach in Vancouver, you are probably not looking for more advice. You are looking for a conversation that helps you see clearly, think honestly, and move forward. People usually reach out when something in life is no longer working the way it used to.

A relationship is under strain.

A career path no longer fits.

A decision has you circling for too long.

A pattern keeps returning.

That is where coaching can help. My work brings life coaching and mindfulness together. We do not only talk about what you want to change. We also look at the habits of thought, reaction, and attention that may be keeping you stuck.

This is one-to-one work for people who want thoughtful conversations.
Clear attention.
Honest reflection.
A better way of meeting what their life is asking of them now.

Coaching gives you a place to slow down, say the actual thing, and work through what is happening with someone who has no stake in your choices other than helping you see clearly.

How I work

Who comes to work with a Vancouver life coach

Some people arrive mid-career. They have built something real — a title, a reputation, a life that looks right from the outside — and then one ordinary Tuesday they sit down and realize they have no idea what they actually want anymore. Not a crisis. Just a quiet wrongness they have been ignoring for longer than they'd like to admit.

Some are facing a decision that keeps circling. Stay or go. Try or wait. Say the thing or keep the peace. They've talked it through with their partner, their closest friend. Everyone has an opinion. What they don't have is clarity.

Some come at midlife — not because everything has fallen apart, but because something has shifted underneath. The goals that once drove them no longer do. They're not depressed. They're not lost. They're asking a different kind of question now, one that doesn't have a LinkedIn answer.

Some are going through a relationship that's under real strain. Or a career that no longer fits the person they've become. Or a pattern — of avoidance, of overwork, of self-doubt — that returns no matter how many times they resolve to change it.

Some are building something new. A business, a second chapter, a way of living that feels more honest. They don't need more information. They need a thinking partner.

What most people share is this: they want a conversation with someone who has no stake in what they decide. Someone who will listen without an agenda, reflect without judgment, and ask the question that actually gets somewhere.

That's what this work is.

"I work with people in Vancouver and across Canada as a virtual life coach — by phone and Zoom, wherever you are.

David was my first entry into the realm of coaching, and while I was already convinced after our first consultation - his unique ability to be unwavering throughout the process, while I underwent a variety of changes, has quickly become an incredible anchor point in my own journey. He’s been a wise and gentle guide on the path to self discovery.

David Gomes has been a tremendous coach. I have grown a lot during this fantastic journey with him. When I was confused, he inspired me, when I was depressed, he supported me, when I was exploring, he walked with me.
My appreciations to David, for teaching me to be patient, for shining a light on my darkest road, for coaching me to reveal my true self. Plus, his words echo, this will always remind me about what I have learned on my path going forward.

I came to David in a good place, and looking for more. Together we worked on some great self discovery. I came out the other end with a completely opened awareness on what I wanted from life and how to get there. When we started, I didn’t know what it was I needed to take my life to the next level. It was working with David that allowed me to discover that. It’s been life changing. I can’t say thank you enough.
