Get clarity on the goals worth chasing
Build habits that hold up on the hard weeks
Have someone by your side keeping you accountable
When did I put this on hold?
You had some idea of how this was going to go. The work you’d do, the marriage you’d have, the person you figured you’d turn into. Then everything got busy. Job, kids, the stuff that has to get done before tomorrow, and somewhere in all of it you stopped thinking about the rest.
Now you’re sitting in the car in the driveway saying, “I’ve lost sight of why I started,” or “I don’t even know what I want anymore.” Nothing’s falling apart. You’re just running on empty, getting pulled in six directions, and getting through the week takes everything you’ve got. Knowing what comes next is so hard.
At Valiant Couples Therapy & Consulting, life coaching gives you a place to be heard, remember what you’re aiming at, and put a plan behind it.

Who is Life Coaching For?
Life coaching is for people who are generally doing well but want clarity, direction, and someone walking with them. It’s for those who:
- Want to move forward in their career, relationships, motivation, or personal growth and need a plan to get there.
- Keep setting goals that fall apart by the third week and want habits that hold.
- Are facing a transition, a decision, or a season of change and want to think it through out loud with someone.
Life coaching provides an encouraging, future-focused space to name your goals and go after them, allowing you to move forward with greater clarity, motivation, and confidence. It isn’t therapy, and if therapy is the better fit, we’ll tell you.

What is Life Coaching?
Life coaching is a forward-focused partnership that helps you name what you want, recognize the gifts you already have, and build a plan to move toward it. At Valiant Couples Therapy & Consulting, coaching is centered on goal setting, motivation, and accountability, with each session shaped around the direction you’re heading rather than a set curriculum. Coaching isn’t therapy and isn’t a clinical service, so a coach doesn’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions.
Working with a certified life coach gives you a place to think out loud, get honest about what’s standing in your way, and take steps you’ll be held to. Judy Cheney, our Certified Life Coach, meets with adults in person at our Fuquay-Varina office, with daytime and evening sessions available. She walks alongside you as you sort out what matters, name your goals, and start building habits that hold.
Through personalized coaching, you’ll gain clarity, strengthen your follow-through, and make progress in the areas you’ve been putting off, including your career, your relationships, and your personal growth. For clients who want it, coaching can include your Christian faith and how your beliefs shape the goals you’re setting. We believe you already have what it takes, and coaching helps you put it to work.

How Life Coaching Can Help
Coaching turns “someday” into something you’re intentionally working on this week. Here’s what changes when you have a plan and a partner:
Clarity about what you want
Get past the noise and name the goal underneath it.
Motivation that lasts
Reconnect to why this matters to you, not why it should.
Accountability that keeps you moving forward
Your life coach checks in, celebrates the wins, and asks about the parts you'd rather skip.
Habits that are sustainable for your life
Build routines that survive a full calendar and a hard season.
Stronger relationships
Show up more present and more intentional with the people who matter most.
Confidence in your own gifts
Stop hiding behind your weaknesses and start leading with your strengths.
Through goal setting, honest conversation, and genuine encouragement, coaching helps you take the next step and then the one after that.
Coaching is a commitment to the life you still want to build.

Questions About Life Coaching
How is life coaching different from therapy?
Life coaching gives you clarity and accountability to reach a specific goal. It’s positive, encouraging, and future-focused, and it’s built to improve your performance and your satisfaction with life in general. Therapy focuses on treating mental health concerns, emotional distress, and psychological patterns. Different tools, different purposes. Learn more about how life coaching can help.
How do I know whether I need therapy or life coaching?
Coaching may be a good fit when you’re generally functioning well but want help gaining clarity, making changes, reaching goals, or navigating a transition. Therapy may be the better fit when emotional distress, trauma, relationship difficulties, or mental health symptoms are getting in the way of your daily life. If you’re unsure which one you need, book a consultation, and we’ll help you sort it out.
How long is your program?
Most clients are well on their way in four sessions, though there’s no single timeline. Some people use coaching for a short stretch to work through a specific decision or transition. Others work with a coach over several months while they pursue a larger personal or professional goal.
What are some common reasons someone would seek out a life coach?
A life coach can help with career direction, relationships, motivation, habits, setting goals, and personal growth. People often come in during a transition, after a long season of putting themselves last, or when they know what they want but can’t seem to get traction on it.
Can life coaching include my Christian faith?
Yes, for clients who want it. Coaching can incorporate Christian faith and values, including spiritual reflection and how your beliefs shape your goals and decisions. Faith integration is based on your preferences and isn’t required to participate in coaching.
Do I need a specific goal before I start?
No. Plenty of people show up knowing something needs to change without knowing what. Figuring that out is part of the work. Come with the vague version, and we’ll sharpen it together.
What happens in a coaching session?
You talk, Judy listens and asks questions, and you leave with something to work on before the next one. Sessions are conversational, not lecture-style. You set the direction, and she helps you get there.
Is life coaching covered by insurance?
No. Coaching isn’t a clinical service, so it isn’t billable through insurance, and there’s no superbill. We’ll go over cost on your free consultation.
What does "certified life coach" mean?
It means Judy completed formal coach training rather than picking it up along the way. Coaching isn’t a licensed profession the way therapy is, so certification is worth asking any coach about.
Are our conversations private?
Yes. What you talk about stays between you and your coach. Coaching isn’t a clinical service, so it doesn’t carry the same legal protections as therapy records, and we’re glad to walk you through what that means before you start.

What Can Life Coaching Help Me Achieve?
Coaching changes how you move through your own life. Working with a certified life coach, you can:
- Feel seen, heard, and understood. Have a place where someone hears you out without rushing you.
- Find a sense of belonging. Know you have someone in your corner as you go after this.
- Take the next step. Feel encouraged and empowered to move instead of circling the same decision.
- Recognize your strengths. Get comfortable using what you're good at rather than hiding behind what you're not.
- Build habits that last. Turn the plan into a routine that holds when the week gets full.
- Love the person God made you to be. Come back to yourself with more grace than you've been offering lately.
