Relationship Coaching Certification and Training
COMMUNICATION. CHEMISTRY. CONFLICT RESOLUTION.
Relationship coaches find a passion in coming alongside others as they seek to improve their relationships. These professionals focus on how the lives of their clients intersect with others, and how to enhance those relationships. Their work is fundamental to human society, as they help people create healthier workplaces, stronger families, and a deeper sense of personal wellness.

What is a Relationship Coach?
Relationship coaches are professionals who partner with individuals, pairs, or groups to help them obtain better relational skills.
What are the different types of relationship coaches?
There are as many different relationship coaching niches as there are types of relationships including co-depencency recovery, marriage, pre-engagement, prosperity, dating, relationship repair, spiritual, spouse and partner, parent and child. Basically, you can mold your training to meet the needs of any type of personal and/or professional relationship you can imagine.
Just about every coach will likely work with a client who experiences relationship struggles, despite their niche. Understanding the basics of relationship management is crucial as coaches seek to help their clients reach a state of flourishing.
A person may seek out a relationship coach if they:
- Are looking to improve a relationship with a colleague
- Want to build stronger communication skills with their spouse or partner
- Are seeking to rebuild a relationship with a family or friend after a fallout
- Are seeking a romantic partner and want a healthy beginning to their partnership
- Are trying to develop a new relationship with their adolescent or young adult child
- Would like to improve their sex life
- Have recently changed family dynamics such as an adoption or blended family
- Have recently experienced or are contemplating a divorce
- Have trouble making friends or are wanting to make new ones

How Can I Use My Certified Relationship Coach Training to Build a Coaching Business?
Saturate Yourself with Education
Read all the books, listen to all the audiobooks, read all the blogs, watch all the YouTube videos, listen to all the podcasts — whatever your preferred learning method, do it all the time! Find yourself in the world of relationships. Be learning, writing, and chatting with friends about what you’re learning.
Choose a Coaching Niche
The more specialized your practice, the more likely you are to attract the clients who are looking for you. Focus on the specific problem you have a passion for helping others solve. For example: I help career-minded individuals create strong romantic partnerships. I help recently divorced women re-frame relationships. I help professionals develop healthy boundaries with their boss and colleagues.
Create a Coaching Business Plan
Once you’ve determined your niche (and it’s ok for that niche to change as you grow and develop as a coach!), put together a business plan to lay out your business strategy. How will you primarily reach your audience? What are your strengths? How will you get the word out? How will you engage your audience?
Coaching Practice. Practice. Practice!
Early on in your career, try to find as many practice clients as possible. Keep in mind that Relationship Coaching CTEDU certification will require 100 hours of practice coaching. This is an amazing and fun way to grow personally, get to know your potential paying clients, and network, network, network! Entering someone’s life as a coach is a sacred and beautiful thing, and the absolute best way to hone these skills is to create a regular practice.
