How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data as of the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is each coach’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many clients have rated them, ranked against other London life coaches. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 built on over a hundred reviews counts for more than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently clients are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a life coach cost in London? (2026)

Life coaching in London is typically priced per session or as a multi-session package, and rates vary widely by coach experience and specialty. We don’t have a trustworthy cited source for exact figures across the coaches on this page, so ask each one directly for their current pricing.

Coaching across London

The life coaches above work with clients across London, from Chelsea and Mayfair to remote sessions available citywide and beyond. Searching for a life coach near me? Several offer in-person and video sessions, so check each listing for location and format before booking.

What to ask before you hire a life coach

  • What is your specific area of focus, and does it match what I’m working through?
  • Do you offer a discovery call before committing to a package?
  • What does a typical session look like, and how many sessions do most clients need?
  • Are sessions in-person, remote, or both?
  • What is your pricing structure, and is there a package discount?
  • What qualifications or training do you hold?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these life coaches?

We started from every life coach in London with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Is life coaching regulated in the UK?

Life coaching is not a regulated profession in the UK, so credentials and training vary between coaches. Ask directly about qualifications before booking.

How much does a life coach cost in London?

Pricing varies by coach and is typically charged per session or as a multi-session package. Ask each coach for their current rates.

The bottom line

Jael Ortega has the deepest review base here and is a safe starting point for executive or leadership-focused coaching, while Johnny Cassell and Nick Hatter serve more specific needs around confidence and therapeutic overlap. Book a discovery call before committing to a package.
