Is coaching regulated in the United Kingdom?

There is no national or international statutory or regulating body for life coaches. The basic fact is that anyone, with or without prior 'training' or experience, can set themselves up as a life coach. However, it's still important for you to present yourself in a professional way to attract and keep your clients. And we encourage training and mentoring for any serious coach.
