Images and Photographs for Life Coaches


In most cases, a life coach will wish to convey a professional and inviting impression with their website. They will also be looking to emphasise a safe and trustworthy environment and give a reassurance that they can bring the client a sense of well being and a direction forward in their lives. Depending on the client, some life coaches will wish to convey a more therapeutic image, using photographs of clean and professional looking treatment rooms with comfy chairs and a positive environment for where their work takes place. Others will take a softer, more uplifting approach, using images of natural landscapes and vistas or of people with positive gestures that will help to create a calm, relaxed and yet motivated impression to their visitors.

Sourcing Images for a Life Coaching Website

You can take them yourself, but these days online image libraries are a fantastic resource of high quality, low cost and immense choice. In fact there are so many images online, that it is useful to experiment with keywords to find just what you are looking for.

The obvious starting point for an image for a life coaching website is to search for life coaching or counselling. However depending on how the photographer has tagged their image, it won't find everything that you may be looking for. Try searching for dialogue or talking perhaps. The other approach you can take is to type in mood keywords such as relax, as the emotional content of the website is all important.

A short list of words you might try for a life coach may include: support, treatment, dialogue, motivation, speaking, health, group, healing, positive, calm, conversation, balance, well-being, psychologist, advice and listening.

We often use Shutterstock for images for life coaching websites, as we find they have a good range of high quality photographs.
