Become a Belief Clearing Coach
Introduction: Why the World Needs Belief Clearing Coaches
More and more people are discovering the power of belief clearing—the ability to identify and dissolve the limiting beliefs that quietly shape our lives. From money blocks to self-doubt, from relationship struggles to performance anxiety, it’s often not circumstances that hold people back, but the beliefs they carry about themselves and the world.
Naturally, this has created growing interest in how to become a belief clearing coach. Maybe you’ve already experienced the impact of a belief clearing session yourself. Maybe you’re a coach, therapist, or leader who wants to add this powerful skill to your practice. Or maybe you simply feel called to help people break free from their inner limitations.
Here’s the good news: you don’t need to spend thousands on a flashy certification course to get started. The truth is, becoming a belief clearing coach is less about collecting credentials and more about developing confidence, clarity, and presence.
Yes—there are excellent programs and methods out there (from the Lefkoe Method to NLP and beyond). But before we get to comparisons, the most important thing to know is this:
Clients don’t care about your certificate. They care whether you can actually help them clear the belief that’s holding them back.
In this post, we’ll explore why belief clearing matters, what makes a great belief clearing coach, how the most popular methods compare, and how you can begin practicing—even without formal certification. We’ll also touch on the advanced path for those who do want structure, mentorship, and mastery through a dedicated training program.
If you’ve ever wondered how to start, this guide will show you the path.
Why Belief Clearing Matters
Every human being lives inside a framework of beliefs. Some of these are empowering: “I can learn anything if I try,” or “There’s always opportunity.” Others are invisible barriers that quietly shape our decisions, actions, and results:
“I’m not good enough.”
“I don’t deserve success.”
“Money is hard to make.”
“I’ll be abandoned if I speak my truth.”
Beliefs like these often form in childhood, through repeated experiences or meanings we gave to events at the time. They become the unconscious rules by which we run our lives.
The problem? Many of those rules are outdated, inaccurate, and deeply limiting.
That’s why belief clearing is so powerful. Instead of treating symptoms—like procrastination, fear of failure, or relationship drama—it addresses the root cause. By identifying and dissolving the limiting belief itself, the problem doesn’t just “get managed”—it disappears.
For clients, the results can be life-changing:
Greater confidence in their work and relationships.
Freedom from anxiety, guilt, or fear.
More energy and focus for what matters most.
The ability to make decisions without second-guessing.
For coaches, this makes belief clearing one of the most impactful tools you can possibly offer. Unlike surface-level motivation or advice, belief clearing gives clients a permanent shift in how they see themselves and the world.
This is why the role of a belief clearing coach is so important. You’re not just guiding conversations—you’re helping people dismantle the inner walls that have held them back for years. Few coaching skills create such immediate, lasting transformation.
And here’s the best part: the core skills of belief clearing—listening, presence, curiosity, and guiding someone through a structured process—can be learned and practiced by anyone committed to growth. You don’t need to wait for permission to start.
What Makes a Great Belief Clearing Coach
If you’re thinking about becoming a belief clearing coach, you might assume that what matters most is taking the right course, learning the right script, or collecting certifications. While those can help, the truth is simpler: what makes you effective as a belief clearing coach is who you are in the session.
Here are the qualities that matter most:
1. Confidence
Belief clearing is a structured process. If you hesitate, second-guess, or keep checking your notes, your client will feel it. Confidence doesn’t mean arrogance—it means trusting the process and holding space for the client to move through it.
2. Presence
One of the most powerful parts of belief clearing is simply being fully present with someone. Clients often share vulnerable material. A great coach listens deeply, stays grounded, and doesn’t rush to fix or interpret. Presence alone creates a sense of safety that allows beliefs to surface.
3. Clarity and Script Integrity
At least at the beginning, staying on script matters. The “blind leading the blind” problem happens when new practitioners start improvising before they’ve mastered the basics. A skilled belief clearing coach understands the structure of the process and follows it with precision. Once mastery is achieved, innovation becomes possible.
4. Curiosity
Limiting beliefs hide under layers of stories, justifications, and half-truths. Curiosity—gentle, persistent, non-judgmental questioning—is the tool that uncovers them. A belief clearing coach doesn’t tell clients what their belief is. They help the client discover it themselves. Of course, if they get stuck, there are respectful ways of suggesting, asking and even testing the beliefs you think your client may have. But we never tell clients "You have this belief X". That would not be coaching.
5. Holding Space for Breakthroughs
When a belief dissolves, clients often experience emotional release—relief, laughter, even tears. A great coach knows how to stay calm, supportive, and spacious in those moments, without trying to manage or control them.
6. Integrity
Ultimately, belief clearing is not about performance—it’s about service. Clients trust you to guide them safely. A great belief clearing coach always works with integrity, avoids overpromising, and respects the boundaries of the process.
The point is this: a certificate on the wall won’t make you a great belief clearing coach. These qualities—confidence, presence, clarity, curiosity, integrity—will. And they can be developed through practice, feedback, and a genuine commitment to helping people.
This is why, even before you consider certification, you can start practicing these skills right now.
Comparing Popular Belief Clearing Methods
If you search for “belief clearing” or “how to remove limiting beliefs,” you’ll quickly find a variety of approaches. Each has its strengths, and many overlap. But after exploring and practicing these methods over the past two decades, I’ve noticed that the coach matters more than the brand name of the method.
That said, here’s a look at some of the most well-known belief clearing processes:
The Lefkoe Method
Perhaps the best-known dedicated belief clearing process. The Lefkoe Method is highly structured and designed to dissolve limiting beliefs by revisiting the original meaning we gave to events in childhood.
Strengths: Clear step-by-step process, repeatable results, strong track record with common beliefs (e.g., “I’m not good enough”).
Limitations: Because it’s scripted, beginners can sound mechanical if they haven’t developed presence and confidence.
The Clear Beliefs Method (Lion Goodman)
This method integrates elements of inner parts work, somatic awareness, and belief inquiry. It’s broader than the Lefkoe Method and includes emotional release as part of the clearing.
Strengths: Holistic approach, deeper exploration of trauma and subconscious material.
Limitations: More complex to learn, can overwhelm beginners who don’t have a solid coaching foundation.
NLP Belief Change Techniques
Neuro-Linguistic Programming includes several techniques for changing beliefs, often using visualisation, reframing, or “submodality shifts.”
Strengths: Fast, creative, flexible.
Limitations: Some techniques are superficial—beliefs may reappear if deeper structures aren’t addressed.
Transformational Processing / IFS / The Work
Other approaches like Transformational Processing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), or Byron Katie’s “The Work” each offer unique pathways.
Strengths: Can reach very deep levels of self-awareness and integration.
Limitations: Less structured, requires high skill to guide effectively without getting lost in the content.
The Key Takeaway
Every method works when the coach brings presence, curiosity, and integrity. And every method fails when the coach relies on scripts without confidence.
This is why I teach that becoming a belief clearing coach is less about picking the “perfect” method and more about developing yourself as a practitioner. The structure matters—but you are the system.
Do You Need Certification to Become a Belief Clearing Coach?
One of the biggest questions people ask is: “Do I need a certificate to start belief clearing with clients?”
The simple answer: No.
Clients rarely ask to see a certificate on the wall. What they care about is whether you can help them clear the belief that’s keeping them stuck. If you have the skill, confidence, and presence to guide them through the process, that’s what matters most.
In fact, some of the most effective belief clearing coaches I’ve met aren’t “certified” in the traditional sense. They’ve practiced, refined their skills, and learned by doing. Their confidence and clarity create the trust their clients need.
That said, there are good reasons to pursue a structured certification path:
It provides a clear framework and step-by-step learning.
You get feedback and supervision instead of figuring it all out alone.
It signals professionalism and high standards when you present yourself as a coach.
It ensures you’re not just experimenting—you’re practicing a tested method with integrity.
This is why I’m currently developing the Belief Clearing Coach Certification Program—a structured path for those who want to go deeper. It will cover:
The foundations of belief clearing (why beliefs matter, how they form, and how to dissolve them).
Step-by-step practice in finding and clearing limiting beliefs.
Troubleshooting when a belief won’t clear.
Internship-style peer practice, supervised feedback, and mentor sessions with me.
A mastery level for those who want to innovate and contribute to the field once they’ve mastered the basics.
The goal isn’t to create another “weekend certification.” The goal is to set a high standard for belief clearing coaches, so that the work has real credibility and real impact.
If you’re curious about becoming certified in this way, stay tuned. I’ll be opening the first training cohort soon. In the meantime, remember: you don’t need to wait for a course to begin. Start practicing the fundamentals now—confidence, presence, curiosity, and clarity.
How to Start Practicing Belief Clearing (Without Waiting for a Course)
You don’t have to wait for a formal training program to begin sharpening your belief clearing skills. In fact, the best way to build confidence is through deliberate practice. Here are some practical steps you can take right now:
1. Work on Yourself First
The best belief clearing coaches start by using the process on their own beliefs. Identify a recurring negative thought (e.g., “I’m not good enough”) and walk yourself through the structure. By clearing your own limiting beliefs, you’ll both gain confidence in the process and embody what it feels like for clients.
2. Practice with a Peer or Partner
Pair up with another coach or a trusted friend who’s open to the process. Take turns running belief clearing sessions on each other. Don’t aim for perfection—focus on staying present, asking curious questions, and following the structure.
3. Record and Review Your Sessions
Listening back to your own coaching is one of the fastest ways to improve. Notice where you lost presence, rushed, or added unnecessary commentary. Notice where you stayed calm and curious. Reviewing your own recordings helps you develop self-awareness as a practitioner.
4. Keep a Session Log
Track each practice session in a simple spreadsheet or notebook. Include:
The belief cleared.
Notes on what went well.
What you’d do differently next time.
This builds both confidence and a record of progress.
5. Start Small, Then Expand
Begin by offering belief clearing to a small number of clients (friends, colleagues, peers) at no cost or for a small practice fee. As your confidence grows, begin charging. The best way to learn is through real sessions with real people—not endless theory.
6. Stay on Script Until You’ve Mastered the Basics
At the beginning, resist the urge to innovate. The danger of improvising too soon is that you dilute the process and create confusion. True mastery comes after repetition. Once you’ve run dozens of sessions confidently, then you can explore creativity.
The point is this: you don’t need to wait. You can start practicing today. Confidence comes from doing the work, not from waiting for permission.
The Advanced Path: Becoming a Professional Belief Clearing Coach
Once you’ve practiced belief clearing on yourself, peers, and early clients, you’ll reach a point where you want to go further. This is where the path shifts from “experimenting” to becoming a professional belief clearing coach.
Here’s what that journey looks like:
1. Work with Real Clients
There comes a time when practice partners aren’t enough. Working with paying clients introduces new dynamics: performance pressure, diverse belief systems, and the responsibility of delivering results. This is where your confidence and structure will be tested—and strengthened.
2. Integrate Belief Clearing into Your Coaching Practice
Belief clearing isn’t just a standalone process. It fits beautifully into many contexts:
Life coaching: Helping clients dissolve beliefs around worth, love, or identity.
Executive coaching: Clearing beliefs around leadership, money, and authority.
Therapeutic support: Complementing other modalities with direct belief work.
Specialised niches: From trading psychology to wellness coaching, belief clearing adds a powerful edge.
3. Seek Supervision and Feedback
Every great coach benefits from having someone more experienced review their work. This prevents the “blind leading the blind” problem and accelerates mastery. Recording sessions and receiving feedback helps you sharpen your presence and troubleshoot challenges.
4. Move Toward Mastery
True mastery means more than just being confident with the script. It means:
Being able to troubleshoot when a belief won’t clear.
Knowing how to handle complex client resistance.
Innovating responsibly—integrating other tools and adding your own creative refinements after you’ve mastered the basics.
5. Certification and Professional Standards
While certification isn’t strictly necessary to practice, it becomes important if you want to:
Position yourself as a high-standard professional.
Reassure clients who value credentials.
Join a community of practitioners who share best practices and uphold integrity.
This is why I’m developing the Belief Clearing Coach Certification Program. It’s not about handing out quick certificates—it’s about creating a standard of excellence in the field. Trainees will practice under supervision, receive direct feedback, and demonstrate competence through real client sessions. Mastery level will require innovation and proof of results, not just attendance.
The Vision
The world doesn’t need more paper-certified coaches. It needs practitioners who can help people permanently dissolve the beliefs holding them back. As a professional belief clearing coach, you’ll be part of that transformation.
Whether you integrate it into your current practice or build a career around it, the advanced path is about stepping into leadership: refining the craft, holding higher standards, and helping belief clearing gain the credibility it deserves.
If this resonates, stay tuned for details of the certification program. Until then, keep practicing, keep refining, and keep clearing beliefs—starting with your own.
Conclusion & Next Steps
Becoming a belief clearing coach isn’t about waiting for permission, collecting certificates, or spending thousands on another program. It’s about developing the confidence to guide someone through a powerful process that dissolves the beliefs holding them back.
The truth is, every method works when the coach brings presence, clarity, and integrity. And every method fails when the coach hides behind theory instead of practice.
If you feel called to this work, the first step is simple:
Clear your own beliefs.
Practice with peers.
Stay on script until you master the basics.
Build confidence through real sessions, not just classroom learning.
From there, you can expand—integrating belief clearing into life coaching, executive coaching, therapy, or any other field where limiting beliefs hold people back.
