Benson Fox, Life Coach's style
😃 Humorous 💪 Challenging 🥇 Empowering 🐣 Out of the boxWhy Benson Fox, Life Coach chose to be in the helping profession
I joined the helping profession because I want to pass on the tools and skills for healing that have been valuable in my own life. I worked hard to create a map of growth and healthiness for myself and want to share it with others. My goal is to be a source of support and light for others, especially during challenging, lonely times. Once we get through the hot moment together, I help them break through obstacles to their goals and take their lives to the next level. With the assistance of God, I aim to be the kind of person I needed when I was younger, offering encouragement, understanding, and hope. I focus on helping people uncover their authentic selves and realize their potential. With the assistance of God, I hope to continue being an effective giver rather than a taker.
Benson Fox, Life Coach's approach
My approach has a proven track record of results, as highlighted in the testimonials section. As a life and dating coach, I employ a highly individualized, holistic, and solution-focused method, incorporating a unique blend of out-of-the-box techniques. Throughout our sessions, I strike a balance between sensitivity, validation, and support, coupled with authenticity, truth-telling, and direct, constructive guidance.
I firmly reject the idea of a one-size-fits-all approach since every individual is unique and at a specific point in their personal journey. Therefore, I customize my sessions to your unique needs. While maintaining professionalism, I step into each coaching session as my authentic self, infusing it with my personality, humor, perspectives, and interests. By doing so, I hope to build lasting, genuine relationships, not hold you at a distance or hide behind my role as "the coach." Although it's bittersweet when our time together concludes, I communicate openly about the right time to end our sessions, which is when we have reached our goals.
My trust in intuition is unwavering, so even when it occasionally leads me or you astray, I tap into it for self-reflection and course correction. I assist my clients in cultivating self-trust and accessing their own intuition. My approach goes beyond helping clients release their pain; it involves embracing and leveraging it for positive transformation. I believe that every aspect of a person has a meaningful, positive place, even the parts that many repress or deny, such as anger, shame, and fear. Ultimately, my clients attain higher levels of confidence, joy, and self-love in their lives, along with a plethora of positive side effects like improved communication, self-awareness, and balance.
What you can expect from sessions with Benson Fox, Life Coach
In our sessions, my primary focus is facilitating you to reach YOUR goals, and the journey to get there may unfold in unexpected and surprising ways. Your role is simply to show up and express yourself however you would like, and trust that I will guide the conversation to wherever it needs to go. My approach is not rigidly structured with charts and itineraries; instead, it follows a natural flow, and I act as a channel, directing our discussions in ways that best serve your needs and objectives. I will challenge you to trailblaze beyond your comfort zone, but I am continuously evaluating your dynamic readiness and willingness for concrete and meaningful change. Also, I take pride in integrating spiritual and religious insights into my life coaching, always ensuring alignment with the values, goals, and beliefs of my clients. Let's break through all of the "stuckness" and obstacles to unleash and unlock the true you!
Benson Fox, Life Coach's experience working with the Jewish community
I have robust exposure to secular contexts, specifically 1000’s of hours of valuable, supervised counseling experience at the Brooklyn College Personal Counseling Center, James A. Dever Elementary School, Lynbrook High School, the Crisis Text Line and George W. Hewlett High School. These experiences have empowered me to connect and learn from individuals from various backgrounds and beliefs.
Primarily, my identity is shaped as an Orthodox Jew. My background is in yeshivas, growing up in an Orthodox Jewish home and integrated with the Five Towns Jewish community. Also, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Talmudic Law (BTL), invested four years in Torah study in Israel and currently in the process of achieving Semicha, an Orthodox Rabbinic Certification. My deep connection to my heritage and faith allows me to validate the idiosyncratic experiences in ways that outsiders would be challenged to and shapes my perspective of life and the coach-coachee dynamic. For example, I take pride in integrating spiritual and religious insights into my life coaching, always ensuring alignment with the values, goals, and beliefs of my clients.
My experience with the Jewish community includes working with Jewish crisis lines, contributing to Jewish organizations for individuals with special needs, and serving as a youth director for four years at the Beis Medrash of Harborview. This diverse background enriches my ability to connect with individuals within the Orthodox Jewish community and tailor my approach to their specific needs and cultural contexts. Also, these experiences lend me a profound understanding of more religiously-minded individuals.

Benson is someone that has helped me personally and who I recommend to others who are challenged in a number of areas. I do so because he got me the results I was looking for and I’m confident he can do so for others as well. I especially appreciate his communication, professionalism, and perception.

I barely write reviews but I would like to share how satisfied I have been in having coach Fox as my life coach. It’s my first time speaking with a coach and I was truly not sure what to expect. I thought I figured out myself, my desires, my thought process especially at my age, but Benson unlocks new insights about myself that I never really considered. His approach is subtle and he keeps you accountable for what you need to work on. He checks in every day to make sure you’re on the right path. He has great availability and very affordable compared to a lot of other coaches on the market. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for some healing from breakups, deep self-reflection, and just quality life coaching. Mar 8, 2020

In a short two months, Benson helped me improve my balance in life, especially finding a better work-life balance. We were able to build better awareness around boundaries and self-care. I am still benefiting from the seeds he planted in these and other areas. If you are on the fence about joining Fox Coaching, remember that there is a cost to doing nothing and not getting to your goals

Benson helped me improve my self-love by helping me understand that all negative aspects of myself like conflict, have a positive place. In the 6.5 months we worked together, I accomplished the goals we had set out together and I am feeling much happier and better able to work through hard times and internally sort out my negative emotions. Benson really helped me in my life so maybe he can do the same in yours.

Benson invested so much into me and really helped me come from a hard, stuck place and get through lots of obstacles in the way of my goals and aspirations. I really felt like he genuinely cared about me and how I would turn out and it made all the difference for me. Now, I am married and on a solid career trajectory, and forever grateful for all Benson has done for me. June 2020
