If you’ve ever spent your morning commute daydreaming about starting afresh with your career, this feature is for you. Each Monday, we speak to someone from a different profession to discover what it’s really like. This week, we chat to relationship coach Lorin Krenn…
The sky truly is the limit with salary… but the income range in relationship coaching varies enormously. Many beginners earn very little in their first years because they are stumbling their way into a field they know little about. Once a coach develops real skill, delivers consistent results and builds a stable client base, it is realistic to earn between £40,000 and £60,000 a year. Coaches who specialise, gain a reputation for depth and offer structured programmes often reach the £70,000-£100,000 range. At the high end, where a coach becomes a recognised authority with a global audience and offers advanced programmes, retreats and intensives, earnings can rise into multiple six figures and even seven figures.

In high-end private coaching, sessions can reach several thousand pounds… especially within intensives. Clients are not paying for the coach’s time. They are paying for mastery, depth, efficiency and the ability to facilitate transformation quickly. I have offered my work for a reduced rate in rare situations where someone was in genuine need.
It is very realistic to work fewer than 40 hours… with completely flexible scheduling. You can coach from anywhere in the world and meet clients in person when possible. I work between 40 and 60 hours a week because I do more than coach. I write books, teach, lead global programmes and serve an international audience.
I do not take many breaks… because my work does not feel like work. It is my greatest passion and sense of purpose. When I take time off, it is quality time with my wife or our close friends. The time is intentional and allows my body to rest and recharge.
Complaints about splitting chores come up often… because chores are rarely about chores. They symbolise deeper emotional patterns. The argument is usually about feeling unsupported or disconnected. The fairest approach is to stop focusing on the dishwasher and address the real emotional dynamic. When the emotional connection is restored, the practical details become easy to solve.

Couples go wrong in communicating when they… speak from old wounds rather than from the present. When triggered, people often speak as the hurt child they once were.
My three top tips for maintaining a healthy relationship are…

Some people cheat because… of unresolved issues with self-worth and a deep need for validation. Others cheat because they struggle to receive love. Even with a loving partner, they feel unworthy and unconsciously sabotage. It is rarely about the other person. It is about the unresolved relationship with oneself.
It is possible to mend a relationship after someone has cheated… The key is radical honesty and full responsibility. The partner who cheated must reveal the whole truth. Both must understand why it happened. Trust is rebuilt through consistent action and emotional repair.
Before coaching I worked as a personal trainer specialising in functional strength and group classes… Fitness was a bridge for me because physical health has always been a core pillar of my life. But it was never my deepest passion. It sustained me until I built the path toward the work I do today.
The part of my job that I dislike is… emails and technical work. It does not excite me. I am an extrovert at heart. I want to coach, guide, host events and be with people rather than handle admin or tech structure. Many coaches feel the same.
Coaching is unregulated… which means many people call themselves relationship coaches without real experience or a clear framework. I trained across multiple disciplines, studied healing modalities from shamanic work to modern somatic practices, trained in men’s work, became a certified hypnotherapist to work with deep subconscious patterns and developed my own methodology through years of working with individuals and couples.
Neutrality is essential… I do not take sides. I focus on the dynamic rather than the personalities. After many years it becomes second nature. There are moments when one partner is acting out of integrity. In those cases I do not side against them but I name the truth directly. Clarity is part of the work.
In an established relationship the red flags are… secrecy, chronic irresponsibility or using money to control. Transparency is non-negotiable. Nothing can be hidden.
Financial stress comes up as a problem for couples often… but it is rarely about the money itself. Money represents safety and security. If both partners are under financial pressure, their bodies go into stress, which makes intimacy difficult. There is also the wounded relationship with money. Hiding spending, manipulating, resenting the other for earning more. If someone wants a thriving relationship, they must look honestly at their own relationship with money.
