Life.
I mean that both as a joke, but also entirely literally. And I don't mean this as a way to brush off your comment (I'll explain) but there isn't "an area".
But also it's not a "need". If it were a need I'd look for a therapist. I've been officially diagnosed for +15 years, but I'm high functioning (an Eagle Scout, PhD student, and I'm getting married this year). I'm looking for a coach because I know I could be doing better across the board; healthier, happier, better partner in relationships, more productive at school/reseach. I keep track of missteps and their reasons; in high school I was likely operating near the best of my potential, but right now I can tell there's a sizeable gap.
The other, subtle, part of my post is I want to be able to give advice in a small group setting. I've learned a lot of things that are worth sharing, and I feel advice works best when tailored to an individual situation.
