What is the difference between Life Coaching & Therapy?
One analogy that best describes the difference between Therapy and Life Coaching is that a Therapist is more like an archeologist and a Life Coach is more like an architect.
Therapists help you sift back through your past to connect prior experiences with current life functioning.
A Life Coach is more like an architect. Work begins where you are currently at in your life and focuses on your future.
Why work with a Therapist?
The focus in therapy is on mental health and emotional healing. If you notice unwanted patterns in your life, there is often a core belief that may be holding you in that pattern.
You should consider therapy if:
-
You are experiencing mental health symptoms that are causing distress in your life (trauma, anxiety, depression, compulsive or additive behaviors)
-
Interpersonal relationships feel challenging to you
-
You want support managing your emotions
-
You are seeking to heal from past trauma
Why work with a Life Coach?
A life coach is someone that partners with clients by
empowering them to make, meet and exceed goals and intentions in their lives.
​
I will help you to:
-
make intentional space in your life
-
refocus or redefine priorities
-
hold you accountable
-
help you become clear about where you are and where you wish to be
​
The space between where you are and where you wish to be is where the magic of coaching takes place.
