Life coaching vs. therapy
Is life coaching and therapy the same thing? In short, no. But there are some similarities. While life coaching and therapy are both focused on improving people’s well-being, there are distinct differences. Therapists require certain educational and license prerequisites to provide mental health care treatment.
Coaching, however, is focused on personal and professional development. Coaches will help their clients build and utilize the right tools to reach their goals. This means career, personal development, relationships, nutrition, divorce, grief, and even financial wellness.
Oftentimes, I work hand and hand with therapists. In most cases we work together with our clients, to give the best results and outcomes in their treatment. If there is deeper emotional work or self-actualization that needs to happen, or they need to be monitored or medicated, a “therapist can be doing that work, (while coaches, Myself) can support that day to day.” In many ways, coaches help build mental fitness. It can offer a blueprint and empower you to achieve important goals step by step.
