FAQ's

What is a Life Coach?

Without support, creating lasting change and going through challenging life situations can be daunting and overwhelming.

A Life Coach helps you develop the awareness, skills, and strategies you need to:

1.  Achieve a happier, more successful life or improve your health.
2.  Maximize your life experience to improve or enhance your quality of life. 
3.  Conquer fear that keeps you safe, but unhappy, or sabotages your success.
4.  Live a more authentic life, free from the expectations of others.

What's the difference between therapy and life coaching?

Life coaching helps individuals evolve in the areas of health, wellness, personal growth and transformation, navigate life transitions, or in tackling any other challenging life situation.  

A life coach is not qualified to diagnose or treat mental illness.  A Life Coach doesn't work with people experiencing clinical symptoms that present as a mental illness, such as suicide, psychosis, mania, etc.  These symptoms constitute a medical mental health crisis and often require a team of mental health professionals.

However, individuals experiencing mild anxiety or other non-clinical states can often benefit greatly from the stress and life management programs a life coach can offer. Often times, folks work with both a therapist and a life coach, and this can work quite well.

Having said that, some life coaches cross the line into delving into mental health issues and they are practicing outside their qualified area of expertise. This isn't always obvious because they don't know how to identify clinical symptoms which require a trained clinician or therapist.

PTSD would be a good example.  Many folks have undiagnosed PTSD and seek help by hiring a life coach because they don't fully understand what they're going through.
