What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

Let’s be frank- there is overlap. In both settings, clients participate in personal conversations aimed at improving mental health and positively impacting their lives. I am not a psychologist, therapist, or social worker. There are things I am not trained to do, for which I would refer you to a specialist. Examples of this include but are not limited to severe trauma and addiction.

Making sweeping generalizations about coaching vs. therapy is impossible, as there are many different types of practitioners using different approaches in both fields.

In my coaching space, you will focus on the past only as it is relevant to bringing you into the present moment. Coaching is more about where you are now and where you are going than it is about looking to the past.

You will receive direct, truthful, and nonjudgemental reflections from me to guide your transformation. In other words, I call you out on your BS.

In addition to asking questions to guide conversation, I work with teachings, habit building tools, breathing techniques, visualization, guided meditation and other modalities. You can trust me to weave together the modalities that I feel are appropriate and will be most impactful for you.

The coaching space is unregulated. There is no single governing body that oversees and regulates the field. This has pros and cons. Anyone can call themselves a coach and start working with clients. Successful and long-term coaches get results for their clients. The best way to choose a coach is to see what kinds of results they’ve helped their clients achieve, and to use your intuition.

The onus for continuing education lies solely on each practitioner. If you’ve read any of my website, you can probably tell I’m obsessed with learning and I take continuing my education and uplevelling my coaching very seriously. I have a coach of my own because I know and believe in the value of coaching. I participate in ongoing self-exploration and personal development, attend relevant conferences and workshops, and study both business and spirituality equally through books and audios.

When I grow, you grow with me.

What is your niche?

I help growth-oriented people thrive personally and professionally.

If you are interested in living a fulfilling and expansive life, both spiritually and physically, this work is for you. I have a secret- we do not need to discard all our belongings and renounce the physical world to be spiritual people. I take what’s ineffable and esoteric and make it practical for your everyday life.

Classic filters like age, gender, and area of life are not applicable here. We use the “issues” you come to coaching with to access the underlying subconscious programming and do the real inner work that leads to the kind of change that impacts every area of your life. I have worked successfully with clients on relationships (familial, friend, and romantic), careers, business leadership, life purpose, money, confidence, health and more.

This work is for everyone who is ready for it.

How long will I work with you?

Most clients work with me on an ongoing basis. You may choose to increase or decrease the frequency of our calls based on what is happening in your life. You can always take breaks or end coaching at any time.
