What is a Life Coach?

A life coach is someone professionally trained to help you maximize your full potential and reach your desires and goals fast. Think of me as your BFF, mentor, and advisor all in one.

Life coaching gives immense clarity on what’s going on in your own brain and subconscious. When you feel unable to get the results you want, feel that you are repeating patterns, or feel stuck with your life, coaching is the solution. A life coach can help you identify your limiting beliefs and show you exactly what needs to change so that you can fully step into your desires and goals.

How is life coaching different than therapy?

A life coach is is not a healthcare professional. Their purpose is to clarify goals, identify obstacles, and see problematic patterns and behaviors in order to curate an action plan to achieve desired results. The main way that a life coach vs. therapist works is that the life coach takes the client’s current starting point as an acceptable neutral ground and is more action-based from that point onward. A life coach enables the person receiving treatment to take responsibility and control for their life and take action to steer it toward their goals.

A therapist is a healthcare professional. Therapy, also called counseling or psychotherapy, is a long-term process in which a client works with a healthcare professional to diagnose and resolve problematic beliefs, behaviors, and issues.

Therapists focus on the “why” behind certain behaviors and feelings whereas coaches focus on the “how” can we get past this quickly. In that way, therapy then focuses more on the feelings and experiences that got you to where you are. Coaching may touch on past experiences when breaking down your limiting beliefs, but overall it is more focused on the present and the future.

Therapy is more about exploration and having curiosity around different feelings and experiences. Coaching is more about results and action steps to get you to your goals.

The duration differs as well. Therapy is meant to be a long term container. Coaching is designed to get results such that the client can one day coach themselves using the modalities learned in session.
