What Is Life Coaching?
Coaching vs. Therapy vs. Consulting... Explained
Coaching
Coaching is about moving forward from where you are, to where you want to be. A coach looks at your present and helps you create the future you desire. While coaching does not involve therapy, it can be therapeutic. A coach can use therapeutic techniques to help you resolve blocks and overcome obstacles.
Coaching is: Action oriented and your coach serves as the "architect" in your life .
Therapy
Therapists/Counselors work with you to heal deep emotional issues, usually arising from the past. Therapists also help clients who suffer from mental illness, depression, anxiety, and other disorders.
When people have trouble "functioning" in day to day life, or are stuck and not able to move forward, a coach will recommend therapy. Working with a therapist and a life coach can bring about amazing results when more than coaching is needed.
Therapy is: Insight oriented and your therapist serves as the "archaeologist" in your life .
