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 .
