Difference between life coaching and therapy:

While both life coaching and therapy aim to improve well-being, they serve distinct purposes and focus on different aspects of personal growth. Life coaching centers on the present and future, emphasizing personal and professional growth through self-initiated change. Therapy, on the other hand, typically delves into the past to address emotional pain, dysfunction, and conflict. 

Another key difference? Life coaching is action-oriented and focuses on "how" to achieve goals, while individual therapy is insight-oriented, exploring the "why" behind emotional and behavioral challenges. 

Coaches also act as partners, helping you unlock your potential and make informed decisions. Therapists, in contrast, provide clinical treatment, often working with medical care teams to address psychological issues. 

Benefits of life coaching:

Coaching helps you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. If you feel stuck, uncertain, or ready to make a change but don’t know how to start, coaching provides clarity, structure, and accountability to move forward. A coach serves as a supportive guide, helping you set meaningful goals, overcome obstacles, and create actionable plans. Whether you’re navigating a career transition, seeking personal growth, or striving for better balance in life, coaching empowers you to uncover your potential and take steps toward a life that aligns with your values and aspirations.

What is my coach’s experience?

Your coach has completed an ICF-accredited Purpose Clarity Coach certification, which provided extensive training in coaching methodologies, ethics, and evidence-based tools. With 15 years of experience in the human services and social work fields, your coach has helped individuals navigate some of life’s most challenging moments. Their coaching approach combines this formal training with years of counseling experience and a deep understanding of mindset and personal growth, empowering clients to make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives.

How do I know if I’m ready for coaching?

You’re ready if you strongly desire change and are prepared to invest time, energy, and effort into your growth. Readiness means you’re willing to be honest with yourself, open to feedback, and committed to taking action to move closer to your goals.
