How To
How is life coaching different to therapy?
Therapy is for those who are stuck and need support to move forward. Life Coaching helps you move beyond where you are today and towards what you want tomorrow.
Life Coaching is based upon the belief that everyone has unlimited potential. It is not what skills you have, but how well you use those skills. Our belief is that clients can become happier, healthier and wealthier by learning these skills.
We also believe that coaching and therapy are two different things. Therapy is focused on fixing problems while coaching focuses upon developing strengths.
Therapists can often be focused on symptoms such anxiety, depression, anger, etc. while coaches are more concerned with strengths such as resilience and optimism, confidence, self awareness, self-awareness, and so on. Both focus on the possibility of change.
However, therapists can fix problems while coaches can build strength. So when someone comes into counseling, they feel bad about themselves, and they may think that if they just talk to somebody else, they'll feel better. This is false.
To help clients find their answers, coaches ask them questions. Ask, for example, "What are you passionate about?" Or, "Who would you be without any limitations?"
They don't try to tell clients what to do. They help clients discover what makes them happy. In short, they're looking at the whole person - body, mind, spirit, emotions, relationships, finances, career, hobbies, etc. - instead of focusing solely on the problem.
Life coaching is more effective than traditional therapies and it's also cheaper.
Therapy usually requires multiple sessions per week, for several months, or even years. A good therapist charges between $50-$100 per session. Even if you only have one session per month you could be spending thousands of dollars annually on therapy.
Life coaching is a fraction more expensive than regular consulting. A coach meets with you every two weeks. A lot of people can afford life coaching, as it is much less costly.
