You might be wondering, why choose coaching over psychotherapy?
Well, a coach and a psychotherapist differ primarily in their focus, approach, and scope of practice. A coach does not address emotional difficulties or behavioral challenges stemming from mental health issues. They are not always licensed mental health professionals and therefore do not diagnose or treat mental health disorders. Coaches are typically more action-oriented and future-focused, which sets them apart from psychotherapists, who often use a more introspective, reflective, and treatment-based approach for mental health issues.
A coach is a trained professional who works with individuals to help them set and achieve personal and professional goals. Coaching supports clients in identifying obstacles and developing strategies to overcome them. A coach uses a combination of active listening, collaborative inquiry, goal setting, and feedback to help clients gain clarity, create opportunities for positive changes, and facilitate movement towards a desired direction. This process can significantly improve well-being, enhance relationships, performance, and lead to a more fulfilling and balanced life.
I provide an emotionally centered, polyvagal informed, and positive psychology based coaching experience.
A good candidate for coaching is an individual who:
Seeks support from a mental health professional in a non-mental health context.
Seeks rigorous thought partnership.
Seeks practical strategies and actionable plans to make positive changes.
Seeks guidance and support for personal growth rather than clinical issues.
Seeks gentle accountability and feedback to motivate tangible progress.
