How To
How is life coaching different to therapy?
Therapy is for people who are stuck and need help moving forward. Life coaching helps you get beyond where you are now and move towards the future you desire.
Life coaching is based in the belief that all people have unlimited potential. The greatest asset to us is not our skill set, but the way we use these skills. Our belief is that clients can become happier, healthier and wealthier by learning these skills.
We believe there is a difference between "therapy" and "coaching". Therapy focuses on fixing problems, while coaching focuses on developing strengths.
Therapists tend to focus on symptoms like depression, anxiety and anger. Coaches focus on strengths such resilience, optimism confidence, self-awareness and self-awareness. Both of them focus on change.
The difference is that therapists are trained in fixing problems and coaches to build strength. When someone goes to counseling, they might feel down about themselves and believe that talking to another coach will help them feel better. This is false.
To help clients find their answers, coaches ask them questions. To help clients find their answers, coaches ask questions such as "What do your hobbies? Or, you could ask yourself "Who would it be without limitations?"
They don't try and tell clients what to think. They help clients discover what makes them happy. In other words, they look at the whole person. - rather than focusing solely upon the problem.
Life coaching is not only more effective than traditional therapies but it also has the added advantage of being cheaper.
Therapy is usually a series of sessions per week that last several months or years. A good therapist will charge between $50 and $100 per session. Even if you only have one session per month you could be spending thousands of dollars annually on therapy.
A life coach works with you once every two weeks for a fraction of the cost. Many people can afford life coaching because it is cheaper.
