How To
What is life coaching like 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 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. These skills will make clients happier, healthier, wealthier, according to us.
We also believe there is an important distinction 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 focus on the possibility of change.
The difference is that therapists are trained in fixing problems and coaches to build strength. If someone is feeling down, they may feel that they can get help by talking to someone else. But this isn't true.
Coaches ask questions to help clients uncover their answers. For example, "What do you love doing?" Or "Who would you be if you didn't have any limitations?"
They aren't trying to tell clients what they should do. Instead, they help people discover what makes their lives happy. In other words, they look at the whole person. Instead of focusing on the problem, they look at the whole person.
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 $50-$100 per session. For a single session per month, therapy could cost you thousands of dollars.
A life coach is only half the cost. They meet with you once a fortnight. A lot of people can afford life coaching, as it is much less costly.
