Frequently Asked Questions
+ What does a life and business coach do?
A coach works with their clients to help them achieve goals, overcome inner and outer obstacles and make changes or shifts in their lives and or careers. The coach works with the client as a partner, knowing that the client has the answers to create the changes they seek which the coaching process illuminates.
+ How often should I speak with my coach?
Twice a month is ideal for continuity and momentum, the coaching that I offer is setup as a bi-weekly process. The coaching process can be tailored to the needs of the client.
+ How much time do I need to commit to coaching?
Outside of the session, you would be expected to set aside 2-3 hours per week on various exercises and "homework" from the coaching sessions to get the most out of this process. I will also be sending you resources inbetween session that might be helpful to you.
+ What is the difference between life coaching and therapy?
Coaching looks to the future and is action driven to shift patterns, whereas therapy tends to look more at the past in an in-depth way and is more focused on treatment through diagnosis. In coaching the client is viewed as whole and equipped with everything they need to reach their goals. In therapy, the focus is to help the client heal from past trauma or negative experience. Coaching is therefore future and action focused, where the coaching process empowers the client to solve their own problems from this present moment.
+ Can a coach help me with a mental health issue?
A Life and Business coach is not a mental health professional and does not offer mental health, addiction or psychological advice or treatment. Coaching is not intended for those experiencing those issues, it is therefore recommended that you seek professional help from a mental health practitioner for issues such as anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts to get the care that you need and deserve.
