Life Coaching vs. Counseling

Often, my clients ask me what the difference is between life coaching and my individual counseling services.While there are many similarities between these two services, there are also some crucial differences. Whereas life coaching is action-oriented, counseling is coping-oriented. Life coaching helps you identify and achieve your overall goals, while counseling can help you overcome specific instances of adversity. Life coaching focuses almost exclusively on the present and future, whereas counseling often deals with issues from the past. In short, life coaching is focused on your potential, whereas counseling helps you be at peace with yourself wherever you are in this moment.

Life coaches give you advice: As with counselors, a good life coach will never give you advice but simply help you to find the answers yourself. Life coaching revolves around asking clients powerful questions to help them discover what they already know. I would much rather empower my clients to realize their own potential rather than simply tell them what to do.
Life coaching is New Age gibberish: Increasingly, psychological research has identified many of the beliefs behind life coaching as scientifically valid. In fact, recent studies have found that focusing mostly on the positive and the present or desired future can greatly improve your quality of life, and help you transform suffering into wisdom.
Anything goes in life coaching: Unlike counseling, life coaching is not regulated by the present. This has led many people to falsely believe that anyone can be a life coach, and that life coaches are only in it for the money. While this is certainly true of some life coaches, a reputable life coach will have committed serious time, money, and energy to learning the skills they need to provide the best service possible.
You need to know what you want before you hire a life coach: In fact, those with little understanding of what they want are the perfect candidates for life coaching! Life coaching is focused on helping you discover your desires and how to realize them. While it’s an invaluable tool for anyone, it can especially benefit those who are uncertain about which path in life to take.
Life coaching is only for business people: Life coaching can benefit anyone, whether they are looking to discover their personal, spiritual, or — yes — career-based goals. While some clients may want to focus on personal goals such as relationships, fulfillment, etc., others may seek guidance on professional goals such as a higher productivity rate, better time management, improving their leadership qualities, and more. While I have had clients who are corporate professionals, many of my clients are everyday people who are simply looking to find themselves.

Identify your goals and how to achieve them: Everyone needs a sense of purpose in order to get them through life. While many of us have a vague idea of what we want for the future — such as a loving spouse, a family, or a fulfilling career — we don’t know how to make these things a reality. In life coaching, I will help you identify specific desires you have for the future and come up with an actionable plan for how to achieve them
Stay motivated: Motivation is essential for achieving your goals. In our life coaching sessions, I will use a variety of motivational techniques, such as confidence-building exercises and positive affirmations, to help keep you driven towards success, even in moments of great self-doubt
Overcome adversity: It is inevitable that all of us will have to deal with suffering throughout our lives. Whether you’re going through a divorce, grieving a loved one, or dealing with a mental illness, life coaching can help you find strength in times of hardship. It will allow you to refocus on life’s greater plan and commemorate your losses while looking towards your future.
Develop confidence and self-esteem: Building confidence streams from positive thinking, positive relationships, and plenty of practice. In our life coaching sessions I will give you actionable ways for you to discover a greater sense of confidence and self-understanding. I will teach you how to challenge core beliefs that may be holding you back from happiness and guide you towards a life full of positivity, self-love, and joy.
Improve work performance: From banishing imposter syndrome to getting a promotion, life coaching can help you with every aspect of your career. By challenging you to grow and develop accountability in exciting new ways, life coaching will give you the edge you need to truly excel.
