What is Life Coaching?

Home » Areas of Specialty » Life Coaching » Page 965

Life coaching is different than mental health counseling in critical ways, but both types of specialists offer benefits. Life coaches typically can’t diagnose and provide treatment plans for mental health disorders. Counselors and therapists do. Life coaches help people establish goals, find motivation, and achieve those goals. Their focus isn’t on mental health. A life coach uses motivational techniques to help someone accomplish goals that are unique to them and their aspirations. A person would go to a life coach for guidance in establishing more meaning in their life.

"I believe that therapy is designed to help us through the challenges we face and to use those challenges to grow and develop into our own unique person. Each individual is a result of our own experiences, and while we may connect with others with similar tales, it is important to remember that we still possess an individuality that must be recognized and heard. By learning to value and appreci...
