So, what is Life & Mental Health Coaching anyway?

Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.

It is a peer-to-peer relationship, one of equality, rather than a counseling relationship that is more of an expert-to-client one. Coaching additionally focuses on the present and future, where a counselor spends more time examining the past, looking for solutions to mental, emotional, relational or behavioral concerns.

I personally, like to think of coaching in terms of a guide as well. A guide may know the way, but they are walking on the path with you. I haven’t “arrived” my journey is still ongoing. I’ve just been down a path or two and can share some things that have helped and hurt. And took the time to get some training and certifications along the way.

We all need help from time-to-time and we need each other. Remember, it’s not good to battle alone.

Let me know if you’d like to find out more…and the coffee is on me!
