ARE YOU A LICENSED LIFE COACH?

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A THERAPIST AND A COACH?

  1.  A Coach is a guide, an usher, and a co-educator.  The hierarchical model of therapist-patient is denounced here.  The model is one of equal partners helping another achieve their life goals.

  2. No one is broken or needs to be fixed.  A coach is simply looking to help uncover the already-existing potential within each client.

  3. Coaching focuses on the present whereas therapy is about the past. Coaches will only visit the past to help bring the client into the present. 

  4. Coaches empower clients to solve their own problems. Coaches are goal-directed and focused on helping clients meet their visions.

  5. Coaching is often time-bound and limited to the problem that needs solving.

  6. Independence and autonomy are fostered and encouraged.

  7. Coaches do not heal the emotional disturbances or mental diseases of the client. Coaching is about attaining new goals.  Therapy is about healing a diagnosis.
