Life Coaching FAQs

WHAT IS A LIFE COACH?

Life coaches help their clients identify a specific life or career goal, define the steps needed to achieve this goal and create a plan of action. Life coaches will also help clients identify strengths, weaknesses and obstacles that will impact their plan of action.

WHAT DOES LIFE COACHING INVOLVE?

Most importantly, professional life coaching involves relationship building and trust. Life coaches must be able to forge a creative partnership with their clients to:
  • Identify and create a plan for what the client wants
  • Modify and build strategies to achieve a client’s goals
  • Encourage self-discovery, self-awareness and growth
  • Promote accountability and positive change

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LIFE COACH AND A THERAPIST?

While therapists analyze a client’s past to help them understand their current behavior, life coaches identify obstacles that stop a client from achieving their goals and present strategies for getting past these obstacles.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COACHING AND COUNSELLING?

Similar to the different between a life coach and a therapist, coaching is different than counseling because it focuses on goal setting and not mental health. Ultimately, both practices aim to help the client on a deeply personal level but take different approaches in doing so.
