What is Life Coaching?

In life coaching, a client works with a coach to clarify goals and identify obstacles and problematic habits so that action plans can be developed to attain desired outcomes. The fundamental difference between a life coach and a therapist is that the life coach uses the client’s existing starting point as an acceptable neutral ground and then becomes more action-oriented from there. A life coach empowers the individual receiving treatment to take charge of their lives and take steps to achieve their objectives.

Life coaches, on the other hand, should get accreditation from an accredited organisation such as the International Coaching Federation. Unlike therapists, there are no educational requirements. Life coaches work with their clients to motivate them, provide emotional support, and instil confidence in them. Life coaches include a lot of former psychologists and counsellors.

Whether you want to lose weight or make a major career move, speaking with a professional life coach can help you overcome any mental barriers you may face. Having a coach is like having someone  accountable for your progress and seeking answers to.

What is Therapy?

Therapy, often known as counselling or psychotherapy, is a long-term process in which a client collaborates with a licensed practitioner to identify and overcome harmful beliefs, behaviours, interpersonal troubles, moods, and, in some cases, bodily responses. The goal of therapy is to transform self-destructive habits, heal and restore relationships, and work through painful feelings by focusing on past traumas and concerns. In this view, therapy focuses on the past, reflection, and analysis in order to resolve previous concerns and create a happier, more stable future.

Therapists, whether psychologists or counsellors, have a variety of master’s and doctorate degrees and are state-licensed. Licensed professionals use psychotherapy, often known as talk therapy, to work on understanding your thoughts, moods, and actions over time.

Therapy is well-known for its problem-solving skills and for its use in the treatment of anxiety, despair, and addiction. It’s also a strategy to improve your mental well-being in everyday life. To put it another way, you don’t need to have experienced a major life event or tragedy to benefit from counselling. Speaking with a professional can help you have a better understanding of how you seem to others, helps you get feedback on whatever you’re feeling and offers insight on how those emotions are affecting your everyday life.
