IS LIFE COACHING OR COUNSELLING AND THERAPY BEST FOR YOU?

Steve Brown from Hibiscus Life Coaching

Do you feel like your life’s going well, but you could use some help and support to reach your full potential? This guide will help you decide between life coaching and counselling or therapy.

Life Coaching:
• Coaching focuses on the future. Life coaches act as your cheerleader and brainstorming buddy, helping you set and achieve goals you're excited about. They focus on the present and what you can do to move forward.

• Action-oriented: Life coaching is a collaborative process. You'll work together to develop strategies and overcome obstacles to reach your goals, whether it's improving your career, relationships, or overall well-being.
• Short Term: Life coaching is typically shorter-term than therapy, often lasting just a few weeks or months. It's ideal for those who are generally happy but want to take things to the next level.

Counselling often involves:
• Addressing Deeper Issues: Counsellors or therapists can help you understand and overcome challenges originating from past experiences, negative emotions, or mental health conditions. Therapy can be a long-term commitment, depending on your needs.
The bottom line:
• Life coaching is ideal if you're looking for a supportive partner and coach to help you achieve specific goals and navigate life transitions.
• Counselling is the better choice if you're struggling with deeper emotional issues or mental health concerns.
