How Does a life coach differ from a therapist?
Life Coaches guide, allowing the client to lead. Life Coaches do not diagnose or treat any mental health issues. Life Coaches are not regulated and do not have to register with an association to set up practice. It is important to understand that you will be in charge of your coaching.
How do I get the most from my coaching program?
You coach is there to guide you. The best way to get the most out of the coaching experience is to be ready to show up and do the work. Be on time for your appointments, do the homework you’ve ben asked to do and be ready to share with your coach. Keep an open mind. Your coach is trained to help you move forward, establish your goals and achieve them! But you must be coachable or you will not access the benefits of coaching.

what results should i expect?
First, it will depend on what you want to achieve. It will also depend on how committed you are to making the changes you want to make. And lastly, it will depend on where you are starting. If you struggle with change, have strong limiting beliefs that are holding you back, dig in and resist the process, or are suffering from mental health issues, the process may take a long time. Your coach will work with you and refer you for mental health supports if needed. Typically, with a minimum of 6 months of fully committed work on your goals for your customized coaching needs, you can expect to feel increased confidence, self-worth, freedom to create the life you desire. Most programs last between 8 – 12 months, however. Results are dependent again on your level of commitment and willingness to do the work.
