What Life Coaching is and isn't

Home

A Life coach is your champion, a friendly well wisher, an advisor and soundingboard.

A life coach is not a therapist or a drug counsellor. She cannot provide any sort of diagnosis nor psychological treatment. She cannot work with you if your primary concerns are serious addictions or crippling psychological dis-ease. She is not a personal trainer, nor diet counselor.

In some cases, if any of these are your concerns, she can still work with you as long as you are working with the specific professional that you need. For instance, your work with a psychiatrist, a personal trainer or a diet counselor could complement your work with your coach.

Sexual contact between a client and coach is not an option.

She is someone consistently rooting for you, helping you explore your options, strategizing with you to overcome obstacles, giving you tips and insights into the ways that you can achieve what you want to achieve. She is your mentor.
