Life coaching is a collaborative process where a trained professional helps you identify your goals, overcome obstacles, and create actionable plans for personal and professional growth. Unlike therapy, coaching focuses on the present and future rather than the past. Sessions typically last 45-60 minutes and can be conducted online or in-person.

While therapy typically addresses mental health conditions and explores past experiences, coaching focuses on goal-setting, accountability, and forward momentum. Coaches help you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Both can be valuable, and many people benefit from both simultaneously.

Most coaching engagements last 3-6 months, with sessions occurring weekly or bi-weekly. Some clients continue with monthly maintenance sessions after the initial engagement. The duration depends on your goals and the complexity of the changes you want to make.

Results vary based on your commitment and goals, but common outcomes include greater clarity on priorities, improved confidence, better work-life balance, career advancement, stronger relationships, and sustainable healthy habits. Most clients report significant progress within the first 2-3 months.
