What’s a Life Coach?

A life coach is a wellness professional who helps individuals advance in their lives, experiencing a deeper contentment and joy. Life coaches help their clients build strong relationships, careers, and daily lives.

Life coaches can aid in clarifying a person’s goals, identifying the obstacles holding them back, and creating strategies for overcoming roadblocks. In producing innovative action plans, life coaches build upon one’s core competencies and unique gift sets. By helping a client optimize their strengths, life coaches provide the accountability needed to reach long-term effectiveness.

Difference Between a Life Coach and a Therapist

Though there may be plenty of overlap in the benefits of having a life coach and having a licensed therapist, these professionals have unique roles and serve distinct purposes.

Unlike life coaches, participating in psychotherapy with a therapists and other mental health professionals focus on healing, treating mental health conditions, and helping people work through trauma and other issues from their past. While working with a life coach may help you to deal with certain unresolved issues, life coaches cannot treat mood disorders, anxiety disorders, addiction, or any other mental health condition.
