What is a Life Coach, and what services can a Life Coach offer?
It is easier to begin with what we are NOT. I cannot provide the services offered by a Licensed Mental Health Professional (e.g., an LPC or an LPSW). However, I can refer to higher care if I see a client's need for these services.
To give you an idea of what I CAN do, let's start with the definition of a Life Coach: "Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential, which is particularly important in today's uncertain and complex environment." (Williams, P. and Mendenez, D. (2023). Becoming a Professional Life Coach.)
This definition sums up what your Life Coaching journey will look like. As we partner together to guide you through realizing and actualizing your goals, my responsibility to you will be to:
1.) Help you discover, clarify, and align with your goals.
2.) Encourage you along your path of self-discovery.
3.) I will guide you through creating client-generated solutions and strategies. You are the expert on yourself and your life, and I will be here to help you gain trust and confidence in yourself.
4.) I will be with you throughout the process to guide you in self-responsibility and accountability for achieving your desired goals.
If I can be of assistance to you in making that next step in your life journey, or if you have further questions, don't hesitate to reach out to me at mindfulbalanceholistic@outlook.com.
