How does coaching differ from therapy, consulting, training, and mentorship?

  • By providing a safe space for reflection and evaluation, coaches help clients to define their goals more clearly, and build greater self-awareness and confidence. Coaches are change agents and empathetic listeners that value client opinions, while challenging them to be their best selves. If you want to maximize your potential and achieve your goals, coaching is the way to go.

    Coaching helps you cultivate the following to help you move forward:

    • insights/self-awareness

    • mindsets/perspectives

    • behaviors/actions

    • clarity/accountability

  • The main goal of therapy is to gain relief from symptoms, maintain or improve daily functioning, and improve the quality of your daily life. Therapy is designed to help you work through deep issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and other more serious concerns. Both therapy and coaching use evidence-based techniques and intentional dialogue as the primary tools for growth and discovery. A license is required to offer therapy.

  • Consultants offer expertise and advice to organizations or individuals to help them improve their business performance. Some consultants also accomplish work for organizations or individuals.

  • Trainers teach skills to better prepare people for a specific goal including a job, activity, or sport, or to improve upon already-established skills. They may use a curriculum and facilitate classes to accomplish this task.

How can working with a Health and Wellness Coach benefit me?

  • Many different types of medical professionals can help you with your health. They use science to understand your condition and recommend things you can do at home to self-manage it. Sometimes we encounter challenges making the lifestyle modifications they recommend. This sometimes leaves you feeling overwhelmed and desiring additional support to make sustainable progress.

  • Health coaches, while unlicensed, are part of the team of healthcare professionals who help people improve their health. Health coaches draw from their education in health and coaching techniques, to support people in making their desired lifestyle changes that can prevent or manage certain diseases. Also, health coaches have more time to work with people than other healthcare professionals, and can offer more comprehensive support. If you're feeling overwhelmed, a health coach can help you understand why lifestyle changes are important, and support you in developing a personalized plan to help you make them happen.
