Is Coaching With Me Right for You? Understanding When Coaching, Not Therapy, Is Your Next Step
Many people reach a point where they need support but aren't sure whether therapy or coaching would better serve their needs. Both are valuable paths that I offer, but they serve different purposes and meet different needs. Understanding these differences can help you make the right choice for your current situation.
How My Coaching Differs From My Therapy Approach
Therapy: Depth and Healing
My therapy approach goes beyond surface-level conversations about self-care. We dive into childhood experiences and upbringing that contributed to perfectionism and self-sabotaging behaviors, addressing the root causes that keep you stuck in unhealthy patterns. Read more about therapy with me here.
Coaching: Action and Implementation
My coaching approach focuses on present-moment strategies to implement practical self-care now. Instead of aiming for perfect, Instagram-worthy routines, we develop sustainable practices that work in your real life with an emphasis on action and accountability.
In coaching, we'll:
Design concrete self-care strategies tailored to your specific lifestyle
Create accountability structures that motivate without overwhelming
Develop practical solutions to overcome perfectionist tendencies
Build momentum through consistent implementation
Establish systems that make self-care sustainable long-term
Signs Coaching Might Be Right for You
You understand your patterns but struggle with implementation
You have insight into why you operate the way you do, but turning that awareness into consistent action has been challenging.
You're not looking to process past trauma or deep emotional wounds
Your primary goal isn't healing childhood wounds but developing practical strategies for implementing self-care now.
You benefit from external accountability
Having regular check-ins and someone to report your progress to significantly increases your follow-through.
You're action-oriented and results-focused
You're motivated by seeing tangible progress and measurable outcomes in your daily life.
You're emotionally stable but stuck in perfectionist cycles
You're not experiencing significant mental health symptoms, but perfectionism keeps you from maintaining consistent self-care.
