A life coach is someone who helps people make progress in their lives in order to attain greater fulfillment. Life coaches aid their clients in improving their relationships, careers, and day-to-day lives. Life coaches can help you clarify your goals, identify any obstacles, and then help you come up with strategies for overcoming each obstacle. A life coach will be there to hold you accountable and provide the support you need to achieve long-lasting change.
A common misconception is that life coaches provide advice. Life coaches do not tell you what to do, instead they facilitate the client's own process of connecting to their inner wisdom, and making choices about their actions and next steps from that place of connection.
Unlike life coaches, 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. Life coaches identify and describe current problematic behaviors so the client can work to modify them. Life coaches cannot treat mood disorders, anxiety disorders, addiction, or any other mental health condition. If you’re experiencing symptoms of a mental health problem (such as feelings of depression, eating disorders, sleep disruption, and mood disturbance), it’s crucial to consult a mental health professional as soon as possible.
