How much time will it take to see results?
What's the difference between therapy and coaching?
It varies from person to person. Your learning style, focus and commitment to the work are key determinants to the length of time it takes to see results. I ask for your focus and commitment and create a system of accountability which serve as a guardrail, keeping you on track.
Therapy involves focusing on the past and healing your relationship to it using various processes, modalities and techniques. In life coaching, you work with a coach in order to assess and clarify goals and target obstacles and problematic behaviors in order to create action plans which leads to a lifestyle change or the manifestation of a vision and/or goal. The process of life coaching takes your current starting point and builds on it using strategy and accountability.
