How is Coaching different?

Unlike traditional cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on the Why of your problem, my transformational coaching programs focus on How you are creating the problem so we can release you from it. Because of the depth of the tools that I use, results can often be achieved in as little as 3-6 months, depending on the complexity of the original problem. 

Traditional therapy is wonderful and helps a lot of people, and it has some limitations. While it is wonderful to stop you from driving off the cliff of your issues, it fails to teach you how to turn your car around and drive away which means the best you can hope for is a life looking out over the cliff you want to avoid. Not very much fun.

Transformational Coaching is all about giving you the tangible tools you need to learn how to take control of your car, do a three-point turn and drive away. This opens up immense possibility and puts you back in the driver seat of your life. And isn't that what we all want?
Traditional therapy vs. Empowerment CoachingTherapy assumes people are broken and attempts to "fix" them. Coaching knowns you are whole and supports you on your life journey.
​
Therapy deals with the past. Coaching deals with the present and the future.  ​

Therapy asks WHY. Coaching asks HOW.

In therapy the therapist has the answer. In Coaching you have the answer.
 In therapy the progress can be slow and painful. ​In Coaching growth and progress generally are rapid and enjoyable.

​Empowerment Coaching is about generating the life you want and removing the old emotions and limiting beliefs that are holding you back.  People come to coaching because they crave inner growth and change.

Empowerment Coaching is based upon the belief that you are whole and complete, resourceful and creative.  As your coach, I am your partner and provide you with support, insight, tools and strategies to help you to access your own inner wisdom.  

Empowerment Coaching is a forward-moving and action-oriented process designed to assist you in recognizing what is holding you back so you can move beyond it.

If you are looking to bring more balance, clarity and fulfilment to your life or are frustrated with other therapeutic modalities that make you feel broken and unfixable, Empowerment Coaching is for you. ​
