What is the difference between coaching, consulting, and therapy?
Is it okay to work with a therapist and a coach?
Yes! They have different goals and approaches. Therapy is focused on addressing emotional or psychological issues, while coaching is focused on achieving specific goals and developing skills.
​
Working with a therapist can help you address and overcome deep-seated emotional or psychological issues that are impacting your mental health and well-being. Therapists are trained to help clients develop insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and to provide them with tools and strategies to manage and cope with their issues.
​
Working with a coach, on the other hand, can help you develop new skills, overcome obstacles, and achieve your goals. Coaches are trained to help clients identify and clarify their goals, create a plan to achieve those goals, and provide support and accountability along the way.
​
By working with both a therapist and a coach, you can address both your emotional and psychological well-being as well as your personal and professional development. However, it's important to communicate with both your therapist and coach about your goals, progress, and any overlapping issues or concerns to ensure that they are working together in a coordinated and effective manner.
What are frequent session topics?
Coaches often address a wide range of topics, depending on their expertise and the specific needs of their clients. In my practice, I focus on wellness, parenting, career, and business alignment. Here are some common questions that frequently come up during coaching sessions:
​
-
How can I find balance between my parenting responsibilities and my career/business goals?
-
What steps can I take to improve my overall well-being while managing my family's needs?
-
How can I identify and leverage my strengths as both a parent and a professional?
-
What strategies can I use to overcome obstacles that are holding me back in my personal, parenting, or professional life?
-
How can I create an effective routine that supports my wellness, family life, and business success?
-
How do I navigate the transition back into the workforce or pursue a new career while raising my children?
-
How can I set boundaries to prevent burnout and protect my mental health?
-
What are some ways to communicate effectively with my children, partner, and colleagues to foster healthier relationships?
-
How can I boost my confidence and self-worth in both parenting and business?
-
What steps can I take to build and grow a business that aligns with my personal values and family life?
​
These are just a few examples of the topics we explore together. Through tailored strategies, goal-setting, and supportive guidance, I help clients clarify their objectives, identify barriers, and develop actionable plans to create a fulfilling and balanced life.
How do I know if I am coachable?
Being coachable means being open to feedback, eager to learn, and ready to make meaningful changes in your life. If you’re considering coaching in wellness, parenting, or career and business development, here are some signs that you’re ready for the journey:
​
You have a growth mindset: You believe that your abilities, both as a parent and a professional, can be developed through effort and dedication. You view challenges as opportunities for growth, not just obstacles.
​
You're willing to take responsibility for your actions: You understand that the choices you make directly impact your personal and professional life. You’re not afraid to admit mistakes and are open to learning from them to improve your parenting, wellness, or business practices.
​
You're open to feedback: You’re willing to listen to constructive feedback, even if it’s not always easy to hear. Instead of taking it personally, you use it as a tool for growth and self-improvement in all areas of your life.
​
You're committed to your goals: You have a clear vision of what you want to achieve in your parenting journey, personal wellness, or career, and you’re ready to work hard to make it happen. You’re open to making changes in your life to align with these goals.
​
You're willing to try new things: You’re open to exploring new approaches, whether that’s a new self-care routine, a parenting strategy, or a career shift. You’re not afraid to step outside your comfort zone and experiment with different strategies to find what works best for you.
​
If these qualities resonate with you, you’re likely coachable. Remember, being coachable doesn’t mean having all the answers; it means being open to learning, growing, and working with a coach to move toward your goals.

How long does coaching engagement last?Â
The duration of coaching varies based on your specific goals and needs. For my parenting coaching program, the journey lasts 10 weeks, providing focused support to help you implement effective strategies and create lasting change.
My wellness coaching programs offer more flexibility, with options to work together for 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months, depending on the depth of transformation you’re seeking. We begin with weekly one-hour sessions for the first month, then transition to bi-weekly sessions to continue building momentum.
If you prefer a more self-paced approach, I also offer on-demand programs, allowing you to access tailored content at your own speed, providing insights and tools whenever you need them.
What if I don't know what I want to be coached around?
If you’re interested in coaching but aren’t sure where to start, that’s completely normal. Many people seek coaching because they feel stuck, uncertain, or dissatisfied but can’t pinpoint exactly what they need to address. The good news is that you don’t need to have all the answers before we begin.
A key part of my coaching approach is helping you uncover and clarify your goals. During our first session, we’ll explore the eight dimensions of wellness, allowing you to rate different areas of your life, from parenting to career and personal well-being. This process can highlight where things might be out of balance and guide us toward where you need the most support.
Reflecting on your values and priorities is a great place to start. Ask yourself what truly matters to you and where you might feel stuck or uncertain, whether it’s in parenting, your career, or your health. Then, we’ll work together to identify the barriers that might be holding you back and develop a tailored plan to create the change you’re seeking.
Remember, coaching is a collaborative process. You don’t have to know all the answers at the outset—that’s why I’m here to guide you through this journey of self-discovery and growth.
What are frequent life transitions?
Life transitions are significant changes that require us to adapt to new circumstances. They can be challenging, yet they also present opportunities for growth and self-discovery. Here are some of the most common life transitions that often come up in my coaching:
• Career Changes: Whether you’re returning to work after having children, starting a business, or shifting to a new career path, navigating career changes can feel overwhelming but rewarding.
• Relationship Changes: This includes changes in intimate relationships, such as getting married, becoming a parent, or navigating separation and divorce while balancing family responsibilities.
• Parenthood: From becoming a new parent to raising children of various ages or experiencing an empty nest, parenthood comes with its own set of transitions that impact every aspect of life.
• Moving: Adjusting to a new city, country, or even just a new neighborhood can be a significant change, especially when it involves uprooting your family and creating new routines.
• Health Changes: Coping with changes in physical or mental health, whether it’s illness, injury, or chronic stress, can deeply impact your daily life and overall well-being.
• Financial Changes: Managing changes in income, financial hardships, or even sudden wealth requires a mindset shift and often a reassessment of priorities.
These transitions can be stressful, but they also provide an opportunity to realign with your goals and values. As a coach, I help you navigate these changes with tailored strategies, offering support and guidance to move forward positively and healthily.

Coaching, consulting, and therapy are all services aimed at helping individuals improve their personal or professional lives, but they differ in their goals, methods, and focus.

​
Therapy is a service that helps individuals deal with emotional and psychological issues that are impacting their mental health and well-being. Therapists work with clients to help them identify and understand their feelings, behaviors, and thought patterns, and provide them with the tools to cope with or overcome these issues. Therapists usually work on a long-term basis and focus on addressing the underlying causes of the client's problems.
