QUICK ANSWER

What does a life coach do and how is it different from therapy?

A life coach helps you clarify goals, uncover limiting beliefs, and build a step-by-step plan with accountability so you move forward. Coaching focuses on your present and future growth, while therapy typically treats mental health conditions and past trauma.

Key takeaways

  • Coaching is forward-focused and action-oriented.
  • A coach asks powerful questions rather than giving orders.
  • Accountability turns intentions into results.

What happens in a coaching session?

We clarify what you truly want, explore what is holding you back, and agree on practical next steps. Each session ends with clear actions and a renewed sense of direction.

How is coaching different from therapy?

Therapy is a licensed health service that often heals past wounds and treats clinical conditions. Coaching supports people who are ready to grow and take action now. If you are facing a mental health concern, please consult a qualified professional alongside any coaching.

What is a manifestation or mindset coach?

A mindset coach focuses on beliefs and thought patterns; a manifestation coach adds Law of Attraction tools such as visualisation, energy alignment, and intention setting. My coaching blends both.

How do I know if I need a coach?

If you feel stuck, keep repeating the same patterns, know what you want but can't stay consistent, or sense you are capable of more — coaching can help.

How do I choose the right coach?

Look for alignment in values, a clear process, and genuine connection in a first conversation. You should feel both safe and stretched.
