Frequently AskedQuestions

Life coaching is a collaborative partnership between you and a trained professional who helps you identify your goals, overcome obstacles, and create actionable plans for lasting change. Unlike therapy, life coaching focuses on your future — where you want to go and how to get there.

Therapy often addresses past traumas and mental health diagnoses, while life coaching is forward-focused and goal-oriented. Coaches help you set and achieve specific objectives in career, relationships, wellness, and personal growth. Many people work with both a therapist and a life coach for comprehensive support.

Anyone seeking clarity, direction, or accountability can benefit from life coaching. Common clients include professionals navigating career transitions, individuals improving relationships, people building healthier habits, and those going through major life changes like divorce, retirement, or relocation.

Most clients see meaningful progress within 3–6 months of regular sessions. The duration depends on your goals, commitment level, and the complexity of what you want to achieve. Many coaches offer packages ranging from 3 to 12 months, with sessions typically every 1–2 weeks.
