I appreciate your feedback.
Philosophy
While there are grey areas, a coach is different to other support professionals. Each option has its advantages and it's up to you to choose the tools that suit your challenges:
Guide/Mentor/Advisor/Consultant - They are the expert and you hire them for their ability to lead or solve your problems for you.
Counsellor - Typically a short-term engagement. Helpful to heal emotionally and achieve a stable present.
Psychotherapist - Similar to a counsellor, often longer-term to uncover more complex emotional experiences and heal on a deeper level.
Psychologist/Psychiatrist - Expertly qualified to diagnose and/or provide treatment for specific mental disorders.
Coach - A thinking partner who encourages you to practice the curiosity and autonomy required to discover your own solutions. Respects your expertise on your life over their opinion.
Meet the Client
This might describe you now or how you see yourself in the future:
You prioritise yourself, understanding that this benefits everyone around you.
You're eager to practice self-reflection and are open to challenging your limiting beliefs.
You continue your effort between sessions and sense when it's a good time for coaching.
You celebrate the valuable lessons gained from your efforts, making every attempt a 'success'.
Clients who receive my style of coaching learn to depend on themselves, and return only when it could be of further benefit.
You didn't choose the cards you were dealt which is why I'm much more interested in how you're playing them. I'm not seeking specific external attributes in my clients. Anyone who's on a journey to grow by looking inwards and taking action can benefit from my coaching.
