Self-Development Coaching
A self-development coach is a professional who specializes in helping individuals achieve personal growth, self-improvement, and reaching their full potential. Alternatively known as life coaches or personal coaches, self-development coaches work with clients on various aspects of their lives.
Trauma Healing
Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence is a concept that describes a person’s ability to recognize, understand, manage, and effectively use their own emotions, as well as the emotions of others.
Shadow Work
The shadow represents the aspects of ourselves that we hide, suppress, and deny because they are deemed socially unacceptable, morally objectionable, or inconsistent with our self-image.
PIESS Model
What Is Self-Development Coaching?
A personal development coach operates as a trusted guide and mentor, committed to facilitating an individual’s journey of self-improvement and personal growth. Utilizing their expert knowledge and skills, they first conduct a thorough assessment of the client’s present situation and their aspirations for the future.
Who Is Coaching For?
Self-development coaching is for individuals who are committed to personal growth and improvement. It caters to those seeking to enhance their self-confidence, interpersonal skills, career prospects, and overall well-being. Self-development coaching provides guidance, support, and strategies to help you set and achieve your goals, overcome obstacles, and unlock your full potential.
What is the difference between life coaching and therapy?
Life coaching and therapy are both practices aimed at helping individuals improve their lives and overall well-being, but they have distinct differences in terms of their focus, approach, and goals. It is important to know that Life Coaches are not Licensed Therapists, therefore it is not a substitute for professional or medical treatment.
I. Focus:
a. Life Coaching: Life coaching primarily focuses on setting and achieving personal and professional goals. Coaches work with clients to identify their strengths, values, and aspirations, and help them create actionable plans to reach their desired outcomes. Life
coaching often centers on personal development, career growth, relationships, and overall life satisfaction.
b. Therapy (Counseling): Therapy focuses on addressing psychological and emotional challenges. Therapists help clients explore their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and past experiences to understand and manage issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma,
grief, and other mental health concerns. Therapy delves into the root causes of problems and emphasizes healing and personal growth.
II. Approach: The best of both worlds.
I have 7 years’ experience in trauma healing work. Therefore, I believe it is imperative to look at how the messages we received in the past shape who we are today. I am not a licensed therapist but have extensive training in therapeutic work. In summary, life coaching and therapy serve different purposes and cater to distinct needs. Life coaching focuses on goal attainment, personal development, and forward progress, while therapy addresses emotional, psychological, and mental health concerns, often involving deeper exploration of past experiences and emotions. In my program you will experience a combination of both.
How much does it cost and how do we get started?
First, we meet for 45 minutes and decide if this is right for us. In this initial session we will discuss goals, wants, and circumstances surrounding why you are looking for a partner for success in the first place. Then we discuss your budget and figure out something that works for both of us. The average price per session is $150.
How long do I need a coach for?
Everyone is different but the shortest time frame to cover all of the PIESS is 5 weeks.
