FAQ’S

What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

Coaching and therapy both aim to support personal growth and well-being, but they differ in approach and focus. Therapy often delves into emotional healing and resolving past traumas, while coaching is more action-oriented, focusing on setting and achieving present and future goals. Coaching also tends to be more structured and goal-specific, whereas therapy can explore a wider range of psychological issues.

Why would I want to work with a coach?

Working with a coach can provide you with focused guidance and support as you work towards specific goals, especially in areas like managing eating disorders, improving body image, and balancing life's demands. A coach offers accountability, fresh perspectives, and practical strategies to help you navigate challenges and make meaningful changes in your life.

How is your approach different than other coaches, therapy, or treatments?

My approach is deeply rooted in personal and professional experience, emphasizing a holistic and empathetic understanding of each individual's journey. I focus on not just the symptoms but the underlying factors contributing to eating disorders and body image issues, integrating practical strategies with compassionate support.

How is your approach similar to other types of coaches, therapy, or treatments?

Like many coaches and therapists, I prioritize creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their challenges. My methods incorporate evidence-based practices and a client-centred approach, which are common in both coaching and therapeutic settings.

Are all of your services online?

Yes, all my services are provided online using Zoom, a secure and user-friendly platform. This allows for greater flexibility and accessibility for clients, regardless of their location.

How do I know if coaching is right for me?

Coaching is ideal for individuals who are ready to actively work on specific goals and are seeking guidance to navigate their challenges. If you're looking for structured support to make tangible changes in your life, especially regarding eating disorders or body image, coaching could be a great fit for you.
