Life Coaching differs from therapy and consulting in several respects. Fundamentally the client is seen as creative resourceful and whole. There is nothing that needs to be fixed, nothing that is broken mentally or emotionally. The Life Coach doesn’t come into the relationship with all the answers - or with any of the answers for that matter. The power as I see it is contained in the questions I’m able to ask and in so doing move the client to a completely new and exciting place in his or her life. Nor do I, using Life Coaching techniques, come into the relationship with the power. The power in Life Coaching is in the alliance which is created between Life Coach and client and is in the relationship itself.

That said, Life Coaching is based in the present with the invitation of constantly moving forward.

Coaching, by its very name, implies that a person is "coach-able."  There will often be times when the client is asked to do something between sessions.

Life Coaching is done in four thirty minute sessions per month, with e-mail if needed between sessions. Since Life Coaching clients don’t get into story telling, the content of the sessions tends to be very focused and a lot of ground can be covered in just a short amount of time.
