Yes. Many clients find it extremely helpful to do both Life Coaching and Therapy at the same time.
Both have different focuses. Life Coaching focuses on personal growth, goal-setting, and creating actionable plans for the future, whereas traditional therapy often delves into past experiences and healing wounds.

Life Coaching is about life creating and focuses on personal growth, goal-setting, and creating actionable plans for the future.
Traditional therapy often delves into past experiences and emotions to address mental health issues and heal wounds. It’s more reflective and therapeutic in nature.

People can benefit from working with a Coach in various different situations and at different stages of their lives. Here are some common reasons clients come for Coaching:
Goal setting: Coaching can help you get crystal clear on your goal or goals and create a realistic plan to reach them.
Career Transition: Whether you are contemplating a career change, starting a new job, launching your own business, or transitioning into retirement, a Life Coach can provide guidance and support to navigate these transitions successfully.
Personal Development: Clients seeking personal growth, increased self-awareness, and improved confidence can benefit from strategies and techniques suggested through Coaching.
Time Management: A Coach can assist you in developing effective time management strategies.
Stress and Anxiety Management: Coaching can help clients develop coping mechanisms for stress, anxiety, and burnout.
Health and Fitness: Whether it’s a performance goal, physical fitness, or a healthier lifestyle, a Life Coach can provide guidance and accountability to help clients make sustainable changes.
Creativity and Inspiration: A Life Coach can help clients remove blocks, tap into their creative potential, and find new sources of inspiration.
Life Transitions: Divorce, retirement, and grief can be challenging to navigate alone. Clients often seek support and guidance from a Life Coach during these times.
Accountability: A Life Coach can provide accountability to help you stay on track with your goals.
Change Management: Change in the workplace, home, and family can be difficult for individuals to understand and navigate. Working with a Life Coach is a great way to ease the discomfort of change.
Mindset: Clients looking to improve their mental strength or shift to a positive mindset find huge benefits from working with a Coach.
A good Life Coach will never tell a client what to do.
A Coach's role is to help guide you to make the right decisions and choices for your life. No one knows you better than you do yourself. A Coach's job is to ask you powerful questions and provide honest feedback, encouragement, and accountability for their clients.
Like many Coaches, I work with clients in session blocks so that we have the best chance to achieve the desired outcome.
If we decide to work together I will ask you to commit to three sessions over whatever time frame is best suited to your goal. This ensures you have the best chance of success.
Some reasons include:
The client wants to make a change, and a Coach helps them gain clarity and encourages them to take action.
The Coach provides a different perspective.
A Coach provides honest feedback.
A Coach can challenge and empower clients to develop and achieve desires they once thought unattainable.
A Coach can help clients rehearse a course of action (such as a job interview or difficult conversation).
A Coach provides an additional resource. Such as guiding clients to a technique that may be useful for them.
A Coach can provide a trusting human connection and uninterrupted communication that can unearth the client's real conscious or unconscious desires.
